My big problem with Hired.com and similar sites is that there's no incentive for anyone to be honest. I have no incentive to say "not interested" to anyone, and they have no incentive to back up the salary they post. It's the equivalent of the "always swipe right" strategy on Tinder -- it's in your best interest to say "maybe" or "interested" to everything, because otherwise you don't know if you're missing out on opportunities. What I really want as a hiring manager is for someone to show up and say "Here's Candidate A. We think they're strong because X, Y, Z, and here's the proof." Someone whose mission is to honestly find me the best candidate, who isn't just trying to place someone as fast as possible so they get their commission. Most recruiters I know are interested in placing a good candidate as quickly as possible, but there are a lot of problems with this. "Good" isn't "best", and often times the recruiters don't know the difference between Java and Javascript, and I wind up with junk resumes in my inbox. So how do we fix this? I have no idea. But there's gotta be a way. I don't think that way is going to be scalable with a simple web application. I think you have to have a secret weapon that nobody else has, and maybe that's just a group of in-industry professionals that vet candidates on your behalf, or maybe it's some incredible machine learning algorithm, or maybe it's something else entirely. As a job seeker, I want to get the best job I can, and as a boss, I want the best employees I can get. And I don't think those things are mutually exclusive at all.
