Seeking Your Insights for a New Hiring Platform
Hello everyone,
I’m in the process of developing a new platform designed to enhance the connection between job seekers and recruiters, facilitating a more personalized and efficient hiring experience. My aim is to tackle common challenges and create a solution that benefits both parties in the hiring process.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback, especially if you’re a recruiter or talent acquisition professional. Here are a few questions to consider:
- What are the biggest challenges or frustrations you encounter when sourcing, connecting with, or hiring candidates?
- Are there any specific tools or features that you feel are missing from existing job boards or platforms?
- Would you find value in a platform that focuses on connecting you with job seekers who have been pre-screened or matched to your criteria?
- How important are aspects such as transparent communication, candidate preparation, or insights into their expectations?
Your input will be crucial as I refine this concept. I’m here to clarify any details or answer questions you may have.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Hi there!
I love the initiative you’re taking to create a platform that bridges the gap between job seekers and recruiters. It’s definitely a crucial area that could benefit from innovation. Here are my thoughts on your questions:
Challenges and Frustrations: One of the biggest challenges we face is the volume of applications that don’t meet the requirements, which can be overwhelming. Additionally, many candidates lack a clear understanding of the roles they apply for, leading to a mismatch in expectations. Time-consuming resume screenings and ineffective communication can also hinder the process.
Desired Tools/Features: It would be incredibly useful to have AI-driven tools that can help filter candidates not only by skills and experience but also by cultural fit. Features like a built-in chat function for real-time communication, as well as the ability to schedule interviews directly through the platform, would streamline the process significantly. Another great addition could be a skills assessment feature that lets candidates demonstrate their abilities before applying.
Vetting and Matching: Absolutely! A platform that allows for pre-vetted candidates would save a lot of time and effort. Having candidates matched based on specific criteria would allow us to focus on those who are genuinely a good fit from the start, improving the overall quality of hires.
Transparent Communication and Insights: These elements are incredibly important. Transparent communication helps in managing expectations on both sides. If candidates are better prepared for interviews through insights about the company culture, role expectations, and desired skills, it would lead to more productive conversations and a smoother hiring process.
I hope these insights help you as you develop your platform. I’m excited to see how it evolves and would love to participate in any form of beta testing when you’re ready!
Best of luck with your project!
