Exploring a New Candidate Sourcing Tool
Hey everyone!
I’m a tech enthusiast who enjoys creating SaaS solutions, and I’ve come up with an idea that I’d love your feedback on before diving in to build it.
What if there was a tool that enabled you to reach out to developers from specific regions? This tool would provide you with their LinkedIn, Twitter, email, Reddit profiles, and potentially even phone numbers. Would you consider paying €50 per month for something like this? It could give you direct access to potential candidates in the software development field.
The concept stems from the idea that many developers may be less responsive on LinkedIn but might be open to communication via Twitter, for example.
Do you know if a service like this already exists?
I appreciate your thoughts! Thank you!

Hi there!
I think your idea has some merit, especially since finding the right candidates can often be a challenge in the tech industry. Here are a few thoughts:
Market Need: There’s definitely a demand for more personalized outreach methods in recruitment. Many developers are inundated with LinkedIn messages, and reaching out through channels they prefer (like Twitter or Reddit) could yield better responses.
Privacy Concerns: Keep in mind that sharing personal contact information (like phone numbers or emails) raises privacy and ethical concerns. You’d need to ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, and it could reduce the tool’s appeal if users feel uncomfortable.
Competitors: It’s worth investigating if similar tools exist. Platforms like Hiretual, Reachout, and others offer varying levels of candidate sourcing. Understanding your competition will help you identify what unique value your tool could offer.
Value Proposition: Consider how you can differentiate your product. Perhaps offering features such as AI-generated outreach templates, integration with applicant tracking systems, or analytics to track response rates could enhance its value.
Pricing Justification: At €50/month, you’d want to ensure that users see a clear ROI in terms of time saved and higher quality candidate interactions. Consider piloting a beta version or survey potential users to gauge willingness to pay and additional features they’d find valuable.
Overall, it’s an interesting concept, but careful planning and research will be crucial. I’d love to hear more about how you plan to address the challenges to make this tool successful!
Best of luck!
