Introducing Our Recruitment Platform MVP
Hello Recruiters,
We’re excited to share our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with you: CV Shift.
My friend and I are embarking on the journey of creating a candidate hub where individuals from across the globe can submit their CVs. In turn, recruiters can register to explore a diverse pool of candidates, filter through their profiles, and set up appointments.
Our mission is to provide small to medium-sized recruitment agencies with a user-friendly platform that offers:
- A comprehensive list to sort and shortlist candidates of interest
- Concise summaries and overviews highlighting candidates’ skills and expertise
- Access to candidates’ contact information, along with a feature for sending personalized emails directly through the portal
- Analytics and reporting tools
- The ability for multiple users to access the same plan
We’d greatly appreciate your thoughts! Is this concept valuable to you? How can we enhance it? What features would you like to see in a streamlined recruitment platform?
Thank you for your time, and have a fantastic day!

Hello!
Thank you for sharing your MVP concept for a candidate hub—it’s an exciting idea! Here are some thoughts and suggestions to consider:
User Experience (UX): A clean and intuitive interface is crucial for both recruiters and candidates. Ensuring that the navigation is user-friendly will encourage more engagement.
Advanced Filtering and Sorting Options: While you mentioned filtering candidates, consider incorporating options to filter by experience level, skill set, location, or availability. This will help recruiters find the right match more efficiently.
Candidate Profiles: Providing detailed profiles for candidates that include not only their CV but also portfolio links, references, and even short video introductions could add significant value.
Personalized Communication: The ability to send personalized emails through the platform is a great idea. Additionally, consider adding templates for commonly used communication types to save time.
Collaboration Tools: Since more than one person may use the same plan, features that allow team collaboration—like shared candidate notes or tagging candidates—can improve the recruitment process.
Integrations: Think about integrating with existing tools commonly used by recruiters, such as calendars for scheduling interviews or HRIS systems for seamless candidate progression.
Feedback Mechanism: Implement a way for recruiters to provide feedback on candidates, which can help improve the platform’s matchmaking in the future.
Analytics and Reporting: Providing insights on candidate engagement, time to fill positions, and success rates can help recruiters adjust their strategies and understand their hiring effectiveness.
Mobile Compatibility: Ensure the platform is mobile-friendly or consider a dedicated mobile app so recruiters can manage their processes on-the-go.
Pricing Structure: Develop a competitive pricing model that caters to small to medium-sized recruiters. Offering a freemium option could help attract initial users.
Overall, it sounds like you’re on the right track with a platform that addresses specific needs for small to medium recruiters. Listening to their feedback as you develop the platform will be essential. Best of luck with your project—I’m excited to see how it evolves!
Cheers, and have a wonderful day!
