About this idea
Want to feel like a person, not a number on your job search? Join a community of people who can tell you what posted jobs are scam jobs, ghost jobs and more. They share insights with you and you share with them. As if you matter and your experience in the market, good or bad, has value and insight for others - which it does. Is there a reason skilled professionals shouldn't share with each other the scammers they encountered? Who benefits when we spend more time stuck on the "roads" of modern hiring instead of finding the right employer? The job seeking community is the greatest untapped resource of job seeking value that you didn't realize you always needed. Stop by today.
Impact
We would help job seekers better acquire work by giving them a reputation system to know which hiring processes to avoid. We help employers to choose better talent companies by giving them access to feedback on these companies. They already paid for these services. What is the benefit to not knowing job seekers opinions of the services that they already bought? We help small businesses who have been so negatively impacted by hiring being scaled and rife with professional catfishing which function as "funny cat video" clickbait to keep job seekers on the "roads" of modern hiring instead of being employed .
What I'll do with $5,000
With the money I would do marketing outreach on Blind for Business, Reddit and LinkedIn to acquire job seekers and employer buy in to the data and insights we need. Acquiring traction from job seekers to demonstrate the validity of the idea will help acquire job seekers will help the positive feedback loop.
