Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment HB here, sharing my first post ; ) I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills. Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours? https://candydate.app , has the following goals: 1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms. 2. Employ AI to help rank applicants for each role, based on human factors and company culture. 3. Transform the selection process into something akin to scrolling through TikTok or using Tinder. Job seekers won't need to fill out forms, attach resumes, create an account or download anything. They just scan a QR code, record a short video, and they're done. It's truly simple! The aim was never to build an ATS (too complex for our needs) or a job listing site (there are many already). Instead, something simpler, to use wherever we already advertise vacancies, be it online or in print. We believe small businesses that lack recruitment tools (like we did) might appreciate it, although Candydate can certainly help businesses of all sizes. I have no idea how to launch or promote this type of tool, so any feedback or tips on spreading the word or improving the app would be immensely appreciated. Many thanks, HN! https://candydate.app May 29, 2023 at 08:04PM
