Imagine you're a job seeker, sending out dozens, maybe hundreds of applications, only to hear nothing back. It's disheartening, right? Welcome to application hell. It's a place where countless applications disappear into the void, leaving even the most talented candidates in the dark.
On the flip side, picture a company's hiring team. They post one job opening and, within days, they're drowning in a sea of thousands of resumes. How do they sift through all of them to find the right fit? It's an overwhelming task, and many great candidates slip through the cracks.
A recent example of this chaos? Plum, a company that received 8,569 applications in just four days for a single job post. The flood of applications makes it nearly impossible for recruiters to find the perfect candidate, leading to missed opportunities on both sides.
To fix these problems, we're creating rightfit – a platform to make hiring easier for both candidates and companies. rightfit is not just another job search site; it's a new space where candidates can shine and companies can easily find the right match for their teams.
At rightfit, we believe in two powerful concepts: Proof of Work and Proof of Community
Think about your accomplishments. Instead of just listing your skills on a resume, why not show real examples of your work? That's what Proof of Work is all about. Whether it's projects you've completed, code you've written, designs you've crafted, or any tangible evidence of your abilities, Proof of Work showcases what you can do. It tells your story in a way that stands out to potential employers.
Now, let's talk about Proof of Community. It's not just about what you know; it's about how you engage with others in your field. Do you mentor others? Collaborate on projects? Participate in discussions or attend events? Proof of Community highlights your active involvement and commitment to growing with others. It shows that you're not just a lone ranger, but a valuable team player.
When you combine Proof of Work and Proof of Community, you create a powerful narrative about who you are as a professional. It's these stories that help you stand out to employers. They see your skills, dedication, and ability to work well with others. It makes you a more attractive candidate.
For companies, this approach makes the hiring process easier.
Instead of wading through endless resumes, recruiters can see real examples of candidates' work and their active participation in professional communities. It's like having a spotlight that highlights the best fit for their teams, saving time and resources, and ensuring they don't miss out on top talent.
