Business Idea: An AI-powered platform that scrapes internal corporate career pages and matches job listings to candidates’ CVs, helping job seekers discover hidden opportunities and improve application quality.
Problem: Many companies post roles exclusively on internal websites, leaving traditional job boards incomplete. Job seekers miss out on numerous relevant opportunities hidden behind these internal pages, and identifying genuine openings is challenging.
Solution: A smart scraping and matching service that aggregates job postings from thousands of corporate websites, filters listings based on individual CV profiles, and highlights the most relevant opportunities, removing “ghost jobs” to boost accuracy.
Target Audience: Job seekers, career changers, recruiters, and smaller companies looking to attract targeted applicants more effectively.
Monetization: Freemium model offering basic matching for free; premium features include enhanced analytics, real-time alerts, and advanced filtering. Additionally, companies can subscribe for visibility boosts or job posting analytics.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Combines extensive internal scraping with AI-driven matching that filters out irrelevant and “ghost” jobs, providing users with a higher-quality, personalized job discovery experience unlike standard job boards.
Launch Strategy: Start with a simple web app allowing users to upload CVs and view matched job listings. Focus initially on a niche industry or region, gather user feedback, and then expand scraping capabilities and features incrementally.
