Business Idea:
A job platform that enhances applicant success by combining role aggregation from multiple job boards with direct access to hiring managers, employees, and alumni contacts to boost referral-based hiring.
Problem:
Job seekers face challenges with blind applications often overlooked, making it hard to stand out and connect directly with decision-makers, leading to inefficient job searching and lower success rates.
Solution:
A web-based service that aggregates open roles from over 10+ job boards, personalizes job matching based on user interests, and provides direct contact information for hiring managers, employees, and alumni to facilitate referrals and personalized outreach.
Target Audience:
Active job seekers, especially those frustrated with traditional applications, early career professionals, recruiters, and companies looking to streamline referral-based hiring.
Monetization:
Free trial access to attract users, with potential future revenue from premium features such as advanced contact data, personalized coaching, or corporate subscriptions.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Unlike traditional job boards, it emphasizes referral-driven applications by providing direct contact info, making the process more personal, efficient, and increasing chances of success.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a lean MVP integrating job aggregation and basic contact info, gather user feedback, and iterate. Offer free trials to attract initial users, collect insights, and gradually introduce premium features.
