What does an integrated solution to the hiring problem look like?
Hi guys, I am new to posting on Reddit but want to mention I am not trying to self-promote.
I built a web app that basically auto applies to roles in one click for candidates by leveraging automated workflows and a universal candidate profile. All of the email comms pertaining to each role are fed back into the web app, where responses can be sent from. Application statuses are automatically updated courtesy of AI analysis on the emails.
This is a local maximum solution for your typical applicant who wants to cast a wide net. It does not work at scale, since you need buy in from companies and recruitment teams. If you enable the application count to increase a lot, the vetting, review, interview, etc. processes need to be built out as well.
I am wondering what you guys think that might entail. I see a lot of talk in here about how hard it it to reliably do initial candidate screenings, about how the resume is an outdated method, and how skills-based assessments are useful, but only when applied correctly.
I basically want to build out the true, prescriptive solution to all of these issues (and more) - on one platform. Vertically integrating the hiring process to some degree. If assessments work, but are hard to do, I want to build the source of truth in that context, at scale, for every organization of any size.
I hope this doesn't sound vain - I have no idea where to start on this side of the ball, and you all seem smart and well-opinionated. What does an integrated solution look like? What pain points might be solved by amassing a ton of proprietary candidate data? What gaps are left that still need examining?
I really believe that putting all of this under one roof is a tremendous value-add to anyone involved in a hiring process, but I would love a little direction from those who are involved on the side doing the hiring:)
