  6. Pre HR based Job Listing platform for startups (applicant pay at time of registration as one time fee, for their comprehensive OAs, Communication round, Technical, Feedback and HR round -> A detailed summary is generated with a inbuilt rating system with validity of one year). The revenue generated is turn given to recruiters to preferentially hire through our platform.
    • What it solves? Spam of applicants; Rejected applications are penalized with decreased rating at discretion of company.; Reduced cost of hiring for recruiters; instead we pay them to hire talents 😃
    • What after ratings are generated? Hiring Company will also given ratings and hiring company will hire talent with compatible rating. If company want to hire better talents, they need to pay hefty money per talent.
    • What's the difference? It's a platform where applicant don't apply for job but make a profile and relax. Compatible company come for them
    • applicant- Hey I skilled up, what now? Applicant can give repeated interview at max 3 times a month at discounted price or they can also give a interview after the validity is over for refreshing ratings.
    • applicant - Is my profile public? No; No recruiters can see your profile unless you are compatible for the job.
    • I am fit for role, will recruiters visit my profile? At first to reduce workload, the platform will only list only selected few profiles based on number of open roles, if applicant don't want to work/recruiters is not satisfied, then the platform will release more profile with a possible abuse check.
