Initial UX upgrades delivered measurable gains, but subsequent analysis identified multiple leverage points for further improvement. Subsequent discovery sessions with employers and sales revealed critical friction points that will shape our communication framework.
1. Inefficient lead generation
Startups and enterprises alike struggle to source qualified candidates on conventional platforms (e.g., LinkedIn), resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios
2. Poor Cost-to-Quality ratio
Traditional job boards and recruitment channels deliver insufficient candidate quality relative to their high costs, making ROI difficult to justify
3. Manual screening overhead
Recruiters waste hours reviewing irrelevant CVs—startups need pre-vetted, top-tier candidates instantly, not lengthy screening processes
4. Slow Time-to-Hire
Excessive vetting delays access to high-potential talent. Businesses need direct pipelines to pre-assessed candidates, not multi-stage filters
5. High cost, low value
Traditional hiring platforms charge premium fees but fail to deliver curated, ready-to-interview professionals, inflating recruitment budgets
