Purple Squirrel
Imagine if Bumble met LinkedIn. While casually exploring Bumble (as a guest, of course; ), I had an intriguing thought: What if job boards adopted a similar interface? Picture this—a platform where recruiters and candidates can swipe right or left on each other, making the job search as intuitive and engaging as dating apps.
But here's the twist: instead of the usual waiting game for someone to make the first move, both parties are prompted to share their availability for an interview right away. This approach cuts down on the back-and-forth, streamlining the process and bringing top talent and employers together faster and more efficiently.
