24 alternatives to Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment
HB here, sharing my first post ; ) I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills. Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours? https://candydate.app, has the following goals: 1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms.…

Generally, I found resumes too vague to get to know anyone (hence why no one networks with them), professional blogs too low ROI, walking up to people unscalable, and cold messaging fairly low success-rate. I wanted the 'marketing tool' of networking to get myself out there. Something that lets me: 1) Draw people into a conversation before they've realized it 2) Make them remember me and ultimately reach out to me 3) See what people asked me so I can further refine my interactive profile and start the networking cycle again So I built a website where anyone can create these interactive…

Hey HackerNews folks! I first launched DatingAI.pro to help people improve their dating profiles, get reply suggestions, etc but to that I got feedback where people pointed out that someone could just impersonate their entire profile which made sense and I thought what if I could actually help people really get better at texting or conversations by giving them feedback and letting them improve via suggestions. I understand a human date can't be replaced but certainly we could help to an extent. NOTE - THIS IS NOT AN AI GIRLFRIEND. This is how it works: 1. Swipe from profiles of the opposite…

userpitch.ai▲11LinkedIn has become a carnival of fake engagement, spammy DMs, and job listings that lead nowhere. After years of watching my resume vanish into the abyss of the "Jobs" tab, I realized it was time for something new. I’m not alone. I surveyed 1,000 recent college grads—and the vast majority shared the same frustration: Why is there no platform that helps candidates stand out, instead of blend in? So I built userpitch: a candidate-first public platform where people can showcase who they are—not just what they've done—through short, voice-based elevator pitches. No feeds. No spam. No corporate…

Yuki▲12Hey everyone, I want to show you my iOS app. For the past 8 months I worked on this revamp and the app was approved on the App Store two days ago on the first go. How did I come up with the idea? Last year while I was looking for a new app to build I found lots of Reddit posts where people were asking about "How to practice flirting" or "How to flirt". Most of the posts had a ton of engagement and I thought that it might be a good opportunity to build an app which helps people with this problem. The first version of the app was not great, but I got 4 customers and made $94. Two paid monthly…
