    Somebodyhire.me▲15

    I originally had this as a personal resume site but decided to build it out into a platform where anyone can sign up and host a resume page. Once I build up the talent pool, I plan on marketing to hr depts and hiring managers. I just don't know a single person who's happy with hiring on either side right now and this feels like a better solution to me.
