Anyone that can make hiring better would make a fortune. Even if you can make something super specialized like hiring for ai programmers or biochemists would make a fortune.

It amazes me how many hiring platforms/tools there are. Greenhouse, lever etc. It's like I see a new one every day.

Is it finding people or background checks or onboarding? What's the source of pain?

some issues: - massive information asymmetry b/n company and applicants. - companies are different. why conform to standard "job types" like "data scientist", "software engineer" etc when a potentially custom tailored description would do a much better job? - In technical fields the "non-technical recruiter as the gate keeper" model breaks down. - There are many issues if you really dig in.
