I have already built HiredUpon and InterviewAt. I have been focused on this space as ex-AMZN, ex-MSFT, ex-startup, etc for the last 3 years.

My experience with ATS systems shows that there is room for improvement.

If there are any decision makers on this thread with whom I could do a customer discovery call, I would appreciate it. Please raise your hand and I will schedule.

I have an AMZN style FAQ working backwards document already completed. I want to humanize hiring and change how candidates and companies meet in the marketplace.

Here's a fun fact: resumes are limited to 1 page (2 front and back) because of the staple. Candidate's didn't want to risk losing a page on submission, and HR departments hated removing the staple when they shredded docs.

So, because of the lowly staple, we still have the high information inefficient resume as a digital representation when applying to jobs.

We can do better. I want to build something to do better.
