This is awesome! There are so many gems here that even if pick up 50% of it and deliver on it, we would be golden. This is probably the most nuanced advise I have received on the s…

Thanks for that feedback. Yeah, that's one of the major aspects we are focusing on (we are not 100% there). Especially since we work with early-age startups and founders directly i…

Interesting. So instead of recommending your friends, you would be recommending best-suited companies to your friends? I have seen a few of my friends do that when they are helping…

Thanks for the feedback. We will fix it right away :)

It is an excellent point and very similar to the experience we had seen when we first started with this approach. We have seen that once financial incentives and limits on no of pe…

Thank you so much! Yeah, Memer was our previous startup where we figured out the extent of difficulty of tech hiring.

Very legit point! That is a concern that some of our prospective users do share. What they do in that case is vouch for ones who they know are looking out or can benefit from vouch…

Sorry about that. I understand that it's a big friction point. We would be piloting a web app as well soon to solve for that :)

Yeah. That does happen to be an inherent problem with a recommendation/referral based system. We do see that people recommend engineers very similar to them in profile/demographic.…

We also have a different plan where it's completely success-based. You pay only if you hire any of our vouched engineers. We charge 15% of annual base salary in that case though.

Can you check now? It should be available. We do have 1 canadian company who is hiring for engineers in both US and Canada. We had not opened it till now but have just done that.

Awesome! Looking forward to have you as a user :)

Thank you so much Leonard for the support and wishes :)

Great. On 2, we are currently live in US and India so are available in that geography. We couldn't do much about recommendations coming from other geographies (as we don't have man…

Yeah, that's how most current recommendations work (when one understands the needs of both sides). But we feel that it puts too much friction to recommend. "It sounds like once I a…

Yes, there is that danger but we have not seen that happening as of yet. Users are only asked for positive reviews

You can choose to remove your name from the outreach if you want to

Great question. It is something which we ourselves asked quite a bit. Currently we don't vet the person who recommends. We leave that decision on to the companies we work with. We …

Hey HN. We are Amit, Chetan, Anubhav and Hari, the cofounders of Weekday ( https://www.weekday.works ). We are building a recruitment platform centered around recommendations. We h…

Thanks OJFord. Under education, I tried to highlight a few short term opportunities for indian startups to focus on. From K 12 education to college education, all technology soluti…

Completely agree with you on this one. The situation is much more worse than what we living in a bubble imagine. The video really touches your heart. Reminds me of a couple of my f…

I don't think its the responsibility of the state. It is of the startups to move out of their english speaking bubble and realise the potential of non-english speaking india.

Great points you made. Agree with the fact that Swarachakra is too crowded and huge scope of improvement there. Also agree that the root of problem lie with education and state pol…
