#12Have you looked at Duotrope (duotrope.com)? That solves a similar problem - tracking acceptances / rejections for writers. The constraints are a little different in that an author may have many pieces, but usually each magazine will only look at one piece at a time, and they will often request that you not submit a piece to multiple magazines at once.

I have not, will check them out, thank you. One at-a-glance difference is that they charge individual writers, which probably makes sense. I'm fairly allergic to charging job seekers though.

#14Very cool, and useful! Though I wouldn't trust this for jobs which require clearances etc. Also, I'd be afraid of hiring managers emails being leaked, but from one of your post, your security seems to be decent.

#15Phenomenal. Highly needed product. Wish I were a VC and could invest!

If I were looking for a job, I would gladly pay a couple hundred dollars to use this. There is real value in a streamlined way to track all of my applications' statuses like this. I've used lists on Asana with custom categories in the past, but this is a lot cleaner.
If you'd really rather not go the monetization of job seekers route, one suggestion would be to try and sell this to people running upskill programs i.e. coding bootcamps as a product they could give their students/graduates access to.

#18Yeah, the last version of the software that became my YOShInOn RSS reader was an application tracking system. I had a great answer to "tell me about a project you've worked on" that got me a machine learning job in two weeks.

#19Looks pretty good, i'm wondering how are you planning on monetizing this?
Through employers, not job seekers. Not sure how to put this without marketing-speak, but I do truly believe that there is a win-win proposition here where an amazing candidate experience can be highly beneficial to the hiring org. I wrote down some thoughts on https://rolepad.com/employers as well. As I mentioned in the original post, there is a lot of consider here privacy-wise but I definitely have some concrete i…
I honestly think you should aim to make jobseekers pay instead of the job offerers.
The automation of job applications means that basically everyone tunes out when they hit 100+ CV's, go post a small wage globally remote job to test and you will see what I mean.
A dollar here or there definitely means your clients will get actual people who are serious about wanting it rather than the current spray and pray system that inundates and overwhelms anyone who puts up jobs today.

Thank you! Would you mind expanding on the concern around hiring manager emails getting leaked? Curious what you consider sensitive in these emails and how that data might be used inappropriately. Just want to ensure I don't have gaps in my risk assessment.
