I worked in IT for 10+ years doing Network Admin/DevOps and mostly found recruiters terrible. After years of brainstorming and iteration, I've come up with a product that I think could start to really disrupt the industry. I'm looking for a technical co-founder in/around Philly to help me create and pitch this in the near future.

Interested?

You've come up with a product or you've come up with an idea for a product?

what exactly is wrong with the recruitment industry, and how can it be solved with a technical solution?

I originally tried to build something in this industry. After about 30 customer development interviews of recruiters, I could not find a pattern on what to develop.

Oh...well...I wouldn't be looking for a technical co-founder if I already built the product.
