New tool for job seekers’ greenhouses borrow tricks from dating apps
Job seekers are lost in floods of applications AI transcends employmenttherefore, the platform’s employment Greenhouse is experimenting with new tools for job seekers borrowing from an unlikely source: dating apps.
Dating platforms like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge can give users a limited number of “super rings”, “super swipes”, or “roses” to potential love interests. These will automatically bump into the top of the recipient’s feed, and you’re more likely to see the sender’s profile.
Greenhouse functions work in a similar way. Users can designate one application per month to the company as “dream job.” Greenhouse has made its applications stand out from the recruiting teams of employers. This feature allows candidates to fill out their profiles in a more complete way than users who are not using the feature.
“It’s really our attempt to make job seekers themselves part of the solution by having job seekers themselves put more energy, more intent in searches,” says John Stross, president and co-founder of Greenhouse. luck. “In exchange, employers can focus on candidates who want their position the most.”
Over 1,200 companies on Greenhouse’s platform have signed up to date to use features such as Everlane, Flexport, and Guild. And about 7,000 candidates use it, the company says. People who used the “Dream Work” feature average 20. According to the company, they have acquired a new role within 20.5 days. This feature is free to use.
It’s only time to see how the “dream work” in the greenhouse pans out. But this is a great example of how very different hiring situations are forcing businesses to rethink how they do business. And as the job market becomes increasingly unmanageable, other organizations may be looking for new ways to sift through the flood of resumes.
