@pseudovirtual excited for you to share this with the Product Hunt Boston community on the 19th and all the progress you've made since last year!
At Drafted we know that getting a warm introduction to a company can significantly help your chances of getting in the door.
We see that on average only 10% of applicants from career pages move onto the screening stage but 80% of applicants with a connection move onto the screening stage. THAT'S HUGE.
So we built a chrome extension that helps identify connections you have to the company while you browse their careers page so you can apply and then also get an introduction to boost your chances of getting noticed.
Very useful tool for your job search, the best way to get into a company is to have a connection there!
We work with CS students from underrepresented backgrounds get their first engineering jobs in tech and we *always* stress the importance of networks and warm intros — sharing with our community now and looking forward to hearing their success stories 💪🚀
@emiliehsieh diversity is a good point! @pseudovirtual—any design considerations or thinking on how to make it easier to apply as an underrepresented person or hire those people from the employer side? I'm sure lots of Drafted customers ask about this!
@emiliehsieh @kunalslab Our approach to Signal is about helping job seekers get an extra boost no matter their background - even the most underrepresented people in the workforce have some connections, and usually they don't get as much value from their network as they could. As for the employer side, one of the things that *really* helps with diversity is to encourage people (through product) to think beyond just referring the 1-2 close friends they have (Drafted Matches), and to enable employers to get intros from non-employees to broaden the candidate pool diversity (Drafted Communities).
@emiliehsieh thanks so much for sharing! Really looking forward to see how they use it.
This is so awesome! I always tell developers looking for jobs to find an inside connection. Don't just blindly send your resume to the company recruiter. Signal makes it easy to network your way into a company.
A much more personalised approach to applying for jobs 🙌
Looking forward to trialling this.
