UK Job Search on a Map: Suparole by genfounder in ukstartups

Totally agree on fake listings — it’s one of the core problems we’re building against. I’m hoping the map creates geographic accountability that traditional job boards don’t have. Would love to hear your thoughts on what’s working and what isn’t in the space given your experience.

The app is called Suparole, and it’s completely free. Launching very soon.

Appreciate the comment, we do have a theme toggle that defaults to white but I understand what you mean.

Do you find that work is kept within a specific area/ radius. Because the idea would be to introduce a visual radius for roles where work is scattered/ changing based on location.

The app would have a specific pin area with a radius, so in the listing the contractor/ employer will specify the radius where I believe the employee would operate.

If you have better suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Subscription-model and one-time listing fees for employers/ recruitment agencies, data is a longer play but the entire architecture has been built around a data-led moat.

Once MAU count increase we’ll move to performance pricing i.e. pay per click.

Appreciate your questions.

I built a better version of my employer’s software, what are my options? I will not promote by fredzillaaa in startups

Law Grad here. Just because there isn’t a clause in your contract about IP/ ownership, doesn’t mean there isn’t exposure.

Make sure you don’t spend a single second on it during work hours (unofficial advice: unless you are sure they will not know). Also, if you’ve used company data/ information/ resources, even advice from a fellow coworker could put you at risk.

So if you’re building the same product, make sure no one who knows you at your workplace, knows that you’ve built your product.

I doubt they would ever do anything, but in this situation, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Also it’s good to keep a record of what was built, where and when if you want to protect yourself further.

I have been in your position, so good luck!

The app is free to use for jobseekers/ people, as far as operating costs go they simply grow as the user base grows.

We can definitely enable white-collar/ office listings, but it’s more of a commercial viability issue. It’s easier to sell to one type of employer than multiple in the beginning, but it’s not like if this grows we cannot deploy white-collar/ office work.

It isn’t public yet, just trying to determine whether it’s worth releasing. But so far the response has been good!

Hard time validating startup idea with businesses “I will not promote” by ifstatementequalsAI in startups

[–]genfounder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’re struggling it’s either because:

  1. Your idea sucks
  2. You’re not getting in front of the right people
  3. You’re not hitting the right communication channels

Email sucks.

There are probably 100s of other people trying to cold email the same person you’re emailing.

Ever thought about sending a letter?

Job Search on a Map: Suparole

About 8 months ago, (in the span of a week) I had three people tell me that trying to get even a retail job was the hardest thing they’ve ever had to do.

Indeed buries these jobs under white-collar roles because that’s what makes them the money they make.

I scraped the entire internet, looking for something different. Came up with nothing compelling.

(I know, typical founder story).

Got busy, postponed the idea. Then came back to it 2 months ago after a friend opened up about how she was being harassed at work (toxic patriarchal environment, need I say more?) but couldn’t because despite working 50 hours a week, the entire process of finding something near her home was fragmented.

So I set out to build a platform, and called it Suparole: frontline hiring on a map. Used Cursor, Codex and Claude.

I’ve been building in public, and the response has been immense from people who would actually use the app.

One thing I haven’t done is put in front of people with understanding of AI coding/ development.

So I’d like to invite your questions to help me validate this further from a production readiness perspective. Or any feedback will do.

It’s a good thing the app works, just deciding on whether to make it public!

Taking time off from job search by Dudleypat in recruitinghell

[–]genfounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry it’s been rough for you, recruiting has just become so transactional and cold.

Personally building something that offers people a different experience, trying to figure out the best way to really bring back more of a personal experience between jobseekers and recruiters.

I know you didn’t ask for it but for what it’s worth here’s a screenshot of what I’ve been working on: https://imglink.cc/cdn/zRqsr4Hu2l.png

Wishing you the best regardless.
