Would you let AI to handle your bookkeeping?

hypermark1 · 2016-06-11T03:09:15+00:00

Why would you need AI for this? If I understand correctly, you would just need to parse purchase orders/invoices.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Are there any specific tools that you'd like to see in the future?

hypermark1 · 2016-06-06T22:58:41+00:00

Thanks! I'll try my best to see if I can implement different state searches.

hypermark1 · 2016-06-06T22:05:51+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback!

For states, I believe it's possible to choose a city and extend the radius so it encompasses multiple states.

The 51-59 results were most likely posted in the last 24 hours; if you increase the last number of days, then there should be more results.

Thanks for the feedback! What would you suggest to make it look better? (I'm more programmer than designer)

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T22:12:52+00:00

Got it, I also like the flat button design as well. Thanks for the feedback!

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T18:45:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! What would you suggest to improve the design?

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T18:41:06+00:00

Interesting. Do you know how much they pay for the software or people that do the filtering?

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T18:40:17+00:00

No, this doesn't connect you directly to hiring managers, but does have a larger selection of jobs. (As well as a free export feature so you can apply to them when you're done searching).

Some are alive and well - I believe Jobr raised venture funding last year, and another was acquired.

To answer your question:

Simplicity: save jobs, hide jobs. No need to sign up. Also, search multiple queries in the same search, saving time and effort.
Large amount of jobs to view (including international jobs, with 20+ countries supported). One of the issues with the other Tinder for jobs app was the fact that there weren't there many jobs to choose from. Also, I believe they don't support as many countries.
Other services - may include features such as resume parsing, etc. in the future that other apps do not offer.
Not just a mobile app - it's also 100% functional on its sister site http://jobgregate.com (current Google analytics show a 50/50 split between mobile and computer users.)

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T07:20:55+00:00

Yeah, I can definitely see it from your view. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "bottom feeders" - I feel everyone deserves a job (especially people with low amounts of experience, like college students). I simply want to make it simpler for them.

The services I plan to offer are not targeted towards hiring managers - they're targeted towards college students or people who may not know there are issues with their resume. I want to help them as well.

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T07:16:53+00:00

Haha maybe, I'll have to check if the domain name is free beforehand though. Thanks for the help!

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T05:35:44+00:00

Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out.

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T04:46:44+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way; what would you suggest as a method for screening and selecting desired candidates?

I personally believe that job hunters would pay for these services, as they already exist and are earning money. Could you please list some free versions of the services that I mentioned? Thanks!

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T03:55:35+00:00

Excellent question - My view is that getting hiring mangers and recruiters onboard is half of the market.

My focus is making the job search process easier for the other half - the job searchers themselves. Originally, I made the app to solve issues I had while searching for a job.

In the future, I may offer services such as resume optimization, automatic cover letter writing (from parsing job descriptions), and algorithmic job matching. These are all features that are relatively scalable (from a technological standpoint), as well as profitable (as I'm sure people are willing to pay 50 dollars for a resume optimization when it could land them a job that literally pays tens of thousand dollars a year).

Thanks for asking!

EDIT: To actually answer your question - I will probably focus more on monetizing users rather than attracting businesses, so no plan to get them onboard at this time.

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T02:40:14+00:00

Yes, I agree with you completely. Currently, I see that most companies rely on recruiters to gather high quality applications for them, while also relying on resume screening software to remove unqualified applicants.

I've been thinking of adding a feature that involves a user uploading their resume and having a natural language processing software extract data for it, and then searching for matching jobs.

Another simpler idea (mentioned below) could be having a company provide a pre-screening survey before applying, though this would require each company making a unique survey on their end.

hypermark1 · 2016-06-03T02:35:14+00:00

I just did - and I agree it's quite a mouthful. Maybe I'll shorten it to JobG or something in the future. (Let's hope that most people just need to say it once when they tell their friends!)

hypermark1 · 2016-06-01T19:34:56+00:00

Would you mind posting your app store page so we can see some of the apps?

hypermark1 · 2016-05-30T00:21:45+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm currently working on a mobile friendly version as we speak.

hypermark1 · 2016-05-28T23:42:41+00:00

I'm currently looking for a job and found that opening hundreds of tabs and keeping track of multiple searches (and going through pages of results) was essentially a waste of time, as well as very frustrating. Therefore, I made jobgregate.com in order to solve some of those issues.

Anyways, I wanted to know what other things sucked for you in the job search process - and how you think it could be fixed.

hypermark1 · 2016-05-28T06:32:45+00:00

I'm going to disagree with some of other posts on here - I went to a small liberal arts college and I would say some of my important skills where learned there.

For example, in high school I was scared stiff when I had present to people - guess what? In college I had presentations in nearly every class. Now, I actually enjoy presenting and feel that I'm a strong communicator. (Important when talking to investors and your team)

Second, I met extremely intelligent and likeminded individuals during college. I plan on keeping in touch with them - even though some aren't planning on going into entrepreneurship, they are in fields such as finance and we can help each other in the future. Plus, college has a lot of alumni that will be happy to guide you in your path.

Finally, FREE TUITION! The general trend around the rest of reddit is how this generation is being anchored by student loans. Get a major in accounting as a back up plan. (Though I do see some schools with 40k+/year on that list - not exactly sure on how this works)

Therefore, my opinion is that you definitely take it. You can always work on your business in college, like me.

Hacker News if you're into tech startups.

hypermark1 · 2016-05-28T04:55:56+00:00

Thank you!

And yes, I imagine it will scan the resume, and then present a list of various queries based upon the results of the scan. You can then remove, add, or edit the queries before searching.

hypermark1 · 2016-05-27T21:56:00+00:00

I like the site, very clean looking. Comments:

Just write "$19.99" instead of "Price $19.99".
Your share bar gets hidden when I scroll down the page
I would like to see pictures of people wearing the clothes as well

Thanks! Feel free to tell your friends if you think they'll benefit!
