Inside the Innovative World of Hackajob
In this episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast, we welcome Mark Chaffey, the cofounder and CEO of hackajob, a UK-based platform that transforms the hiring process. Unlike traditional job applications, at Hackajob, employers apply to candidates.
Candidates simply wait as employers describe their roles and the AI matches them with potential hires. The interview requests come from employers, allowing candidates to choose whether to accept or decline. Payment occurs only when candidates agree to an interview.
The Role of Friction in Hiring
Our cohosts, Peter M. Zollman from AIM Group and Steven Rothberg from College Recruiter, engage Mark in a discussion about the friction in hiring processes. Cory Kapner from Recruitics argues that some friction can be beneficial, suggesting that charging candidates a small fee to apply for jobs, as Alexander Chukovski of crypto-careers.com mentioned, could have merit, albeit with potential drawbacks.
