Revolutionizing the Hiring Process: Introducing Fludder

In today's fast-paced job market, the traditional hiring processes can often be a hindrance rather than a help. Current platforms reduce candidates to mere resumes, leaving many talented individuals overlooked due to a lack of experience or limited professional connections. As the job market evolves, so too must the tools we use to connect employers with potential employees. Enter Fludder, a groundbreaking free candidate app introduced in February 2020, designed to transform how companies and candidates connect.

Why We Introduced Fludder

The inspiration behind Fludder stemmed from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by entry-level candidates and the limitations of conventional hiring platforms. Traditional methods rely heavily on resumes, which often fail to capture the full spectrum of a candidate's abilities, personality, and potential. This resume-centric approach can result in talented individuals being overlooked simply because they lack formal experience or a strong network of professional connections.

As a founder of Fludder, I envisioned a platform that would democratize the hiring process, giving every candidate an equal opportunity to shine. By focusing on video technology and personalized reviews, Fludder aims to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers, providing a more holistic view of each candidate beyond their resume.

How Fludder Works

·?????? Fludder is designed with simplicity and effectiveness in mind. Candidates can create profiles and submit video responses to predefined questions, allowing their personalities, skills, and potential to shine through. This video-centric approach not only makes candidates more memorable but also provides employers with deeper insights into their suitability for the role.

·?????? One of the standout features of Fludder is its free answer reviews. Candidates receive valuable feedback on their video submissions, helping them improve and refine their presentations. This continuous improvement loop ensures that candidates are always putting their best foot forward.

·?????? Moreover, Fludder eliminates the need for traditional job applications. By making candidates instantly discoverable, employers can search for and connect with potential hires directly, saving time and resources. This streamlined process accelerates the hiring timeline, making it faster and easier than ever before to find the right fit.

Competitors and Market Position

Fludder enters a competitive market with established players like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor dominating the scene. These platforms, while comprehensive, often fall short in providing a personal touch and in-depth candidate insights. LinkedIn, for instance, is excellent for networking but relies heavily on traditional resumes and endorsements. Indeed and Glassdoor focus more on job listings and company reviews, respectively, but do not fully address the nuances of candidate assessment.

Fludder sets itself apart by prioritizing candidate visibility and personal interaction. Our video technology allows for a more dynamic and engaging way to present oneself, making it easier for employers to gauge a candidate's fit for their company culture and role requirements.
