We have started Weekday Hiring Club where we are trying to make hiring easier for startups by unlocking a new supply of passive engineers who are not actively looking for jobs but are vouched by their friends. We came up with this idea while hiring for our last startup. When we asked our friends for referrals, they couldn't remember who to refer. We then started asking them to do 10-min screenshare Zoom calls with us wherein they would scroll through their LinkedIn connections and recommend the ones they enjoyed the most working with. This increased our pipeline of candidates by 3x. We are productizing that approach with this product. Now anyone can recommend the best engineers in their network to directly connect with founders of top startups.
I absolutely love the fact that you productize this small hack. Keep up the good work
Hello, I made a few UI /X Feedback for your product :) too bad I don't know any top engineers, but awesome product!

Thanks a lot. Incorporating your idea of CTA button at bottom today.
this is great design feedback, I added one to the list on usebubbles.com.
I had the opportunity to beta test this product -- within seconds I had synced my LinkedIn and was vouching for high-performing colleagues. Congrats on the launch !
Kudos, this takes so much friction out of making job referrals! Small request - could you limit the chrome extension to only access my activity on Linkedin? I can adjust it locally but extensions requesting global access just tickle the spidey sense :)

Thanks Ishan. Agree with you. Will update this permission in a few days.
Ok. Interesting that you’re communicating your product is described with the “no recruiters” tag line. You’re just turning engineers into recruiters and no legit engineer is going to want to sell their contacts. Because if they do, that contact is going to get targeted for a job they didn’t ask for and probably don’t even want. That will create negative blow back for their digital or real world relationship. Would love for you to prove me wrong. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. 1. While this is a more open-ended launch, we usually give the specific details of the job opening to the engineers. Hence the engineer only recommends those they think are a great fit for the given jobs. 2. The default is that their recommendation is anonymous. Hence no blowback to real-world relationships.
Thank you 🙏 Be cautious as your model could very well be in violation of GDPR.

Thank you for the feedback :) Sure, we are cautious about it :D We explicitly operate in India and USA and the extension is not listed on webstore in any EU country. Any identifiable information consent is declared on the webstore as well. :D
Congratulations . Great concept, looking forward to using it more at Rephrase.ai :)
Heads up mobile website is very hard to use btw

Thanks David. Yes, we plan to fix that in the coming days. Current usage is more desktop specific.
