This could redefine recruiting! Can employers filter candidates by skills demonstrated in videos, not just keywords?
Openspot
@desmond_ren1 Hey, recruiters can describe their ideal candidate in natural language and we match the candidates based on your whole profile, including videos (transcript) etc

Interesting. Linkedin badly needs a competitor. Would like to get in and look around. Too bad it’s not working in Europe.
Any plans/timeline?

Upload my resume at profile creation, received an error saying this file doesn't contain a resume 🤔
Openspot
@kersten_broich Hey Kersten, yep just saw the error in the logs - seems like our AI did not detect your resume as an actual "resume" ^^
Just adjusted the prompt, so please try again - you can also sign up with your linkedin url to create an account if you want.
Cheers! :)
I feel like the job search on LinkedIn works alright but the networking is nightmarish. Curious to see if you can take the Goliath down. Good luck with the launch!
Unrelated question : What tools did you use to make the GIFs on your landing page?

@soso_dotcom Thanks so much, Sophie! We used Adobe After Effects! ◡̈
@kassidycurrey Thank you! I tried using Canva but the final design was disappointing, I'll try After Effects
