Rooftop Slushie 2.0 - Get employee referrals to tech companies

Hey makers! Today we’re launching the official Rooftop Slushie version 2.0 after releasing a feature our customers wanted the most. 🧨 Problem We hope to fix today’s tech screening process. For large companies such as Google, recruiters may not be technical and evaluate candidates based on keywords and prestigious labels in a resume. This leaves out many qualified candidates. 💪 Solution We already have a community of tech employees on our platform giving career advice. Why not leverage those users to screen a resume and offer a referral if the candidate is a good fit? PMs recognize good PMs. Software engineers recognize good software engineers! ps. This was definitely interesting from a product sense, because we never intended to have a 'referral' feature from the start. Version 1.0 was all about having credible sources (verified tech employees) give advice on interview prep, resume and offer evaluation. But at one point, users started to ask for referrals in our 'Miscellaneous' category. They were using our product to solve problems other than what we’d planned for.

Looks awesome - greatness!

Love the design. Love the name. Great idea - wish you luck :)

@seungjun_jun_lee Great to see you guys here! Best of luck with the launch!

Great landing page design. You guys are hitting on a need in the recruitment process. Can’t wait to see how this grows Congrats on the launch 🚀

@m_serrano The core idea here is to give an equal opportunity to people who don’t have a strong professional network. Most of the hires in large tech companies happen through referrals, so unless you know someone in these companies, your chances of working there are limited. We hope to connect people who wouldn’t have been able to connect (depending on where you’re born, school etc.) in a convenient way. As referrers have their own reputation, it’s unlikely they’d refer anyone on our website for a small sum. They are pretty much doing this out of good will, and the payment is to compensate for the reviewer’s time. Please do note that referrals do not guarantee a job - while we can gladly help job candidates get past the initial screen, it really depends on how canddiates fare during their interviews! :)

uhhhh @abdella6if lol
