Landing.jobs

@dan_fennessy ^ this is so awesome - thanks for reaching out & really proud of @bo_irik and @Krisikris1503 :)

@amitsonawane thank you and we love you back :) so much more coming — actually, we just shipped this new blog post regarding some cool new features: http://blog.landing.jobs/what-we... !

@amitsonawane and we love Feedzai! Especially when they helped us launch the first sardine into space this summer! (Yes, we're a little bit mad @ Landing.jobs... see video above)

@paul_s_kemp our vision is to turn the whole recruitment experience into a pleasant and rewarding one instead of just trying to remove the pain out of it.

@jpmgoncalves very cool AMA (Ask Me Anything) you did a while ago Joao, shows that you're one-level up in terms of company transparency :)

@pcbo @jpmgoncalves yup! Our very first! :D http://blog.landing.jobs/ama-wit... (Anyone else up for one?)

@pcbo, @weareredlight is a beautiful garden, not a walled garden. 😄

@kar2905 thanks for the feedback! :) We actually started also on the referral side way back when Landing.jobs was JOBBOX.io but eventually it became more of bottleneck as it was preventing our users from landing their dream job (block on the road) We did use 1st degree connections in the past just to Auto Complete your friends' name and e-mail to make it easier to search for the person you wanted to refer. Nowadays is more of a legacy feature that we'll be killing in the near future given the newly found LinkedIn API restrictions. It is still something we really want to explore more in the future as the power of referrals is undoubtedly very interesting, but only when used properly.

@tiagomoreiras @kar2905 We came to the same conclusions and introduced direct application. LinkedIn is really dialing back on their API - what do you think about their new employee referrals tool?

@kar2905 Sounds really cool, being honest. Looking forward to explore it a bit more and understand how could we target something similar. We truly believe there's potential there, but for a very specific niche of "professional referrers" that could be doing that almost as a career and not as the occasional referrer without second agendas. Regardless of the method, referrals need to contain much more than a name, they need to have profiles associated (both from the candidate and the referrer), they need background checks, factual information, referral contacts. A professional referrer goes all the way to facilitate the work of the hiring manager, they are proto head hunters!

@tiagomoreiras @kar2905 Agreed. Its almost like a good part time gig - like Uber drivers etc

@kar2905 Uber Hiring Manager! Like :) Do your interviews on the go :P (just kidding)

@paulmboyce thanks Paul :) @PopcornMetrics is also making everyone's life easier when it comes down to analytics... :D

@carrozo epic moments, epic moments...
