Hey Product Hunt, we're super pumped to have been posted here today! I am one of the co-founders of Stonius and we think we're working on something pretty special.
What is Stonius? Simply put, as Andrew put it, our job is to connect cannabis employers with employees. So the next question on your mind is probably - why is that so special? Well, Stonius does a few differently.
We put a ton of effort into making sure the UX flowed well. It shouldn't take 10 screens to do something. An application should be a single page, things like that. Buttons, layout, and colors should flow well... And, just cause it's cannabis, doesn't mean it has to be green!! Stonius also focuses on anonymity. The cannabis world is still coming into it's own. Not everything needs to be made public at the get go: For example, you don't want your competitors to know you're hiring. As we worked with actual cannabusiness owners, we found this was a highly requested feature.
That's all fine and dandy, but the real bread and butter is our matching algorithm. No longer does an employer have to focus solely on just the resume, which doesn't give the whole picture. Maybe you're a plumber, but grow your own plants and are an expert at it... So we allow every single job posted to be fully customized. The employer can ask specific questions that are relevant to them. Care about sales experience? Ask it. Care about someone's ability to know the difference between strains? Perfect, ask away. We take all of these inputs to help employers understand the person applying to the job more holistically. Then, if you like them, reach out to them using our anonymous email system.
That's Stonius in a nutshell! Feel free to hit us up!
