Recruiting is brokered enterprise sales. Realty for human resources. And, like realty, recruiting is 80% shit, 15% good people, 5% crooks.
And, like realty, ripe for disruption in niche markets (like IT). As a buyer, Triplebyte should have gotten me:
1. Access to a larger pool of applications through their network.
2. Better matching between needs/skills through expertise.
3. Higher trust in applicants without initial screening.
As a seller, Triplebyte should have gotten me:
1. An apply once, interview anywhere system.
2. Much higher trust in the interview process.
3. A higher initial starting salary through expertise.
It seems like Triplebyte was too hot for fast growth. Had they decided to grow more slowly (probably with less or limited VC), they likely could have established the expertise necessary to fulfill on some of the requirements for providing the kind of value they needed to offer to become relevant in the industry.
Well, that's essentially what I'm trying to do with Otherbranch (specifically, 2 and 3 of your "buyer" points and 2 and some of 1 and 3 of your "seller" points).
