The HR industry is broken. That's why we have so much competition in the HR vertical online, yet the basic problems are still not solved. We all have our horror stories - there are many and of many different shades, shapes and sizes. People submitting themselves to psychometric exorcizes which analyze their personality and then tell them they're not worthy. Meetings with recruiters who do nothing more but pattern matching between a CV or resume and a job description. Candidates repetitiously keying in personal and professional background information each time they apply for a job at a different corporate website. The same information over and over. Recruiters paying large sums of money to job boards to post their jobs -- only to receive hundreds or even thousands of applications from the wrong kind of people. Money spent for no value. Poor data exchange. Middlemen. Pain.
How do we fix it? We create a Liquid HR economy. Where if there is an opening - a job available - it's filled immediately with a good qualified candidate. Like the financial markets - where we have standardized information flowing around in a liquid economy. And it goes beyond that. More than just jobs and CVs – it’s people learning about companies, and companies learning about company, in order to make the best matches.
There are three components of this economy: liquidity of information, bi-directional flow of information, and standardization of information. There are three roles one can play in this economy: information conduit, information source, and information matcher.
The stars are aligning, and the Liquid HR economy is beginning to happen. Job information is starting to flow, and we're seeing the dawn of liquid candidate information. Information about companies is starting to flow as well. I've got my own project to bring the elements together and add my own chunk of value to the equation as an information source and a matcher. We're solving the problem. Let me know if you're interested in learning more.
