β‘ 3 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt
byβ’
Hey Product Hunt π
1. Real working conditions can't be verified before taking a job β reviews lie. Need a service for direct contact with former employees. Willing to pay: Β£50β100 when I successfully get hired.
2. A gambling addict hasnβt been able to quit online casinos for years. All known methods have failed. He has three hypotheses for solving his own problem. Willing to pay $15β30/month.
3. A designer needs an AI agent to eliminate the manual drudgery of adapting designs for mobile/tablet. Willing to pay β¬20β30 per project.
Boris and Victoria,

The middle one is pretty serious, but I like the first one more (it is close to me) βΒ I used to review employees from GlassDoor reviews tho for this.

@gostroverhovΒ When I was searching for a job, GlassDoor offered quite accur8 angles of view, people were referred to many things (company culture, salary, management, task assignments to get job) β it saved me a lot of time whether I applied or not.

@busmark_w_nikaΒ thank you very much, it's really useful :)
For #1, doing a test when applicable helps. For example, for content editors/writers, I can assign a test piece to gauge their capability from their submission before moving onto the next phase of the interview process.
Since they are on probation upon hiring, the batch of next assignments in their first month will let me know whether they are the ideal candidate for the position.
In this example, I wouldn't need to contact their previous employer as I'm able to see first hand their ability.
To add, many people change jobs while still employed and if they've been at the company for quite a number of years, they wouldn't want you to chat with their active employer. Also, if the prior employer was from too long ago, it wouldn't have relevancy.

As for #2, definitely a market that could use more solutions.
