So excited for this launch! This will be so helpful to so many - I was looking for this exact type of comprehensive info a couple months ago. I’d expect this to be helpful beyond the startup stage as well. Looking forward to seeing this take off!

Very cool tool, @kelseycbishop ! needed in this marketspace! as someone who has both hired for startups and joined ongoing startups, this will be something I will use a LOT. everyone is on their best behavior in an interview, but getting a real sense of the people you are looking to work with is tough- and I hope to see tools and scales on the tough-to-quantify stuff, like a scale that runs from "easy to get along with" up to "difficult to work with", and another scale for "how deals with problems, mistakes, errors". Maybe even a scale of "creates stress" up to "removes stress from stressful situations"... Looking forward to this; Kelsey is a product genius, and knows how to build- good luck!!

I love this idea! Working at a start up is an extremely exciting opportunity, but it can sometimes be a little bit nerve wracking entering an environment that you know nothing about. I'm so excited that Candor is going to bring to life the true start up experience - the good, the bad, the culture, in a way that no other platform has before.

Love the product idea, can’t believe I didn’t find out about it sooner. Great practical application in the job market today will definitely be passing the name around to friends and co-workers

I've worked with >100 startups from the early stages to pre-IPO. One of the biggest surprises I have run into is the difference between a companies brand/ability to recruit and their culture. I'm excited to see Candor address that problem by creating honesty and transparency for future employees. As someone who loves FinTech, I immediately thought of the term KYC (know your customer), an ethical requirement a customer must pass to provide them services. I can't help to think Candors is KYC for your next company...Know your company, know your culture..

Congrats on the launch! As a beta tester, I’ve gotten value both from reading reviews on potential coworkers and on receiving professional feedback from my past coworkers. Love the product!

Huge congratulations on launching, @kelseycbishop! As a coach, I'm excited not just for job hunters to have more transparency about the leaders for whom they may work, but for the possibility that Candor can instigate more interpersonal honesty in the workplace in general. It is the nature of blindspots not elude awareness, and leaders' blindspots cause problems. The existence of a product like Candor can inspire leaders to be kind, to become more aware of themselves, and to reconcile with their shadow, as reported by others who may see it more clearly than they. A public review forum that enables a full range of feedback, including negative, is naturally a bit hairy, but the possibility that Candor could shepherd Restorative Justice values into the workplace as part of the whole package is very enticing and very worth supporting.

@josh_lavine Yes! Highlighting blindspots for leaders is going to be hairy, but also incredibly worth while for teams if we can get it right. Thanks so much for your support!
