Love the look and feel of the site - and the jobs I'm seeing are pretty relevant! Just curious, what's different from other career sites like Hired?

Thanks, @mbarbin! Glad to hear you like the look and feel of UpScored! To answer your question, we think Hired is a fantastic platform. They've shown that in a space dominated by larger incumbents like LinkedIn, smaller players can make a big impact. That said, we're different from them in a few ways: (1) we don't require you to fill out a lengthy profile - sign-up takes less than 2 minutes; (2) we show results immediately so you can start interacting with the platform right away; and (3) we use adaptive intelligence to learn your career interests so results are personalized. We were able to build UpScored this way by first starting with a foundation based on data science, which is different from other career sites out there.

Hi Product Hunters, I’m excited to share UpScored with you! I'm Elise, our CEO/Co-Founder. Dan, Robert, and I are passionate believers that making a career move shouldn’t be a painful process. We believe that better technology can open up new possibilities for people… and that anyone who wants to discover new career opportunities should have a direct, personalized path to do so. That’s why we’re announcing the launch of UpScored on Product Hunt today. We’ve built a career platform that uses data science to connect you with your best-suited job opportunities while automatically learning your career interests. We’re looking forward to your feedback and questions about UpScored. Our mission is to make sure qualified candidates are no longer lost in the noise. We’re working hard to continue making the platform better, so any new ideas and thoughts would be awesome! Thanks, Elise

Here's a suggestion: I use your site for looking for jobs for myself and friends. My suggestion is the ability to create separate profiles within one account. That way I don't get matched for jobs that are really a match for friends. Also, this could be used for people like myself who do more than one thing well. They could set up separate profiles for each of their desired professions.

How are you using data science to better match?

Hey @haslettp, thanks for the question! The inherent problem with current talent marketplaces is that they match based on simple keywords and basic filtering. This leads to poor matching – particularly for ambiguous titles such as project manager. Both companies and candidates have to spend hours searching through irrelevant prospects. Our algorithms dig much deeper into your skills, work experience, and education to curate personalized job recommendations. First, our platform formulates a graded score that reflects the fit of your resume against a company’s job description. Second, the technology learns from your career interests in real-time via a Spotify-like feature by which you can like/dislike jobs. We trained our algorithms on over 700k resumes and millions of career moves – and we're applying natural language processing and machine learning to clear up the noise. Our focus is to use data science to make the matching more personalized and efficient (for both sides).

Very interesting idea. Are the "exclusive interviews" NY-only?

Hey @leftynaut, Thanks for the question! Yes, right now, our companies are namely in the NY-area. We're expanding by region to ensure that the quality of companies on the platform remains high. Next up is Boston and SF. I see you're in LA -- we can certainly let you know when we're ready to launch more broadly in CA. In the interim, I want to note that many of the NY-based companies on UpScored are willing to give relocation packages. Appreciate the question!
