In today’s high-tech and high-paced world, almost every industry is being upgraded due mostly to accessibility through modern web apps and mobile applications. The recruitment industry has yet to see that upgrade. That’s where eloPitch comes in, Our goal is to create a mobile application that allows job seekers to offer a 60-second “elevator” pitch about themselves which can be viewed directly by recruiters. Each video will have metadata (tags) associated with it to allow it to appear in the correct category and search result when searched for by recruiters.
The idea is to cut down on the back and forth time between a recruiter and a job seeker before a first interview. The job seekers have an opportunity to showcase who they are, their personality, their professional image, and communication skills. On the other hand, this video serves as a “pre-interview” and allows the recruiter to gauge if this person will be a good fit for the position based on a variety of characteristics.
