How do you plan on making money? My concern would be that you need to be extremely upfront about what data you&#x27;re collecting and if you&#x27;re selling it back to these companies whom the person interviewed with (even if anonymized). This is a <i>very</i> personal exchange between an employee and employer that could have significant impact on employment negotiations. For example, I might not want employer A, knowing that I&#x27;m also interviewing with employer B&#x2F;C&#x2F;D, unless I choose to use it for negotiation. This could be used to target folks into lower paying jobs if they don&#x27;t have prospects, multiple offers, etc.<p>I&#x27;m not trying to be harsh here or blow up your idea. Maybe it&#x27;s a totally free app. I&#x27;m not sure. But, if you are selling user data, you could be inadvertently increasing companies bargaining power through hidden knowledge of what someone is doing too. If a company uses this added data on me, and gets me to take an offer that&#x27;s 30k less per year, and I stay there 4 years, that ends up costing me 120k over 4 years (30k*4y) all for using an interview note taking app.

I swear that I don&#x27;t mean to sound like a jerk, but can someone help me understand what&#x27;s so spectacular about this? I don&#x27;t understand why it got so many upvotes. How is this more than a list view of companies you&#x27;ve applied to? The company can send a decision through the app, but how is that better than them just sending an email? If this app resulted in feedback being given at a higher frequency, I could see the value add, but most companies don&#x27;t give feedback for liability reasons. Legitimately curious why anyone cares about this. What am I missing?

&gt; Interview feedback - Give interview feedback to your interviewer and get feedback back.<p>I&#x27;d be very surprised (and impressed) if any interviewer gives honest feedback on the interview, in writing (via the app), esp. in cases where candidate was rejected &#x2F; didn&#x27;t receive an offer.<p>Cos that would have a discrimination lawsuit written all over it. HR and&#x2F;or Recruiters also never gives candid feedback for the same reason. Because if they do, someone will eventually sue the company for discrimination.<p>Ex: The most common cookie cutter response for rejection based on ageism is &quot;We really loved you, but unfortunate there wasn&#x27;t a cultural fit.&quot;

I just made a spreadsheet I added to over time to track this type of stuff for myself. It is interesting to see the process in a graph [0]. Would be really interesting to see this data aggregated for industries or specific positions.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;NnzXT6K.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;NnzXT6K.jpg</a>

Has anyone else had a hell of a time finding a job in SF lately? It seems like there is so much competition now I literally can&#x27;t even get an in-person interview. It&#x27;s a total shift from 5 years ago when people were begging you to come in after a quick phone screen. Now it&#x27;s nothing but automated responses with Triplebyte quizzes and getting ghosted.

I’m a developer and also have a recruitment consultancy for engineers. Don’t listen to what everyone says about monetisation, there are literally <i>dozens</i> of ways you can make money from this.<p>Super awesome you’re getting so many upvotes! It seems like a very useful product. I’ll aim to send some more detailed feedback from an industry perspective separately.<p>Again - really nice work!

I have been doing this recently with AirTable using a template I got via twitter thread: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;kwuchu&#x2F;status&#x2F;1032007263026864128" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;kwuchu&#x2F;status&#x2F;1032007263026864128</a><p>I&#x27;ve found it helps me keep much better track and stay on top of where everything is with recruiters.

Great idea! I guess you are open to input if you post here:<p>1) afterInterview is a bit of an ugly name. Maybe shorten it to afterview?<p>2) How do you intend to monetize? I can only think of what u&#x2F;WestCoastJustin said: data. But then you&#x27;d need to be more open about that in these days I think, people are more suspicions, especially the one who are first-movers.<p>2a) if not data, make users pay for your services. Maybe on a monthly basis - but you would need to implement that right away, bc later it&#x27;ll be hard.<p>0) Good luck!

All my job searches have been fairly intensive, switching between a notes file of some kind or a spreadsheet-alike and dozens of browser tabs (job req pages for companies I&#x27;m interested in, tabs of research on each company, etc).<p>Conversely, whenever I&#x27;m trying to get real work done on my phone I feel like I&#x27;m looking at and using the internet through a drinking straw. The interface just doesn&#x27;t have enough bandwidth.<p>However, maybe there&#x27;s a crop of people who don&#x27;t feel this way and actually prefer phone apps? I&#x27;m definitely not going to tell these folks they&#x27;re &quot;doing it wrong&quot;, but they&#x27;re ignoring at least some segment of the market if they only have a phone app.

I believe the big challenge for any job seeker is to get the interview in the first place. I&#x27;d love to see an app that could provide me with insights about my resume, and how it stands against the type of job I&#x27;m looking for.

This is super-compelling.... if you can add a lightweight ATS on the other side.<p>It is very hard for recruiters to remember all the people that they have interviewed. But if you give them that functionality, you have the potential to kill all the ATS out there by going from the interviewee side of things.<p>Kind of like Github for interviews!

I&#x27;ve been noodling on this product idea for about 6 months now, but never gotten around to building it. Drat, but congrats on doing it.<p>One killer feature I would propose is to help candidates weigh up multiple offers; salary, equity, commute time, enjoyment, advancement, etc.

Wondering what companies from FANG give feedback. I am specifically not allowed to give any for HR reasons. There are situations where it can be very frustrating but it&#x27;s what it is.

Great idea. I am jealous. I thought of this exact same thing. The issue is: how to make money? It is difficult to charge the broke job seeker [ironically, it wont be the guy flush with offers using this app - it will be the guy struggling]. On the other hand, it is difficult to charge the recruiters unless you have the linkedin type volume. Even if you do, recruiters wont like the quality since these interviewees are struggling so hard they need an app to track failed interviews.

The app looks nice but I hate doing any kind of data entry on an app.<p>You might consider making a web based version, then it could be accessed on desktop as well.
ultrasounder超过 6 年前
Wait.How does one give feedback to the interviewer? Thought even as the interviewee, getting post interview feedback is not your prerogative. Am I missing something here. Also someone posted this a while back essentially for the same purpose of tracking various interviews and feedbacks<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobhound.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobhound.io</a>

Honest feedback: I don&#x27;t see how this succeeds without integration with existing applicant workflows. The cognitive overhead of another app to store data, manually update status etc is high.<p>If e.g. Monster or Indeed launched this as a value-add to existing functionality it would be big, but i&#x27;m not going to make the effort you&#x27;re asking for in isolation.

Any plans on adding an ability to import job applications? I would love to switch to your product but unfortunately I already have a Google Sheets document with about 60+ applied companies and 50 rejected. If there were a way for me to at least import the company names that would make it easier to switch.

Getting an interview is the biggest hurdle. I can usually count the number of interviews with my fingers, at least from the companies I&#x27;d want to work for - that is, it&#x27;s usually under 5, most often 2-3, sometimes just 1.<p>Definitely don&#x27;t need another login&#x2F;app to manage them.

Interesting idea!<p>I&#x27;m also curious about the business model here. It seems like if you were to aggregate a certain set of metrics and then have each use rate each company for a given position, you could put together some sort of metric which might be useful a) to the companies that are doing the interviewing and&#x2F;or b) to other folks that are applying for the same position.<p>Curious to see where you go with this...

I find this to be a rather strange idea.<p>If I want feedback on my interview then I simply contact the interviewer and ask for feedback.<p>When interviewing with many places simultaneously the only differentiator that has determined job acceptance is the speed with which an offer letter was presented after the interview and the employer benefits.

Some feedback: - you should use a link in your confirmation email; nobody wants to copy&#x2F;paste a confirmation code from an email. - why do I have to give my first and last name just to list my interviews? - location would be helpful. I’m in France; I don’t really care about the response rate of US companies

Dude,<p>1) how do I delete my account? Pretty sure GDPR won&#x27;t like not having a button for it.<p>2) you should probably test the UI a bit more with different settings. The top buttons, on my iphone 6s with bold text enabled, don&#x27;t fit on one line.
