After reading a lot of discussions from recruiters and HR professionals, one thing keeps coming up:

Most teams already use AI for things like drafting emails, summarizing interviews, writing job descriptions, and documentation.

But very few seem comfortable letting AI actually decide who gets hired.

So I'm curious: what's the one repetitive recruiting task you wish AI handled completely, so you could spend more time with candidates?

I'd love to hear what's still the biggest time sink in your day.

I'm curious how recruiters spend their day.

Between sourcing, interviewing, candidate communication, scheduling, updating the ATS, follow-ups, and other admin tasks, what percentage of your day is actually spent recruiting versus managing everything around the process?

If you could eliminate one admin task tomorrow, what would it be?

I was chatting with a recruiter recently, and they mentioned they still keep WhatsApp, email, spreadsheets, and notes open alongside their ATS.

It made me wonder—is that pretty common?

If you already use an ATS, what do you still rely on outside of it?

• Email
• WhatsApp
• Excel
• Sticky notes
• Something else?

What keeps you switching between different tools during the day?

I’m curious to hear from people running recruitment agencies.

Recruitment looks simple from outside, but there seem to be many moving parts:

• finding candidates
• managing client requirements
• keeping candidate information updated
• following up with candidates
• coordinating interviews and feedback

For agency owners/recruiters:

What part of the daily process creates the most headache?

Is it:

• sourcing good candidates?
• managing candidate follow-ups?
• keeping track of conversations?
• getting feedback from clients?
• something else?

Would love to hear what actually takes the most time in your day-to-day work.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to understand how businesses in India actually handle government / PSU tenders in real life.

From outside, the process looks very structured, but I’m curious about the practical challenges businesses face.

For people who have participated in tenders:

• How do you usually find tenders relevant to your business?
• How do you decide whether a tender is worth spending time on?
• What part takes the most effort — finding opportunities, checking eligibility, preparing documents, pricing, or submission?
• Do you manage everything manually (Excel, folders, reminders) or use any tools/software?
• Have you ever missed an opportunity because of missing information, documents, or deadlines?

Not selling anything — just trying to understand the real workflow and challenges businesses face before building anything.

Even small experiences would be helpful.

Thanks

Hey,

I’ve been trying to understand how companies in India actually deal with government / PSU tenders.

Online it all looks very structured, but I feel like the real process must be a lot more messy in practice.

If anyone here has worked with tenders (even indirectly or through someone else), I’d really appreciate your insights:

• how do you usually find and track tenders?
• what part of the process usually feels the most time-consuming or frustrating?
• how are documents and eligibility requirements handled in real life?
• is it mostly Excel/manual work or do people use any tools?
• have you ever lost a tender because something was missing or last minute issues happened?

Just trying to understand how it actually works on the ground before thinking further about anything.

Even small experiences would really help.

Thanks 🙏

I’ve been exploring ways to identify local businesses that are likely to convert for services like SEO, websites, and digital marketing.

Right now most approaches seem to rely on:

• Manual Google Maps research
• Scraping directories
• Basic filters like ratings, reviews, and website presence

But it still feels very manual and inconsistent.

Curious:

• Has anyone built a scalable system for this?
• What signals actually correlate with conversion?
• Is this still mostly manual in practice?

Trying to understand if there’s a real gap here or if I’m overthinking it.

I’m probably going to get disagreement for this, but I want honest opinions from freelancers and agency owners.

I built a tool called LeadPulse that scans Google Maps and identifies local businesses with missed digital opportunities.

And I’m starting to think something most people do manually is completely inefficient.

Hear me out.

Most freelancers I’ve spoken to still:

• Spend hours manually scraping Google Maps
• Check businesses one by one
• Guess who might actually convert
• Maintain messy spreadsheets for outreach

So I built LeadPulse to automate this.

It finds local businesses with:

• No website
• No Instagram / weak digital presence
• Strong reviews but poor online visibility
• Available contact information for outreach

Then it:

• Scores leads based on opportunity
• Generates outreach messages
• Helps export and organize leads

Example:
A 4.8★ dental clinic with no website gets flagged as a high-value client opportunity automatically.

What I’m trying to understand (honestly):

Is manual lead scraping still actually better than this?

Or are people just sticking to it because it’s familiar?

From my tests (~300 leads), it feels like most manual research could be automated.

Current MVP:

• Google Maps business discovery
• Opportunity scoring system
• AI-generated outreach messages
• WhatsApp / Maps actions
• Lead export

I’m not trying to sell anything right now.

I just want brutally honest feedback from people who actually do this daily:

Would you trust a system like this to find your clients?

Or would you still prefer doing it manually?

Be honest — even if you think it’s useless.

I've been experimenting with a project called LeadPulse.

The idea is simple:

It scans local businesses and identifies potential opportunities such as:

Missing website

No Instagram presence

Strong reviews but weak online visibility

Available contact information for outreach

It then assigns a score and generates personalized outreach suggestions.

Example:

A dental clinic with 4.8★ reviews but no website gets flagged as a high-priority lead for web design and local SEO services.

Current MVP:

✅ Business discovery

✅ Opportunity scoring

✅ AI-generated outreach messages

✅ WhatsApp / Maps actions

✅ Lead export

I currently have around 300 leads generated during testing.

My question:

If you're a freelancer, agency owner, or local SEO consultant:

Would this actually save you time compared to your current lead generation process?

What would make it useful enough for you to pay for? ( Looking for freelancers/agencies who come initially with free access )

Looking for brutally honest feedback.
