How valuable are lead pipelines?
Not promoting anything. I have a site where as a side product of the actual value of my site, I have a fairly extensive database of technical people who are looking for roles, and a verifiable skills profile across core skills relevant to the industry I operate in. Based on a job listing combined with the user's proven skills (again, as a side aspect of the user practicing for interviews; no incentive to cheat) I predict "how likely you are to succeed in interviews".
I'm searching for product-market fit. While it wasn't my intention from the start, it seems like where I've ended up is "lead pipeline for technical recruiting/staffing". I have the trifecta of job listings+resumes+verified skills.
Sincere question for the recruitment agency side: Is this actually something some/any recruiting firms pay for? LinkedIn recruiter obviously has the "people looking for work and their resume skills", but I see 2 problems (and tell me if I'm off base):
- Candidates lie on their resume
- Candidates who are flying the "open to work" flag are low quality/saturated
Is there an "alt data" type market that recruiting agencies partner with/source data from to get higher quality pipeline? Any general industry insights would be super helpful! Would love to understand the industry.
