The online recruitment industry in China has traditionally suffered from two pain points: job seekers find it difficult to locate suitable job positions, and employers find it hard to secure suitable job candidates. Job seekers and employers keep walking past each other in the dark, yearning for a new platform that can deliver unprecedented efficiency.

We believe three common characteristics of traditional industry players caused such pain points.

First, limited functionality beyond submission and downloading of resumes. Information flows one way—from job seekers to employers, via a few pages of stylized introductions, often receiving tardy responses, if any.

Second, a search-based model that unevenly drives internet traffic towards the top—favoring candidates with stellar credentials and well-known corporations with deep pockets, leaving behind the vast majority of average job seekers and SMEs with tremendous unmet demand.

Third, an inability to attract Bosses at scale, relying instead only on recruitment professionals. This resulted from the inefficiencies stemming from the two abovementioned common characteristics. Bosses, including executives, middle-level managers of large enterprises and SMEs, as well as micro business owners, are the only people who truly understand what attributes define the best candidates for a particular job position. This fact is accentuated by the paradigm shift in the Chinese economy towards the next stage of advanced development, and the urgency for businesses to attract a more specialized workforce that can cope with intensified competition.
