Detailed description
Prroblem:
The Tech Recruiters’ Dilemma:
Evaluating whether or not a candidate is the right fit for a company has been difficult to prove through the traditional interviewing process.
Scouting new talent is inefficient due to an abundance of platforms and the overload of resumes without an easy way to filter through each candidate
Increasing distrust of resume is resulting from difficulty finding qualified candidates that live up to the qualifications listed on their resumes
The Developers’ Dilemma:
Finding a job with little or no work experience can be very difficult, even for highly skilled compared to experienced candidates.
Many jobs are never posted online and require extensive networking in order to even be considered for the position.
No easy way to find small projects and tasks to build up their portfolios during the job search process
There is a gap between enterprises and developers:
The number of hackers and developers is increasing rapidly in Africa, as well as the amount of open source projects plus an increased number of online teaching platforms. However, enterprises and Web3 projects rely on traditional recruiting methods that fail to identify top talent in solving their technological challenges. This is in large part due to the lack of a location or platform that serves as a bridge between these disparate groups.
Enterprise have a difficult time capturing a pool of high-quality talent.
Enterprises across the Africa region need to adopt frontier technologies to improve efficiency, lower costs, and outperform their competitors. These technologies are used to solve issues regarding manufacturing, security, finance, agriculture, and real estate. Web3 Tech talent with top expertise is needed in the Africa region and globally but are usually mismatched and hard to identify. Advanced technical talent is not conveyed well through a traditional resume.
Enterprises have successfully been able to aggregate creative and tech-savvy talents by sponsoring in-person hackathons in one specific geographical location. Prizes are generally awarded to the best solutions created and enterprises have the opportunity to offer employment to top talent that they’ve witnessed first-hand. It is time to take this model to the next level.
