I'm very interested the rise of bounty programs and DAO-powered careers.
Not to sound dismissive at all but is HUMANS simply a job board for web3 projects and roles? Curious if there are plans to be even more differentiated from traditional job boards and freelancing sites.
@rrhoover not sure of the etiquette on sharing this here but I started putting together https://bigweb3board.com/ to track web3 bounties and grants :)
Will upvote HUMANS as well to balance out my karma from sharing that here 🫣
@rrhoover definitely! we are actually building a metaverse (will be launching first version end of august/beginning of September) for candidates to discover web3 projects, socialize with their teams, attend their events and we are working on tokenizing the recommendation that could later be exchanged without even waiting if the candindate gets the job. Also looking to to add educational concepts for users to discover:) Today's Humans is really an mvp for us to get clients and start building a community!
Congrats on the launch, guys!
The project looks promising and really useful for the product and dev community. Everyone loves recommendations :) how do you plan to develop further?
@mituhin thanks! Yeah, we're rapidly developing our closed community of Handhakers on Discord. Plus, we are considering organizing networking events. The most exciting, though, is our Metaverse. It's still in development, but we've already had several team meetings. It was awesome.
gm, Product Hunters 👋
Anton from HUMANS is on the mic here to introduce you to the product and explain why it will work.
First of all, huge thanks to @benln for hunting us. Your interest in our product is priceless, and we are so excited to be here 🤟
My career path has always been linked to HR tech. My team and I have already launched three successful products in the field, and they continue to thrive. As someone fascinated with tech, I always wanted to try and do something in web3. When we started the research phase, we quickly realized how extreme the talent shortage in the industry is. We guessed so initially but had no idea how severe it was.
That's why we decided to answer the talent shortage question with networking. We've done it before 😉
HUMANS team itself is a baby of networking. Sure, we tried to post openings on job boards, but we are no-names (for now), so we got almost no response. Web3, in general, isn’t the most welcoming environment for job-seekers. Companies don’t always know how to describe themselves and what benefits to offer. Job seekers, in turn, are not used to wandering through notion pages and messy job descriptions, so they stop trying. We want to gather the best networkers and guide them through the yet-messy Web3 career jungle.
We followed recruiting agencies' paths and found lots of problems. The biggest one is they rarely know what web3 is and what it requires. They stalk candidates and then offer them completely irrelevant positions. That has to annoy, but pros from our networking platform, whom we call handshakers, know for a fact what you need, because they know the candidates personally.
We attract top web3 employers to post job openings on their branded companies' pages, put a reward for handshakers, and let them scan their network for a perfect fit.
I have a feeling that even here, on PH, everyone knows someone perfect to recommend to an employer. So check out our website, there are already jobs with a $100k+ reward budget, and it can be yours.
What do you think about HUMANS? I'd love to hear your intake 👂
Thanks for your attention, and let's keep in touch.
P.S. and yes we are going to tokenize recommendation in a few months
P.P.S. and yes we are building our own HRtech&Edutech Metaverse for an even greater discovery of careers in Web3😉
@benln@anton_fateev This looks promising!
It's definitely going to come in handy to the dev community. Looking forward to trying it out.
Kudos to the HUMANS team!
There are already a lot of similar job board for web3. What's more, most of those already have good filtering and so. Why creating a new one? Showing referral bonus does not sound like a real benefit.
You have plenty of small projects, but lack the big guys, where people would actually want to work (organic traffic). How do you plan to solve it?
First, congrats on the launch! Gorgeous set up. Next, questions:
1. You use Tether for bounty payouts in crypto — what are the fees here for you as a company? How you charge employers for listings or for the extra services on company pages, is there a commission?
2. The concept with crypto rewards (or could it be just fiat?) for crypto jobs recommendations is appealing. It looks just like a smart contract: if your recommendation flies, in 90 days you get a bounty. But could it go deeper? Recommending friends and peers to companies sounds more like investment, not a trade, so maybe there could be a model where 1% of job applicant salary goes to a friend who recommended him. That way everybody is more interested in a good match with a future.
@niketas Thank you for upvoting!
1. Our commission is 50% from handshaker's reward. And of course, we invite employers to create their own company page with us in order to develop their employer brand. You can read more about this by requesting our presentation here: https://humans.work/employers/pages
2. Of course it could be just fiat, it depends on the company. Thank you for great idea! We will discuss it in our team. And of course we are thinking about tokenyzing recommendation process.
@sergey_ulankin hey Sergey, thanks for the feedback! As we just shipped the MVP, the number of companies will definitely grow in the nearest future. Be sure to check the website and our socials from time to time :)
That was my idea too) I mean to use recommendations to find or recommend good employee.
There are no way to find right people in my company except to get feedback according to previous work.
Great work friends! Happy to use your product and already registered!
yay, finally! been waiting for you guys to launch for a while
a question: how many of you are there in team? how many did you find thru networking?😺 curious to see how much of dog fooders are you guys haha
@themitchq hey Marc and thank you! Great question: we're big fans of networking. Currently HUMANS is a team of 15, where 5-6 people were brought into with the power of networking :)
@george_lobushkin hey George, thank you! Yeah, we're developing several web3 features now: first of all, companies often use cryptocurrencies to pay bonuses for successful recommendations. Secondly, as @anton_fateev stated, we're building our own HRtech&Edutech Metaverse. And finally, we're building a community of handshakers with exclusive rewards, including NFT. Stay tuned for more :)
@dkhasanshin Hey, thank you! Well, we are not just here to fill in positions. We also improve employer brand and attract digital talents to web3 in general. There are jobs on our website, but we give our clients and customers much more.
gm and congrats on the launch 🥳 your website looks cool. I'm not looking for a job rn, but I always upload my CV on different platforms just in case. can I do it on HUMANS?
Congratulations! I was super lucky to work with you in the past, have no doubt this project will be as good as all the others you've built :) The team is rock solid 🗿
