The career insights marketplace where professionals can buy and sell personal job insights, to assist job applications and inform career progression. "Learn" about jobs if you're a job seeker & "Earn" from your own unique professional experience by sharing,
Hello fellow product Hunters! So great to be here with you all and share our exciting launch of LUMINLINC, the world's 1st career insights marketplace.
In a nutshell, we've developed LUMINLINC to help the professional community 'get to know' jobs. A little over 2 years ago, I was looking for a new job, wanting to stay within marketing, but wanting to switch to a new industry, other than retail. But after reviewing job ad after job ad after job ad, I became increasingly frustrated. None of them really told me how the job in the adjacent industry might be similar or different to mine, or what I'd be doing on a day to day basis, or what it was like to really work at the company advertising the post.
So this got me thinking….
Who could I talk to that could give me genuine insight on what it is like to do exactly that role at exactly that company????
We've developed LUMINLINC to be an exchange of knowledge, where professionals can buy and sell first-hand job insights, to assist job applications and inform career progression. Like any good neighborhood, our wish for the LUMINLINC community is to share, enlighten and help fellow professionals to better understand different roles, career choices and industries. Like a job encyclopedia, but written by us (professionals). Ultimately, if we get the right professionals applying for the right jobs, that benefits everyone!
LUMINLINC targets 2 key user groups:
- What we call "LEARNERS" on the one side, who are professionals looking for information about jobs.
- And what we call "EARNERS" on the other side, who are professionals willing to share information about jobs.
Of course these are not mutually exclusive, and any professional could use the platform for both purposes.
We've been live in Southern Africa for a few months now and have just under 500 professionals already signed up, but the plans are certainly to expand to other markets as we scale. We'd really love you to join the platform, create some content and would very much welcome your thoughts along the way.
