Rooftop Slushie: Get career advice from verified FAANG employees

Maker

Hey makers! Today we’re launching the official Rooftop Slushie version 2.0 after releasing a feature our customers wanted the most. 🧨 Problem We hope to fix today’s tech screening process. For large companies such as Google, recruiters may not be technical and evaluate candidates based on keywords and prestigious labels in a resume. This leaves out many qualified candidates. 💪 Solution We already have a community of tech employees on our platform giving career advice. Why not leverage those users to screen a resume and offer a referral if the candidate is a good fit? PMs recognize good PMs. Software engineers recognize good software engineers! ps. This was definitely interesting from a product sense, because we never intended to have a 'referral' feature from the start. Version 1.0 was all about having credible sources (verified tech employees) give advice on interview prep, resume and offer evaluation. But at one point, users started to ask for referrals in our 'Miscellaneous' category. They were using our product to solve problems other than what we’d planned for.
