Why would an employer trust your vetting process?

I mean the primary cost of hiring is time. Signing up for your service doesn’t save big chunks of it versus working with a regular recruiter.

And it is possible to have a business relationship with a recruiter. Less so with an algorithm or website.

The problem with hiring is it’s a market for lemons. Signing up people looking for remote work doesn’t address a business problem companies can’t solve themselves with a job listing. They probably don’t even need to mention remote work to get a stack of cv looking for it.

To put it in market terms, the recruiting market is very efficient. There is a rough equilibrium between jobs and recruiters already.

Good employers have ongoing relationships with recruiters…just as good engineers already have jobs.

Good luck.
