This is a very interesting idea. Given access to long form descriptions of what has been worked on, ideally with some kind of trusted verification, this approach seems like it would operate at scale quite well and could transform the way we network and hire. A technical expert could explain what is needed for a role, and with AI assistance candidates could be sorted through extremely effectively and matched to companies that are a good fit for their experience. Given, this doesn't account for junior developers who have yet to build up their skillset, but for experienced developers this could result in a much more efficient hiring process.

Yeah, there are two angles I'm exploring. LinkedIn is a very recruiter focused breadth first search and not very candidate friendly. I think that's why so many profiles are incomplete, non-existent, old, etc.

So I decided to build something that is useful to a single person first, the person that wants to market themselves. This is the first iteration that seems to be working for me in that regard; as a depth first tool.

This is intended as a 'show and tell and get feedback post', but if any of you want to actually try making one, you can reach out to me at [e-mail].

I'm intent on making networking just less painful for everyone, in particular, for the individual. If this gets big enough, then I'll think about breadth first tools.
