I think the idea has potential. I am curious what kind of insights and analytics you will be providing.

It would be good to start with a specific audience (e.g. programmers) and use GitHub activity to factor in their professional experience as an example. I can see this being useful for recruiters to screen developer linkedin profiles.

The name predikt implies you plan on predicting something, but I am unclear what you are predicting. Potential salary range? How likely to leave current job? etc.

Hi, thanks for the comment. There is some ongoing development on predicting couple of main things: 1) Would a particular person be potentially a good candidate for certain role. This is done by using similar other profiles as a training set and use those factors to predict early on if someone would be a fit. e.g. People who have studied in a university of reputation X, have Y yrs of experience and have Z skills go on and achieve position 'A'. These factors would be used to predict the users who share the traits and would likely land in a similar position. 2) Predikt the probability of job hopping, likelyhood of someone being a passive job seeker, potential salary ranges the candidate falls into.

Right now, Linkedin and facebook integration are functional, certainly it would be more useful to add all possible networks. Github, Stackoverflow would be next. Some recruiters have approached and would like to use this for screening their applicants.

Exciting! Thanks for the additional info, I definitely have a better picture now.

I think the recruiting industry can definitely use more help from technology.
