I like their ideas, but the only thing that changed for me with the shapes is, that I have a profile that doesn't match any job offering. So no win for me, lol
Hey k_3, its Hung, CEO of Workshape.io here. Thanks for signing up and for your comment. We know that the 'no match' screen feels like failure, even when its anything but!
Its simply a case that no employer has seen the wisdom of designing a job opportunity that meets your interest! And its highly likely to be a question of scale i.e not enough companies on the platform.
In any case, we need to get better at that screen and are aiming to produce analytics to describe job distribution (geography, tech stack etc) so that users who see it will come away with better value.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't take this personally.
I just wanted to say that this is a bigger problem than you think. The companies have some skills in mind when they want to hire and packing them into a job title with description or a radar chart doesn't change anything.
I think everyone is fully aware that these titles doesn't mean much. I have read so much different descriptions of one title, that I don't read the titles anymore.
We aren't completely transfixed by job titles, this was just the blog post headline and one component of current recruitment practices we dislike. Unfortunately recruiters may not be so aware of job titles not meaning much - it is still common practice to perform key word search on other platforms to identify candidates. This is a behaviour we are looking to disrupt.

Ping me if you have any more input!
