So, first things first: Love the software and the concept of visualizing your activity spread in a radar plot. Well done!

Now for the rant: I am an IT architect. There are many architects working in IT but few of them do anything that is related to what I do. I see job postings for Enterprise Sharepoint Architect and I cry a little, others for CTO/Architect/senior developer and I question if they are maybe hiring for 3 positions and are just really bad at writing jobspecs. I often have VPs working under my direction and govern the work of Project Managers and yet people contact me and ask if I'm interested in a devops role.

Recruitment is broken and I hope companies like workshape.io are here to fix it.

If you think "architect" is too vague, think of the poor "vice-president" :) As you say yourself, "I often have VPs working under my direction"

Good point, people and function managers get called all sorts of job titles, VP, Head of, Team Lead, Manager, etc and its funny to see how multinational (specifically EU/US) companies deal with this since there is a bit of a "dick measuring" competition for nicest sounding titles among peers.

ukigumo, your experience is the reason why Gordon and I started Workshape.io - all the information out there is historical - what you have done in the past - and nothing at all on what you want to do in the immediate future.

Glad you like the service - keep an eye on us, there's a lot more to come

Good to hear you guys have a vision.

May I offer some advice though? Big corp also needs help finding talent (maybe more so than startups) so you may want to _also_ target that market segment going forward.

Good luck!

Yeah we definitely want to provide the service to any organisation that is struggling with hiring / workforce issues. Our focus is startup for now - its the market we know - but we'll get to enterprise and beyond, sooner rather than later.
