What’s a product you dislike but have to use everyday? How would you improve it? How would you get it to the market?

It is a feature of LinkedIn where HR/HM can post a job they can either re-direct the aspirants to their company career pages or 3rd part platforms or ease the process of hiring by using LinkedIn's easy apply

LinkedIn jobs are widely used for getting a job or an internship

A major problem associated with LinkedIn jobs is the success rate of getting accepted is very low

We will be focusing on aspirants seeking for jobs as LinkedIn has high no. of job listings than internship listings

Most frustrating instance while applying

1. Getting a lot of rejected mails
2. No feedback as to why was the resume not shortlisted
3. Filling out a lengthy form

Why would a candidate get a lot of rejection emails?

1. More applications
2. Candidate lagging
   1. Hard skills
   2. Proof of work
   3. Work experience
   4. Relevant experience
   5. Work visa
3. Vacancy got filled internally

Solutions:

1. Success rate prediction: Here a candidate will get a score out of 100 as to how good his chances of getting selected are. The score will take care of all the candidate's internal factors and the number of applicants
2. Skills match: Here the candidate will be aware of the skills required for the job and the skills he has. This will help him improve himself and upskill using LinkedIn Learning

Hygiene Solutions:

1. A proper listing with cross-verified information in the job post and the title. For example, the job post says work location Mumbai but the Job title has Remote in the title
2. The work ex required in the title says 0-1yrs (even after using the filter) but the job just says 3-5yrs

Prioritization:

We will go forward with a hygiene solution as those are the basic features that have given rise to many other small-scale competitors with fewer listings. If we look at the job aspirant segmentation the number of recent graduates will always be higher than folks with work trying to change their job.

Clarifying question: Is there any time constraints? 

Ans: 6 months

In order to revisit the past job listing and correcting them would not be a good idea as there will always be a job getting added in real-time as well. It will be exactly like Filling a bucket with a hole. So, let's first fix the hole.

First, we will be going through the most frequent search query used by job aspirants on the LinkedIn platform as well as the job platform. We will also try to gain as much data on the same using other sources just to understand the necessary filters used by the aspirants.

Simultaneously we will also optimize the process of listing the job.

After finding out the exact keywords and optimizing the process of listing the job we will be observing how early-stage candidates use LinkedIn jobs. On the basis of feedback, we will be optimizing and re-iterating. We will carry this process until and unless we get a good NPS score and our success metrics show progress.
