Profilr to change job recruitment in the UK service industry

Profilr, a recruitment platform combining the swipe-and-match functionality of dating apps with the professional networking approach of LinkedIn, is gearing up to launch in the UK. Aiming to shake up the recruitment process in the service industry, Profilr promises a seamless experience for both job seekers and employers.

Designed to tackle long-standing frustrations in recruitment, Profilr uses advanced algorithms to match candidates with roles faster and more efficiently. The platform’s user-friendly interface allows for quicker connections between the right talent and the right opportunities.

Key Features Driving the Recruitment Revolution

Profilr’s standout feature is its swipe-and-match system, where job seekers can swipe through job listings as easily as they would on a dating app. Employers, on the other side, can review candidate profiles and swipe right when interested, creating an immediate match if both parties agree. Additionally, job seekers can submit video cover letters, offering a personal touch that gives employers a better sense of potential hires without scheduling interviews.

Beyond this, Profilr offers several tools to enhance the recruitment process:

  • AI-Powered Recommendations: Candidates receive tailored job suggestions based on their experience and aspirations.
  • Analytics for Employers: Companies gain access to data insights, tracking candidate engagement and profile views to make informed hiring decisions.
  • Visually Enhanced Job Listings: Employers can craft attractive, detailed job ads to stand out and draw top-tier applicants.

Focusing on the Service Sector and Professional Services

At its UK debut, Profilr will focus on the service industry, specifically targeting the legal sector. The platform is designed to accommodate roles from entry-level positions, like administrative staff, to managerial roles, offering a versatile tool for both job seekers and employers across the service industry spectrum.

A Vision for the Future

"We are thrilled to introduce Profilr to the UK market," said Co-founder Zobia Khan. "Our mission is to revolutionise the way recruitment is conducted, making it more engaging and efficient for both employers and job seekers. By combining the best elements of social networking and professional recruitment, we believe Profilr will set a new standard in recruitment."
