Frank Bardelli experienced a markedly drier job market after posting availability on LinkedIn and received fewer referrals from former colleagues than in past searches. He completed a Fonzi profile and participated in Match Day, where three of 14 companies offered interviews, helping him avoid a prolonged search. Layoffs and sluggish hiring have left many tech workers facing endless application cycles. The traditional recruiting process is inefficient and broken for both sides, causing candidates to spend excessive time assessing fit and repeating similar conversations. Fonzi connects candidates who know what they want with employers that have open roles and streamlined hiring.
"It was very different, and definitely drier than I've seen it be in many years," Bardelli told Business Insider.
"Mou said the existing traditional recruiting process is inefficient and \"broken for both sides.\" Mou said this results in candidates spending a lot of time trying to determine whether a company is a good fit. When candidates do land interviews, he said, they often repeat themselves in similar conversations with multiple employers."
"Employers, for their part, are \"getting flooded with applicants,\" Mou said. \"You put up a job post, you get 1,000 applicants in 24 hours.\""
