Hiring several people at once? Let’s talk
The hiring problem nobody is solving properly.
You post a role. Four hundred CVs land in your inbox by Friday. Most are not relevant. You spend the weekend filtering. You interview five people. None of them are quite right. The role stays open another month.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Soweto, a young job seeker has applied to her eighty-seventh job. She has heard back from three. She is starting to wonder if the problem is her.
It isn’t.
The talent exists. The hiring system is just broken in the middle. Companies cannot find the right people quickly. Candidates cannot get seen at all. Everyone loses.
For employers
Hundreds of CVs, hardly any fit.
Weekends lost to filtering, interviews that go nowhere, and roles that stay open for another month.
For job seekers
Eighty-seven applications, three replies.
Talented young people who never get seen, and start to believe the problem is them.
What LaunchPath does
Fix the middle.
Screen candidates properly against the real requirements, and put a short, relevant shortlist in front of the employer.
