Say hello to the future of job searching and hiring with the Hiyrd app, a Liverpool-based startup that is modernising the jobs market and has now set its sights on Birmingham.
Job seeking and recruitment are time-consuming, ineffective and outdated; CVs don’t let individuals showcase their personality, job descriptions give you next to no insight into a company’s culture, recruiters are extortionate and the traditional job platforms promote spam-applying for roles. This wastes everybody’s valuable time and energy.
The concept is simple; job seekers scroll through a video feed of vacancies in the local area, and when they find one they like, they record themselves answering 3 questions that the employer sets (this can be anything). Think of it like TikTok for jobs – no more CVs, no more cover letters, no more boring job boards! Hiyrd removes the stress of job hunting, replacing paper with personality and is completely free to download.
For businesses, Hiyrd allows employers to gain greater insight into potential employees beyond their qualifications and written ability, letting their personalities shine through. With a few simple clicks, businesses can promote their employment opportunities with flair and attract staff that align with the company’s ethos and energy.
Co-founder and COO Samuel Garlick “We’re so excited to launch Hiyrd across Birmingham and the wealth of creative businesses here in the “second city”. Hiyrd was created to revolutionise job discovery and hiring and we can’t wait to help employees and employers establish meaningful connections easier than ever. ”
Companies such as Lab11, ZumHof, Digbeth Dining Club, Stir Stores, Forum, Luna Springs and many more have already partnered with the app to promote their latest vacancies across Birmingham. Hiyrd has been responsible for landing people their latest gigs with employers such as Skiddle, Revolution & NQ64.
The app is available to download for free on IOS and Android devices. Employers can also sign up to start posting their latest roles both locally and in other regions across the UK. Find your next role with a scroll!
