BetterFit is an incubating idea. It's related to Schlep 2 Work: Proximity-based job searching made... smarter. Schlep to Work was born out of the shared experience of wasting and spending hundred of hours commuting.
As Schlep 2 Work was born of shared experience, BetterFit is a concept forged in the sharedexperiencetravail of job seeking and hiring. None of it seems to work smoothly.optimally. The process causes massive frustration, consumes massivevast amounts of time, much of it wasted (see [[muda]]) fails to capture the full picture for either party, and as a consequence delivers suboptimal and sometimes downright poor outcomes.
We can do better. I met my partner on OK Cupid. We BOTH answered hundreds of questions EACH with varying levels of attributed importance and detail. Contrast this with the typical outside hiring process where a candidate applies based on a description of a job, the content of an about us page and sometimes colleagues or weak ties [[LinkedIn]] who work at the company of interest. How we can trust corporations aside, it is difficult to have much insight about the team before meeting them in person and typically this happens during 1-5 rounds of interviews. Oh the time we spend...
I've told a lot of people about Schlep 2 Work: where the BefferFit rubber meets the would-be and literal road; travelling hours and hours back-and-forth every day made me realize the dramatic inefficiency of our distribution at our various jobs. In major cities, it is a statistical certainty that two people are one-another's commute doppleganger's, if you will -- each one leaving a home close to the other's place of ork where they do exectly the same job on the same team. Obviously I'm taken
