A Different Type of Recruiting Platform: Is the Value Prop and Product Clear?

https://sharedrecruiting.co/

Hi IH πŸ‘‹

Just launched this landing page today and would love feedback! Specifically, looking for feedback on copy and content clarity. Design feedback is welcome too, but I'm actively looking for a designer to help re-design it.

Let me know what you think!

    I don't love the logo. It seems very low effort and some random person from Fiverr could probably do a better job.

    In regards the product and the copy, it's fairly easy what you promise but I wouldn't say that the product offering is super clear. It would help to see a screenshot, for example.

    I don't love the words "stop" in your CTA buttons. I see what you are doing, but when your exciting copy gets me all worked up and ready to click your CTA, I want to start doing things, not stop.

    Also, there is no indication as to why I should become your beta tester to help you to improve your product. What's in it for me?

      Thank you for the feedback Jouni! Very on point and helpful.

      I agree about the logo...I just updated it to something simpler and cleaner. Let me know if you think it's an improvement.

      Also agree it needs screenshots. That's next on the todo list :)

      Interesting point about the "stop" verbiage. I'll think about alternative CTAs.

      Is this a general comment about the "Candidates" page or specific to the CTA around the Join buttons

        This comment was relating to your pitch about joining the waitlist. ("SRC is currently in an invite only beta. If you already have an account, log in. If not, join the waitlist.")

          Updated! Thanks for clarifying

    Hi @devstein,
    All my comments are subjective. ;)

    • Logo: It's hard to come up with something special nowadays when lot of design is AI-automated. Your logo is not exciting but also not ugly. It is average. I don't see any connection between your logo and your name "Shared Recruiting Co."
    • Font: I understand that your target group is tech candidates hence your choice of font makes sense. For me it is less readable. I'd prefer other, more readable fonts, especially given the small size. But again, for your target group it may be OK.
    • Anchor: When I click on anchor (e.g. https://sharedrecruiting.co/candidates#product) the scrolling is not smooth. It's minor thing but I prefer "scroll-behavior: smooth;" in HTML tag.
    • Images: As others have already pointed out some images showing what your app does and proving its usefulness and security would improve the user experience.

    Yours,

      Thanks @KodingKitty! Great call on the smooth scrolling behavior. I just updated it.

      I agree the font isn't perfect, but is good for the tech-y feel. Any alternative readable fonts you recommend?

        My own site uses system mono font. Does it look tech-y enough? Our designer thinks so. ;)

    I like the tag (Tired of recruiting emails? So are we.)
    then it goes downhill for me. I dont see substance and UI is noisy.
    Tag is bold .. make the rest bold. show the how it works. show the evidence.
    Show me the action... [Would love a real genuine solution!]

      Glad you like the tag @catalystNewbie :)

      Do you think the noise/boldness would be solved with better designs, specifically more screenshots/graphics (i.e show don't tell) or bolder copy

      1. 1

        definitely show/don't tell. Anything bold must be able to be substantiated instantly if you wish to keep the trust coins in the trust jar. Sort that first, then look at sharpening the copy (can it be made bolder to match the tag).
