Hiring new team members should be an exciting, effective and social experience.

At CareerStarter we help companies identify top talent from their existing applicant pools based on each candidate’s actual capability to perform the job and fit company culture. Our exclusive Competition Based Hiring platform incorporates social tools, video and data. We also involve existing staff members and decision makers in a new, easy to use and fun process of selecting new hires.

“CareerStarter gets right down to the core issues behind candidate selection, can this person do the job and do we want to spend 8+ hours per day working with them?” Co-Founder & Legal Counsel David D. White

Using social media tools to rate candidate work samples creates new efficiencies within recruiting and selection. By leveraging a company’s institutional knowledge about success talent acquisition managers can move forward with more confidence around candidate skills and buy-in from managers and co-workers.

Applicants are also getting behind CareerStarter’s mission. For applicants CareerStarter represents an opportunity to stand out to employers in a way their resumes cannot. Furthermore, where applicant tracking systems (ATS) create walls between candidates and employers CareerStarter creates opportunities for those candidates to finally stand out.

“In an employer driven job market applicants need every chance they can take to stand out. Applicants know that ATS systems are not showcasing their true skills and abilities.” David D. White Co-Founder & Legal Counsel.

With a Midwest presence in Indianapolis and Chicago, CareerStarter has raised seed stage funding and is now testing Competition Based Hiring with select companies. CareerStarter is also accepting pilot clients to develop customized competition hiring systems for talent selection and employee engagement.
