Using Meetero to Find Collaboration

Meetero was initially born as a dating site, with the idea of helping people finding new people outside their comfort zone, typically during travel. The initial idea was to be a platform with more freedom and free stuff, different with respect to usual dating platforms, which only want to make money showing ads or only offer paid services without no chance to experiment things for free. Besides, a typical dating network confines the user and limits them to the concept of meeting people in their area, exclusively.

Meetero was not initially designed with the idea of being a platform to search for jobs or find employees, it has never been a job board, however, from the beginning it has included in its business model the concept of meeting people not only for the purpose of love or friendship, but also for the purpose of finding collaboration.

The concept of finding collaboration was added with the idea of diversifying the network and make it more social, as well as also considering the possibility of sharing stories and posts that will be seen by all other members of the platform (and not only by contacts or people who follow you).

However, inflexibility has never been a prerogative of Meetero, which aims to remain a very open place but within certain limits. Nowadays, platforms are becoming more and more social, nevertheless, wanting to encompass everything for a social media is as wrong and boring as having an extremely restricted business model.

Due to all this context, you will not find here the classic job boards that one typically expects from a platform on job seeking. Meetero allows users to potentially get jobs by creating professional profiles, expressing their aspirations and availability and build strong connections with other users who search or offer the same things. We are deeply convinced that when things are not forced, they work out and flow better.

What the real proposition of value is all about?Well, there is a fundamental difference between classic job boards and what we offer. On job search platforms, it is generally the employer who publishes job openings and users apply to them. And nothing guarantees that a selection process will be carried out correctly, a CV or a job interview are insufficient means to have a complete assessment of someone. Recruiters have a difficult job, and they don't always get it right. Whereas in our model, users prepare a professional profile, and interested employers will naturally contact one, or more of them. Opportunities arise naturally through strong, organic connections between people with shared affinities. These connections can be more powerful than traditional, rigid selection processes or platform interventions that attempt to control and direct the hiring process.

In the end, when an employer is looking for someone, the first thing they do is ask their colleagues if they know anyone, then their circle of friends, their professional channels and their usual connections, and only when they do not find anyone through these channels, and as a last resort, they publish a job ad. The job offer is posted only when the employer has no other quick ways to seek collaboration. But, in reality, there are other ways to create professional connections, much more natural than publishing an ad.
