• What was Grapevine Daily?
• Finding the right candidate in the financial industry can be a tedious and laborious affair. For the financial recruiter, this involves contacting multiple candidates, many of whom are usually unavailable for the position through their professional network.
• What if recruiters were able to know when someone was available for hire before the candidate updated their professional profile?
• Grapevine Daily was a solution for financial recruiters to find the latest available professional candidates in Hong Kong.
• By registering, users were notified of daily changes made on the SFC register of:
• a list of everyone who had found or left a job
• restructuring and redundancies as they happened
• market changes before they were officially announced
• candidate moves within the industry
• which organisations were registering for business
• It was a great opportunity to experiment with using algorithms to improve the recruitment process. But after 2 years the decision was taken to shut it down and focus on other projects.
