Solve the pain points of fair and efficient recruitment, "Leader Direct Recruitment" seeks angel round financing

36Kr has learned that the innovative internet recruitment platform "Leader Direct Recruitment" has officially launched its angel round of financing, planning to raise 2 million RMB by offering 10% equity. The funds from this round of financing will be mainly used for team expansion, brand promotion, and the company's daily operations in the next 18 months, with the goal of achieving large - scale growth of seed users and validating the business model.

Addressing Pain Points: The "Fair and Efficient" Barrier in the Recruitment Market

In the recruitment market worth hundreds of billions, the "fair and efficient" barrier has long troubled job seekers and enterprises. Age discrimination, educational background discrimination, and pregnancy discrimination are widespread. Zombie job listings are rampant, and information is opaque. HRs are caught up in tedious tasks, resulting in low recruitment efficiency, and the recruitment cost is high. The founder of "Leader Direct Recruitment" pointed out that this unfair and inefficient situation not only damages individual development opportunities but also causes a huge waste of social talent resources, and is the core bottleneck restricting the optimal allocation of human resources. Aiming at the industry pain points of "discrimination, inefficiency, and opacity", "Leader Direct Recruitment" pioneered the "Team Leader Direct Recruitment" model, reshaping the recruitment process through technological means, aiming to create a new fair and efficient job - seeking and recruitment ecosystem.

Model Innovation: From "HR Intermediary" to "Leader Direct Recruitment"

Different from traditional recruitment platforms, the core innovation of "Leader Direct Recruitment" lies in bypassing the HR intermediary link, allowing the direct leaders of the hiring teams to directly post job openings and screen resumes. Its core barrier is composed of an innovative business model, a precise technical architecture, and a profound understanding of the essence of recruitment.

Model Level: "Leader Direct Recruitment" streamlines the traditional recruitment process of more than 8 steps to 5 steps, completely freeing HRs from transactional work and enabling them to focus on high - value activities such as talent strategic planning. The recruitment cycle is shortened from an average of more than 25 days to less than 10 days, with an efficiency increase of 60%.

Product Level: The platform adheres to principles such as "permanent free for job seekers", "automatic offline of job listings after 30 days to eliminate zombie jobs", and "transparent and simple pay - as - you - go". Through designs such as "pre - set questions for job positions", it replaces inefficient online communication and intelligently filters out high - quality job seekers.

Emphasizing Both Social Value and Business Prospects

The state has been continuously strengthening fair employment policies, and the Employment Promotion Law clearly prohibits employment discrimination. The launch of "Leader Direct Recruitment" is highly in line with the national strategies of "strengthening the country through education" and "fair employment". "Leader Direct Recruitment" has designed a development path that emphasizes both social value and business value:

Social Benefits: It guides society to shift from "educational background - oriented" to "ability - oriented", providing a fair arena for all strivers regardless of their backgrounds and creating a social atmosphere where everyone can give full play to their talents.

Business Logic: By building a fair and transparent trust ecosystem, it forms a highly sticky user community. On this basis, it explores precise data services and recruitment solutions for enterprises to achieve sustainable business returns.

Founding Team and Product Progress

The core team of "Leader Direct Recruitment" has a profound technical background and product insight. The founder has more than a decade of experience in software development and product R & D, has personally experienced the pain points of workplace discrimination, and has a deep understanding of user needs. Currently, the PC website, WeChat mini - program, Android, and iOS APP of "Leader Direct Recruitment" have all been officially launched, and it has obtained all the necessary qualifications such as the Human Resources Service License and ICP License, completing the verification of the core product functions and the accumulation of the first batch of seed users.

The founder said, "Our original intention of starting this business is to make talent recruitment return to the essence of 'evaluating ability', bring the recruitment cost close to the 'independently controllable' level, and let job - seeking bid farewell to the discrimination of 'judging by labels'. Technology should be used to eliminate prejudices and create fair opportunities. 'Leader Direct Recruitment' is not just a recruitment tool; we hope it can become a driving force for the improvement of the workplace environment." According to the development blueprint, the company plans to achieve large - scale user growth after 18 months and explore diversified service models for the platform.

Verification Period (0 - 12 months): Focus on several core cities and vertical fields to verify the market acceptance of the product and achieve rapid initial user growth.

Growth Period (12 - 18 months): Replicate the successful model and expand to more cities and more vertical fields, starting large - scale expansion.

Maturity Period (After 18 months): Conduct large - scale expansion, build the platform's network effect, explore more enterprise service ecosystems, and consolidate the market position.
