Since online shopping became famous, "reviews" are very important for a buyer and who would've thought that it could also be applied in a profession and not just in products? Amit's idea is indeed incredible.

[@SamEspeleta]

Amit mentioned that his ideal weekend would involve going to the gym, reading, hiking, and doing bouldering. Which is so productive, opposite to my weekend. 🤣 But I hope I can do what Amit does on his ideal weekend. 😍

[@salvadorkana13]

I like this app because if I would hire an engineer, I personally would like to know what his/her past clients could say to his/her project.

[@KaelEspinoza]

An intriguing aspect is that candidates don't have access to the reviews, only employers do. This approach enhances trust in the hiring process.

[@LeopoldSilva]

Hats off to Amit Singh and his co-founders for securing an impressive $2.2 million in funding! How did they manage to attract investors like Y Combinator and Venture Highway?

[@Anngarcia686]

[@Kurt_Angelo]

I like how he talks about confidentiality, when the CEO opened up that part I was amazed because he prioritized to protect the personal info being collected.

[@AndreiMercado0314]

I can see that Amit applies his understanding of mathematics, and other sciences to creatively solve problems and solve issues in variety of businesses.

[@NeilDavid14]

Well, engineers are essential for our technology because engineers play a crucial role in technological advancements and innovation, contributing to the development of new products and solutions.

[@LivParker]

Working on emotional intelligence is admirable. It's crucial for any leader, especially in the startup world.

[@SheiraGarcia22]

I would love to see Weekday expand to other verticals beyond engineering. Marketing talent could be next!😁

[@EmericQuiambao]

Weekday is currently catering to US startups seeking remote engineering talent from India. It's fascinating to see their targeted approach. 🌍🌐

[@ajespeleta1355]

I love how its called Weekday 😍. And it is designed to help companies find engineering talent by providing upfront reference checks, similar to how Amazon provides reviews for products. The goal is to make the reference checks more trustworthy and valuable, as candidates consent to have their references collected but do not know who will be providing them.

[@annatorres795]

Weekday - the name itself radiates efficiency! Kudos to innovation in the job market!

[@PrinceGabrielDizon]

I can't wait to try it and be available in my country, because this tool is great for engineers!

[@LouiseBinsol]

The upfront reviews and reference checks are like a breath of fresh air. Hats off to the team for bringing such a forward-thinking approach to the table. 👍

[@Mika_Villanueva]

One of the standout features of the Weekday app is its ability to reduce the risk of hiring mismatches. By emphasizing upfront reference checks, companies can make more informed decisions, leading to better long-term employee satisfaction and retention rates.

Focusing on remote hiring from India is smart. Lots of great talent there, and startups often struggle with location limitations.🤓

[@CharityLlanes8]

The video wraps up with an engaging Q&A session with Amit Singh, where he shares personal insights and preferences. It's a great way to gain further understanding.

[@LucaFerrar1]

Making reference checks better is good, but being clear about how it works is even better. It's like having an open book - it builds trust and makes hiring simpler for everyone. 👥

[@FelicityRama]

Candidates not having access to the reviews adds an intriguing twist! How does this unique approach help establish trust between employers and potential hires?

[@Taylor_Mattuelin]

The user-friendly interface of the Weekday app makes it easy for both recruiters and candidates to navigate the platform. The intuitive design ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience, contributing to a positive user engagement.

[@ArnArn_Castro]

Overall, a diverse university environment enhances career exploration by facilitating exposure, networking, collaboration, mentorship, and access to resources, enabling students to explore a wide range of career paths and make informed decisions about their future.👍

[@annatorres795]

I'm really fond of the emphasis on trust. What other factors do you consider and How do you ensure the quality, readability, and maintainability of your code? Any specific coding practices or methodologies you follow?

[@lukeghrams]

Weekday emphasizes trust. Employers must trust that their engineers will take responsibility for their projects and deliver results in a timely and efficient manner...

[@talliahlim]

I love how they really care about "trust"! Makes Weekday more reliable and credible.

[@SunshineGrc]

Maintaining the privacy of reference checks for potential employers is a novel strategy. I'm interested to observe how it affects systemic trust.

[@KennethManlupig]

Wondering if Weekday is a good fit for fresh grad engineers? I will definitely going to use this website to try it out.

[@NovaRamirez0747]

Raising $2.2 million is impressive, but how sustainable is the business model? Are there any pricing concerns for companies?

[@Hana-et4vj]

Aside from hiring engineering talents, do you have a direction or vision of also hiring other professionals for Weekday?

[@kydelana418]

My question too. I really hope they consider this idea.

[@davidpaolo604]

Engineering talents work collaboratively with professionals from various disciplines, creating a diversified and innovative work environment that can result in comprehensive solutions.

[@ulyssesong]

I wonder what security measures they have on Weekday?

[@DavidAnderson-mw4ce]

Curious about a hiring app that adds trust to the mix by doing upfront reviews for engineers? Any thoughts on early trust in hiring? Also, kudos to Amit Singh! 🌟

[@CarlHalley]

The creator of Weekday, Amit Singh, is featured in a video by Tom Style that discusses the difficulties in hiring engineers and how Weekday attempts to address these issues by requiring reference checks in advance.

[@diazmitsi11]

Is all engineer in weekday app trusted and have real license?

[@BreanneManalo]

I'm obsessed with Amit's perfect weekend! Do you like to read, work out, and spend time in nature? Put me down for it!

[@kydelana418]

I like the way Amit thinks. Trying to build trust up front when it comes to hiring is revolutionary 🤯

[@Orivera15]

Weekday is such a game changer. Oh well, interview no more 😌

[@JanetAnn]

There may be a high demand for engineering talents that can result in intense competition, making it challenging to attract and retain top candidates.

[@draxreyes161]

Same thoughts. There's no denying that the competition can be tough too.

[@ArmanMalonzo]

Engineering can be really a high-paying job, with different kinds of engineering branches, one could really be rich. 😊

[@DianneBasilio21]

Amit Singh and his co-founders have secured an impressive $2.2 million in funding from notable investors like Y Combinator and Venture Highway.

[@Johndoe23127]

"Hey folks! 👋 Has anyone tried out Weekday for hiring engineers? I'm curious about the vibe - is it a cool spot for fresh talent or more tailored for seasoned pros? Share your thoughts!

[@aishagomez252]

There may be a greater need for qualified engineers than there is talent in the field. Locating suitable applicants with the precise knowledge and experience needed for a given position would be difficult. 🤔

[@cecesantos]

Hmm, true. It can be a challenge indeed.

[@XerxesManalo]

With a focus on trust, Weekday aims to make reference checks more reliable by gathering reviews from a community of software engineers.

[@JustineManalang]

Apart from employment chances, what are the particular advantages of adopting Weekday for engineers?

[@ClarksonReyes]

Success in India is great, but will Weekday eventually cater to other regions like Europe or South America?

[@Bea_Moe]

Some users may find the upfront reference checks on the Weekday app to be intrusive, potentially deterring candidates from participating in the hiring process. Are there measures in place to address candidate concerns and ensure a positive experience?

[@JhoAnne_Guevarra]

Mr. Amit Singh discussed his previous startup experience and how the difficulty of hiring talent led him to start Weekday. So my question is what are the main qualities to look for when hiring engineering talents?🤔

[@SeraphinaQuinn]

I am curious about how Weekday handles confidentiality concerns with reference checks. Only employers seeing them might raise privacy questions.

[@CherrylMnl]

Daylight is now focusing on US firms who want to recruit people remotely from India. It has secured $2.2 million from investors such as Venture Highway and YC.

[@CarolineSnchz]

What are the plans for weekday expansion? Apart from engineering expertise, what other verticals is Amit Singh taking into consideration?

[@HazerGovina]

How does Weekday guarantee the dependability and correctness of the reference checks?

[@Maxdelacruz868]

Weekday may be focused on making the reference-check process more accessible for candidates, ensuring a smoother experience for both the hiring organization and the individuals being considered for a role.😊

[@Mika_Villanueva]

Accessibility matters! A smoother process benefits everyone involved. Weekday's commitment to candidate experience is commendable.

[@Lowi_Tala]

The Weekday app's reliance on upfront reference checks might exclude qualified candidates who excel in skill sets not fully represented in traditional reference checks. How does Weekday ensure a fair evaluation for candidates with diverse backgrounds?

[@gyurigarcia16]

This interview proves that there is no success overnight

[@Shin_Kocho12]

Reference checks can be subjective and may not always provide a complete picture of a candidate's capabilities, relying on personal opinions. And while trust is crucial, an overemphasis on this aspect might neglect other important factors in the hiring process, such as diversity, skills assessment, and cultural fit.😕

[@lukeghrams]

True! trust is the foundation of a successful hiring process, a vibrant corporate culture is created by the throbbing rhythms of diversity, skills evaluation, and cultural fit. 😊

[@Garcia_Kent]

What challenges does the speaker face when hiring engineering talents?🤔 If Working with diverse groups of students on projects and assignments can foster creativity and innovation. It allows individuals to learn from different perspectives, problem-solving techniques, and approaches, expanding their skillset and opening up new career possibilities.

[@shincruz12]

Can this app detect fake engineers?

[@Finn_Hooman]

While upfront reference checks are valuable, the Weekday app's effectiveness may be limited to industries or roles where traditional reference checks play a significant role in the hiring decision. In fields where other assessment methods are more critical, the app's impact may be less pronounced.

[@JulieSamson01]

What if there are a lot of engineers in a country? I wonder what could happen.

[@MariaBautista925]

The app streamlines hiring by incorporating upfront reference checks, saving time for both employers and candidates, but depending solely on upfront reference checks may limit the assessment of candidates, potentially overlooking other valuable skills or experiences. 😔

[@RachelGonzales22]

He expressed his interest in visiting Japan and also mentioned that if he had a time machine, he would go back to the Mughal period in India to witness the height of Indian art and culture. Same, I also want to visit Japan someday because of its food and culture. 😊

[@Love-mw2oo]

[@ulyssesong]

I know right? 😍 I hope our dreams come true, sister!

[@JohnKabusao]

I felt more informed about potential opportunities. Any other job seekers out there who found Weekday beneficial in their search?
