Looking for a technical co-founder: Anyone else dislike the recruiting industry?

8 points by MrHygiene ↗ HN
I worked in IT for 10+ years doing Network Admin/DevOps and mostly found recruiters terrible. After years of brainstorming and iteration, I've come up with a product that I think could start to really disrupt the industry. I'm looking for a technical co-founder in/around Philly to help me create and pitch this in the near future.

Interested?

You've come up with a product or you've come up with an idea for a product?
MrHygiene
I've come up with the product. Wireframes, mockup, etc all complete.
CyberDildonics
That's an idea.

Oh...well...I wouldn't be looking for a technical co-founder if I already built the product.

what exactly is wrong with the recruitment industry, and how can it be solved with a technical solution?

I originally tried to build something in this industry. After about 30 customer development interviews of recruiters, I could not find a pattern on what to develop.

It is not the recruiters you should have interviewed in my opinion but rather the job seekers. There, you will find the problems and come up with a solution.
