[–] iwangulenko 6y ago ↗ Tech recruiter here.Love the templates, they are very readable.Yet, the biggest problem with such builders is that people hate data-entry. [–] micael_dias 6y ago ↗ Thank you!I know, I wanted to add a LinkedIn integration but they don't allow it unless you're a partner.So, I tried to mitigate the "data-entry hate" by showing the resume being updated in real time. [–] iwangulenko 6y ago ↗ killer feature suggestion: You can ask people to download a pdf from their Linkedin profile and parse that (it is doable because it is standardized and a lot of startups depend on it, so unlikely that Linkedin will change it) [–] micael_dias 6y ago ↗ Oh that's a great idea. I already found a php parser for it. Thanks for the suggestion.
