Job seekers turn to HRTech platform myPiitch for video CVs

With job seekers now spending up to 40 hours a week looking for work, the HRTech platform myPiitch has become the latest start-up to digitalise the recruitment industry through its innovative video-based application.

Through tailored video CVs, applicants have a better chance of showcasing their skills and talent, believes myPiitch. With an increasingly competitive job market, template-based recruitment systems and paper CVs are becoming a less efficient and time-consuming method for hiring. Job seekers are often frustrated from the cumbersome process and limited feedback from employers.

Businesses are equally strained by traditional recruitment practices, costly systems and quality of hires.

For job seekers, the myPiitch app helps to make them stand out with real-time feedback provided at every stage of the process. They found that video CVs being viewed 20 times more than traditional paper-based CVs.

For employers, myPiitch vows to eliminate the need for costly applicant tracking systems through its enterprise platform enhancing the hiring experience. The old approach of reviewing piles of CVs and screening numerous candidates over a lengthy period are gone.

myPiitch therefore saves employers valuable time and costs. Operating across multiple geographies and industries, it also provides employers an opportunity to connect with a diverse range of quality talent.

“Our story is about passion, purpose, and love,” says the myPiitch team. “We understand that it’s easy to be overlooked based on paper credentials. It’s not about perfection but authenticity in showcasing your talent, skills, and knowledge.

“Job seeking should not be a nightmare and certainly shouldn’t leave you feeling vulnerable or incapable. We are here to redefine the future of talent seeking, by making people stand out, land their dream jobs and provide the best talent.”

The myPiitch app is available to download on Google Play and App Store. Once signed up, users can create a profile and record a 60-second video bio that showcases their personality and skills.
