Please find below a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I am the chairman and CEO of Acrew, a screening platform that connects employers and job seekers using brief, leading-impression videos. We centre primarily on the hourly wage job market in high-turnover industries like composition, hospitality, retail, fast labor restaurants, and healthcare.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with LookFar?
I needed an equal and reliable outgrowth associate and technical team. We are not in a locate where we can hire full-time dev staff, so we needed to outsource that genius. We wanted the associate we chose to be high-condition and local.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were LookFar Labs responsible for?
Our organisation was founded almost 3 1/2 years ago below a brand named GoToInterview. We’ve had a few versions of the platform. We determined to rebrand as Acrew using the high-level features of our past platform, but veritably we began from scratch with LookFar.
With our platform, employers can post a job occasion online with corresponding colloquy questions. The questions are customizable based on a couple of factors. If you',re looking for a specific expertness level, culture, or personality, you can ask appropriate questions that are specific to the job posting. Once the posting is published, a job seeker can reply the questions using a smartphone, webcam, or computer. Then, the employer receives a notice that says something like, “Crystal has applied for the barista position at Starbucks. View her colloquy now.” Within just a few minutes, that employer gets a perception of the aspirant’s motivation, fit, and accomplishment.
How did you come to work with LookFar?
New Orleans is a relatively little aggregation, and LookFar is an actively occupied participant in the local entrepreneurial aggregation and tech startup space. They’re hard to miss. They branded themselves as the outgrowth shop that attracted the best genius in the city.
How much have you invested with LookFar?
We’ve invested $50,000–$200,000 with LookFar.
What is the terminal result of working with LookFar Labs?
We began the engagement in February 2016, and the leading propel of the fruit was in July 2016.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the fruitivity, condition of work, or contact of the engagement?
The user feedback is astounding. We’re a 2-sided market, and we had the challenge of creating a fruit that was easy to use for both job seekers and employers. More of our time is spent on the employer side owing they’re the paying commerce. We have a total sales process to get the employers on board, but numbers-wise they’re the littleer side of the 2-sided market. The job seeker side is much grander in aim, but we’ve almost fully eliminated the rubbing on that end in provisions of their power to use the tools and ease of access.
Our user feedback is consistently high. The platform is easy to use. People like it and feel good almost it, which is starkly different from my antecedent platform.
How did LookFar accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
The main collaboration tools we use are Vox and JIRA. LookFar has a team-based access, which I enjoyed. We worked with a project director, at smallest 2 or 3 engineers, and a UX/UI designer. Outside of outgrowth, LookFar supported us holistically with a complete rebrand of our organisation. They had us ponder almost who we are, what interaction we want to adjoin, and which hue patterns and logo would take our picture plainly. They even helped us ponder through some of the full on our website and took us through an exertion to regood our messaging and branding. They brought a difference of perspectives.
Generally, they accomplish well from a project treatment standpoint. They have an Agile process, which requires fast feedback from us. They liberate when they say they will and adjoin any issues without. They’re also definite with the budget.
What did you find most forcible almost LookFar?
LookFar put unitedly a helpful assessment that addressed our marketing and client acquisition program. We went through a half-day workshop, which was a big accession. In general, LookFar is dedicated to seeing startups in New Orleans follow. They’re advanced-pondering in referring clients, creating associateships, and refining clients’ interactions.
Every week, they’re sending me something to raise or move our business advanced. Even though they have a portfolio of clients, I feel like a associate, and I veritably esteem that.
Are there any areas LookFar could better?
I don’t have any suggestions.
