"We give them a typing assessment. And 90% of them can't type over 35 words per minute."

Market Gap

Inefficient hiring processes lead to poor candidate selection.

Many companies face challenges in assessing candidates for remote positions, particularly when it comes to basic skills like typing speed. Traditional hiring methods often lead to hiring unsuitable candidates who lack essential skills, resulting in wasted time and resources. As remote work becomes more prevalent, the need for effective, efficient hiring tools is critical. Candidates who cannot meet basic performance metrics, such as typing speed, can hinder productivity and overall team performance, making it essential for employers to implement a reliable assessment tool to streamline the hiring process.

Summary

Create an online platform that provides typing speed assessments and other essential skill evaluations for remote job candidates. This tool would allow companies to filter applicants based on their typing speed and other relevant skills before proceeding to interviews, ensuring only qualified candidates make it to the next stage. The assessment could include customizable tests for various roles, such as administrative assistants, customer service representatives, and data entry positions. By integrating this tool into existing recruitment workflows, businesses can improve their selection processes and significantly reduce hiring time and costs, particularly for remote positions.

How should I validate this saas idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a saas idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Technical to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your low difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and < 1 month, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available < $100
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...
