Could you please explain what is good enough? I understand the concerns for privacy or data protection but that can be catered easily. The main point is growth considering lots of companies are already opting for AI in terms resume filtering and all. If these companies don't opt for AI automation, they might fall back in their growth targets. What are your thoughts on it?
This is an interesting read. I am seeing something opposite. Accounting firms are getting inclined towards using AI to fasten their processes. Its very hard to infuse AI into such firms but it's happening.
1. I spoke with the recruiters and they told me about their internal systems.
2. With AI being everywhere and bringing fast paced automation, I believe one should opt if it brings them value considering the tool does not bring a drastic change into their systems as no one likes interruptions in their operations. Any thoughts on that?
I've had a concept I've been thinking about on and off for a long time.
Today I have an RSS reader that sucks in articles from 110 feeds. Over the course of a week it ingests maybe 10,000 articles and picks 300 to show me which I make a thumbs up or thumbs down judgement which is then used to train the model that selects articles. It works great after getting a few thousand judgements and I love the feed I get. I can picture it as a consumer product with the caveat that I think most people would expect to get good recommendations after many fewer judgements. If I was going to productize it for consumers I'd probably use some kind of collaborative filtering (people who read these articles also liked X) as opposed to the content-based filtering it uses now (article X shares some characteristics with other articles you like) because I think it could cold-start for a new user more quickly but then it becomes another StumbleUpon, etc.
I think you can imagine the same kind of system could be used by anyone who is a "professional searcher". Instead of blog articles these could be resumes, or patents, or job listings, or scientific articles, etc. Personally I am more interested in this path for productization.
Does this sound interesting to you? I demo this system a lot and I can do it for you.
Scraping LinkedIn URLs is hard. I recommend that you either use a third party API like Scraper API or get domestic IPs with IP rotation. We are gonna launch our product in this week and you can test it out yourself. We would love to have your feedback on the product.
For most part, you completely understood my situation. As far as product is concerned, I spoke with those people who would be actually using it not the decision makers. Implementing the product is in the hands of management. I had an idea before reaching out to the customers but I took a pivot considering their needs as they are the ones using it. The management would take the product if it gives them business.
The product I created is a tool for recruiters to speed up their recruitment process by automating all the manual work done by them. The ones I spoke with before making the MVP loved the product and recommended more features that would help them. But selling it to them is hard as they are not the decision makers. May be I suck at sales or the way I am approaching them is not right.
Do you want to pitch demos, or do you want to sell software? I'll repeat myself, enterprises don't buy stuff unless it's certified to the standard they promise to their customers. SOC2 isn't the only compliance you'll need but it's definitely not the last. Enterprises have much higher standards than the small-time customers you might have imagined dealing with. If you're not already thinking about getting a security audit, you're not prepared for enterprise customers.
Actually I would go into that thing once I demo it to enterprises and they want the software. If I am able to lock one deal, I would get into this certification thingy as it is costly and time consuming. Do you have an enterprise software or did you go through the same path as I am right now? If yes, I would really want to know how you landed your first customer as it would be super helpful for me. Appreciate your insights.
There are several parts of that article that are wrong.. that's not what the acronym SOC[0] stands for, for example. And while, the result of a SOC2 audit is a report, and it's primarily from the financial industry (not the security industry) - SOC2 is an audit and not a report.
The link you provided for Wikipedia, even that says SOC means System and Organization, and also in brackets it is also known as Service Organization.
Regarding the rest of your comment:
- SOC2 Report: While it is true that SOC2 audits result in a report, it's important to clarify that the SOC2 framework was indeed developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and is primarily focused on the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a service organization’s systems. This makes it highly relevant to the security industry, even if it has roots in the financial industry.
- Audit vs. Report: The SOC2 process involves an audit where an external auditor assesses the controls in place. The outcome of this audit is a detailed report that evaluates how well an organization meets the trust service criteria. So, saying "SOC2 is an audit and not a report" is somewhat misleading, as the audit process culminates in the generation of the SOC2 report.
Could you please guide if I need SOC 2 audit before I lock a customer? Right now I don't have any. It doesn't feel right to spend this much money and time on something without having the surety that someone one would become a customer after it is SOC 2 compliant. Thanks
If just having a customer is the goal, before being in talks with a customer who really want you to be SOC2 compliant, its definitely a waste of your resources- time and money. I would suggest, when you find such customers, and they really like your product and an audit like SOC2 is what is behaving like a deal breaker, only then go for SOC2
Interesting. But ChronoFlow.ai is different than that. It's a tool for recruiters to track the timelines of each shortlisted candidates. It's a B2B SaaS tool.
Thank you for the interest. As you can see, it does record the url of the closed tab, but there is no way it can link back to the person. Anybody who installs the extension is just an ID to the system. The reason we decided to record the closed URLs is for analysis. Because we plan to launch a feature where AI is able to let you know of possible unsafe tabs in the future. We still don't have anyway to link this activity to the user itself because we don't have their details. I hope it makes sense.
