Divum built a platform for an on-demand professional network that seamlessly enables businesses to manage applicants and other professionals in their hiring funnel. Further, help small, and big businesses manage their engagement requests (in this context, consultation requests, paid messages, surveys, and projects) to the point that they finalize the right set of professional(s) they'd like to work with for a particular request.
Divum designed a networking opportunity with industry leaders in relevant disciplines that can transform lives and aid businesses in pursuing qualified candidates. We created a network that facilitates on-demand connections between companies and professionals. We focused on essential features to maximize the platform's potential, including audio/video calls, a streamlined employment funnel, and more.
The story behind what we've built began with a simple question: Isn't it time we start breaking down the barriers preventing talented professionals from finding gainful employment? The answer is in the affirmative; it is indeed time.
A Forbes magazine article explains that many professionals are idle on the market and waiting for a call to action. For instance, hundreds of thousands of professionals have recently re-entered the workforce after raising children or taking care of elderly relatives in their homes.
The prospect of entering an office setting may be daunting for them. Some professionals worked part-time years ago, and the idea of a full-time job never materialized for them.
Divum's goal was to remove the barriers that prevent qualified professionals from finding gainful employment by putting on-demand business professionals in touch with one another.
