1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
David got sick of working in a big company and wanted a new job without the hassle of the job hunt. He met Zac and built Trevor to automatically search and apply for jobs for him and help him get a new job.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
- help people looking for a job find one more easily and take the stress and hassle out of the job hunt
- Help people already employed find new opportunities by taking the work out of looking for new roles
It does this by…
…trawling every job on the web and allowing users to either one-click apply for jobs or have Trevor apply on their behalf.
3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
Currently, a user must search across multiple job boards and apply for every job manually – a laborious process considering an estimated 75-90 per cent CVs are now automatically rejected by an Applicant Tracking System without a human ever seeing them!
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
- Automated cover letters
- Automatic search and apply (or one-click apply) for any job anywhere in the world
- Unlimited job applications
- Target specific companies
4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
Seek allows users to find jobs that companies have advertised with them. SimplyHired, Indeed, Adzuna and Linkedin allow job seekers to find jobs from (supposedly) anywhere on the web. Trevor allows job seekers to be automatically applied to any job on the web that’s relevant to them. Trevor’s killed the job board.
Its predecessors/competitors include…
Seek, SimplyHired, Indeed, Adzuna, Linkedin
5. TARGET MARKET
It is made for…
- Active job seekers (those actively on the job hunt)
- Passive job seekers (those already in a job, but unhappy and without time/energy for the job hunt)
It is available for sale through…
…our website at trytrevor.com. Users can get five free applications every month, or pay $10/month and get unlimited applications.
Our marketing strategy is to…
…attract active job seekers and retain them as passive job seekers when we help them get a job.
