Do you think Canadian operators would use a platform that enables them to view multiple job seekers' qualifications on a single screen, sort candidates based on preferences such as total time, PIC time, time on type, and filter out unqualified candidates, as well as send out job offers?

What other ways are there to simplify the hiring process?

Simple database programs have been able to do this for years. Like on the GOOD aviation hiring sites where you upload your resume and the fields autopopulate (vs the other way when after you fill out your entire life story they want a resume and cover letter too).

Pretty sure today you could get ChatGPT or whatever to go through and quickly eliminate all of the resumes where pilots are still using decimal points for hours and don't have an ATPL.

When you only get one or two resumes, the more difficult task is performing the financial and risk analysis of training an unqualified candidate, paying the extra training and insurance rates required, appeasing the customer or getting exemptions from contract/contrail/bars requirements, and hoping they pass their PPC and line indoctrination and don't generate too many incidents or accidents.

I think any platform that simplifies the process and allows for easy sorting and filtering of candidates based on specific criteria would be welcomed by many. However, it's important to keep in mind that such a platform would need to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of users. It's interesting to see how companies are using social media platforms, even TikTok, to post job postings. Instagram stories with the caption "click here to apply for a job" seems like a creative way to attract potential candidates. I really don't know if using social media to find a candidate can really work well and bring a deserving employee into a company.

Charge companies to access it (they’re already paying for wasted time in HR or for their own IT departments to run crappy databases) and put a small subscription fee or something on the pilot end to cut down on fake applications.

Don't expect any significant technological jumps in this industry, I literally had to fax a resume to an operator only 10 years ago. Though I have heard some might grudgingly adapt BBM soon.
