# Reverse Recruitment Platforms Rather Than Searching, Applicants on 'Hired' Get Job Offers By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-04-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hired References: [hired](https://hired.ca/) 'Hired' is a [job search platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openjobs-ai) that takes an approach that's different than comparable services. While most websites that help to connect people with potential employers require the user to apply for a posted position, Hired reverses the process. Hired begins by having its users answer a few questions and from there, companies pitch users offers where compensation is made clear. As well as being able to accept incoming offers with ease, users are eligible for a $1,000 bonus from Hired once a new job is secured. Currently, some of the employers on the platform include big brands like Groupon, Zappos, [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexi-ai) and [Forbes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox). Hired is a unique platform that provides a more streamlined way for recruiters to be matched up with relevant talents in the industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reverse Recruitment Platforms:** Hired's reverse recruitment approach disrupts traditional job search platforms by having employers pitch job offers to users. - **Streamlined Talent Matching:** Hired provides a more efficient way for recruiters to connect with qualified candidates by using a streamlined matching process. - **Incentivized Job Search:** Hired offers users a $1,000 bonus for securing a new job through their platform, creating an incentive for active job seekers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Job Search Platforms:** Reverse recruitment platforms like Hired are disrupting the job search industry by changing the traditional application process. - **Recruitment and Staffing:** Hired's innovative approach to talent matching presents disruptive opportunities for the recruitment and staffing industry. - **Career Development Services:** Platforms like Hired are transforming the way career development services operate, offering a more efficient and enticing job search experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Speedy AI-Powered Recruitment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiretual-recruitment-platform.md) - [Streamlined Hiring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bid2work.md) - [AI Hiring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hirey.md) - [AI Hiring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellowehire.md) - [Developer Recruitment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hivex-platform.md) - [Gamified Recruitng Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamified-recruitment1.md) - [Developer Career Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hacker-relay.md) - [Rapid Talent Matching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-hiring.md) - [Skill-Based Hiring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devpilot.md)
