WorkBuddy has laid the foundation with the development of the first version of the app. Our mission in the next step is to make the initial interaction between companies and applicants even more playful and visual. Beyond text and numbers, there is a space that thrives on emotions, visualization, and impressive experiences—the Metaverse. Welcome to the evolution, welcome to WorkBuddy 2.0.
WorkBuddy was born out of job seekers' need for authentic information about companies and positions. Our solution? Direct and anonymous chat with employees from the specialist departments, the WorkBuddys. These enable honest insights into the daily work routine, simplify the selection process, and revolutionize the way companies and job seekers interact.
WorkBuddy represents the direct connection between prospective candidates and companies. We create an atmosphere of trust where genuine experiences can be made. This foundation of trust enables all participants to make smart and sustainable decisions and to build long-term partnerships.
Nonverbal communication is just as important as verbal, and therefore a crucial resource is currently not being utilized in the recruiting process—the visual orientation. Both steps have in common that they can easily be combined with a gamified approach, making the job search more fun.
Gamified job search: Transforming the recruitment experience with visual and interactive elements, including a 2-D visual thesaurus and voice-activated onboarding powered by AI.
