Over the past several years, as technological breakthroughs such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) have progressed ruthlessly, many industries have struggled to keep up. In their desperation to embrace change, cut costs, and streamline efficiency, several sectors have risked losing what has made them special in the first place.
For example, while the hiring process has long been taxing and time-consuming for many businesses, the amount of human effort that goes into it is directly mirrored by the success of the result.
Hiring a new worker for your business is a big step, and your decision relies heavily upon relationship skills, gut instinct, and intuition—all factors that AI cannot account for. Despite this, many companies across numerous high-profile industries now hire exclusively through AI-fueled systems.
Fortunately, Talenver is looking to change all of that. The revolutionary social media site will serve as a final bastion of hope for those looking to forge real, authentic human connections.
Talenver is a unique networking site bringing something fresh and new to the social media world. It is a social networking site that blends two concepts:
- The site’s first major feature is a job posting field where users can showcase their talent and connect with potential employers interested in their niche.
- The second unique feature is that the platform also doubles as a dating service, connecting users to others who actively invest in the same kinds of art, creativity, and work that they do.
The Origins of Talenver
Talenver was a site born out of years of frustration. Founder Julia Lurie was routinely frustrated by the hiring process in several key creative fields, such as modeling or acting.
She says, “It felt like there were a significant number of roadblocks and not many resources on how to navigate the hiring process outside of having an agent. The process itself felt antiquated and discriminatory.”
This led Julia to come up with the concept for Talenver decades ago, just as social media was first starting to become a source for networking. She nourished that idea throughout the years but realized that the need for the site was now more pressing than ever before.
As AI took over the hiring process, Julia saw her initial frustrations grow even more complicated and challenging. Now, a quarter into the 21st century, Talenver is prepared to launch.
The Challenges of Launching Talenver
Talenver is a gargantuan endeavor, and Julia launched it as a sole proprietor. This was a colossal risk on her part, but she believed it was worth it. Julia took the leap of faith and, as a result, could retain full creative rights to the project.
Further challenges included organizing a team to understand and execute the vision, which was exceedingly difficult.
Finding the right timing to launch this project was even more cumbersome.
To help pay for the site, Julia opened and managed a medical spa in South Florida.
She says, “All my net worth from the spa went toward funding Talenver.”
The Benefits of Talenver
With Talenver, if you aren’t specifically looking for work but want to meet someone from your professional field, a romantic partner, or even a friend in your same line of work, you can do so on Talenver. The thorough verification process will eliminate catfishing, ensuring all members create honest and up-to-date profiles.
A discussion board also allows users to interact with one another and review their experiences, whether with an employer, what it was like working with someone, or even sharing current events relevant to their profile.
Subscribers will receive a resume concierge service for review, employment coaching, and connecting with potential employers. Those looking to hire talent will receive a similar service, predominantly focused on connecting them with individuals whose profiles best fit the work they are offering.
Final Thoughts
While AI has made many aspects of business and digital connectivity far easier and cheaper than ever, it has come at a significant cost. Talenver is striving to salvage authentic human interactions through digital connectivity. Whether it be the hiring process, dating, or simply cultivating a wider community with shared interests, Talenver is an online haven for people looking to form genuine connections.
