Employment industry surely needs more transparency. At the moment, companies are not transparent about pay structures, role requirements, team culture and the feedback about companies on most free sites is not proper. Candidates or employees on the other hand exaggerate their achievements, lie about their skill-set etc. While reference checks can reveal a lot of true information, they are not 100% efficient. Lastly, recruitment consultants, assessing human skills by matching words on a CV to words on a job spec - highly inefficient way of hiring. Moreover, they also have a conflict of interest as they are more keen on filling a job than finding the right match. There is a lot that needs to be done to make hiring transparent. We need eharmony for recruitment - a scientific approach to matching candidates to the right job.

From the article, i can say that spring role benefits employers more than employees but if employees could get access to attrition rates of the company, management tenor at the company or exit interview stats, the platform could be equally beneficial for both employers and employees.

The idea is great. Spring role definitely adds value to a broken system that needs fixing. Transparency should attract users and employers and pre done reference checks would make hiring more efficient and fast for companies. If there can be a mathematical rating score for both employers and employees, this is a great platform.
