CareerFruits - The name has originated back on 2007 when I was thinking about how one can make his/her career more fruitful. The thought of CareerFruits was originally to create a platform where Jobs and Candidates are treated more humanly than just piece of text and bunch of excel sheets.

As part of my role I used to work day long on various job portals to find candidates based on a search criteria. Now that search criteria was very trial & error kind of story. I had to try 10 different things to find a meaningful list of candidates. I found it really boring and tiring. It used to frustrate me and I was spending more time in finding information vs actually building relationships with the candidates. I would rephrase it and say "I was loosing my time on finding information". Secondly - there was no way to provide rating/review on a resume. Shortlisting or marking a resume for review later was definitely a possibility but commenting on a resume or assigning some custom tags of my own so that I can sort them later etc... was more of a dream. So essentially - I had tons of resumes with no way to sort. It used to take hours to search and find the right candidate.

Moreover - the resume database access is a paid service. You get access to the database from any job portal when you pay a handsome fee. You get multiple such database accesses to make sure you have good pool to search against. However - In practice, you will note that you just get resume database access and all you do is search and download. All your process interview scheduling/tracking etc. takes place after this.

Even as a job seeker, I do need to fight some of these issues. I find that Jobs are hard to find. The search either takes too many parameters or takes too much of input to find a job. Moreover - I have to upload 10 different things and signup with the site to apply for the job. There are tons of websites out there and everyone wants my resume / profile details.
