Workplace Culture Has Changed, So Has Recruitment.
Current job search and hiring platforms do not enable creative individuals to showcase their professional value.
The current job matching system doesn't cater to the value alignment needs of Gen Z
In 2023, young creative professionals are looking to form a meaningful connection to their place of work by ensuring alignment of core values and workplace culture. Mis-alignment of those leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction and disassociation of the employee and the organisation.
Gen Z Job Seeker Archetypes
The Seeker
The Seeker is a committed worker who values freedom and diverse experiences. They are enthusiastic and embrace tasks whole-heartedly but may occasionally struggle with uncertainty and lack of direction.

The Soul Kin - A Professional Identity

After answering a series of questions, the user is assigned a Soul Kin and the user can explore more about their professional strengths and weaknesses, explore organisations that align with their Soul Kin and get job recommendations.
