The job search landscape has remained largely stagnant for decades. Despite advances in artificial intelligence (AI) transforming sectors from healthcare to finance, recruitment still leaves millions frustrated, overwhelmed, and often demoralized. Job seekers today face a process that can span months, with endless applications yielding little success. Glide is here to change that narrative.
Created by Shubhankar, a seasoned recruiter with extensive experience in industries like aerospace, IT, and pharma, Glide offers a fresh approach to job hunting—one that leverages cutting-edge AI to create a seamless and empowering journey for job seekers.
Why Glide?
The statistics speak volumes about the challenges faced by both job seekers and employers:
- Prolonged Search Times: Job seekers take an average of 5-6 months to find roles, often navigating through irrelevant job listings and incomplete applications.
- Emotional Impact: 97% of unemployed individuals report experiencing severe stress and anxiety during their job search, with 74% also citing financial strain and mental health struggles.
- Recruitment Inefficiencies: Employers spend weeks searching for talent, yet 69% report difficulty finding candidates with the right skills and qualifications.
- Hidden Job Market: Up to 80% of job opportunities are never posted publicly, leaving countless candidates in the dark about potential roles.
Glide was born to solve these problems with an approach that prioritizes efficiency, personalization, and empowerment.
The Broken System: A Crisis of Mismatch and Mismanagement
The traditional job search model is deeply flawed. Candidates invest significant time tailoring resumes and writing cover letters, only to face rejection or radio silence. Automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can eliminate as many as 75% of resumes before a human even reviews them
Moreover, evolving technologies have rendered technical skills obsolete every five years, leaving many candidates struggling to keep up with shifting industry demands. For workers, this creates a double-edged sword: not only do they have to stay relevant, but they also have to find platforms that value their unique capabilities amidst a sea of algorithms and automation

The Numbers That Prove the Need for Change
The current state of job searching is inefficient and costly, both emotionally and economically:
- 70% of candidates feel burnout during job searches due to prolonged processes and lack of feedback.
- 45% of professionals abandon job applications halfway due to complex or non-user-friendly systems.
- Technical skills require updates every five years, but traditional job boards don’t provide insights to help workers identify gaps or opportunities.
Glide addresses these gaps with actionable solutions backed by technology, enabling users to focus on growth instead of frustration.
