Blue Saturn Chronicle #5 - "It's complicated..."

Why the hiring process is hard, and how we're simplifying it

Welcome to the Blue Saturn Chronicle #5!

“It’s complicated”…

That’s been the answer from many on the latest job market. Whether you’re looking or hiring, the reality is that finding a job feels like a job in itself. And the recruiting for new hires is a highly complicated and stressful profession.

It shouldn’t have to be….

Blue Saturn is here to simplify this complicated process and we want to do that even before the product is launched! Our newsletter is here to shed light on new updates, jobs, and how we can help. The goal: to make things easy for everyone involved

Each week, I'm going to send out updates regarding:

👉️ New updates and job openings

👉 New opportunities in tech

👉 Agencies open to taking on new projects through our Blue Saturn Bullpen

👉️ Some wisdom to chew on

Today we’ll cover:

  • 👀 Product Updates

  • 👨‍💻 Hot jobs for candidates

  • 🧠 Something to chew on

  • 💬 Community

Product Updates

MVP 1.1: Q2/Q3 2023

  • The Blue Saturn Bullpen

The way it’ll work

  1. Outreach 👉️ Candidate outreaches to invite to roles and community

  2. Verify 👉️ Confirm identity & credentials through video call + verifier

Actively hiring multiple roles? As we launch our beta, we’re happy to post your active jobs and help you get connected with great people & partners through our matching engine.

Your feedback matters, so if there’s anything specific you’re looking for to make this process easier for you. Please don’t hesitate to share feedback directly.

The Blue Saturn Bullpen

There are brilliant software development companies each with their own superpowers ready to serve enterprises in!

Sometimes businesses need more than 1 personnel, so partnering with the right agency can bring incredible success

But finding the perfect match there is as hard as hiring as well…

So that is why we’re building the Blue Saturn Bullpen

The Bullpen will be an open database of verified software agencies across Latin America & Europe. They will be verified by our own Blue Saturn platform 🙂 

This will be a free database with profiles, open pricing ranges, verified skills, and call to actions to directly contact the teams.

Hiring should be simple… and transparent bridges will yield to those results.

Current pending as we are building these relationships with the right partners as we speak (ETA June 2023)!!

Something to chew on 🧠 

Learn niche skills and become the trainer. If society can train you, it can train someone else to replace you.

Naval Ravikant

It is often implied that those who build the future are the ones that can predict it.

And how best to predict your own future by aligning your education with the cutting edge.

Learning new skills, and skills across frontier tech, will guide you to a better career.

AI will not take away your job, but someone who knows AI will.

Embracing the mindset of always learning and then training what is unique, will always put you at the front of the line.
