This will be terrible for introverts, minorities, people who don't like to be on video but great for attractive people, people who like to make videos, fakers

Also, the name is creepy, to me, for the following reasons:

* using the word date in a professional setting

* comparisons to tinder

* the candy part seems falsely alluring

* the candy part makes me think "don't take candy from strangers"

Hi @june_twenty, many thanks for the feedback!

Candydate’s targets are the hospitality and retail industries. Restaurants, cafes, hotels and stores in general. Basically, customer facing roles, where an interview is more nerve crunching than recording a short selfie at your own pace and time. So the idea was actually to give a chance if you are an introvert. Surely they can also just skip the video or point the camera elsewhere and just submit the old resume too...

* The "date" word sounds indeed "dating" but it relates to you being a candidate for a job, not dating ; ) But I get the point.

* My comparison to tinder here may not be the best I agree ; )

* Our tag line is "Recruitment Sweet as Candy" so the "candy" here is used to allure to the fact that videos are easier on the eye than reading a bunch of resumes or application forms, hence the candy idea. Also a rhyme/play with job candidate.

Again, any thanks on the feedback!

Try it out ; )

Those with high turnover rates and continuous hiring needs

Oh, _now_ I get the “candydating” name! The first association I got when reading the name was “sugar daddy”.
