Access consultant profiles programmatically
This is ongoing work - an MVP showcasing what's possible when we flip the switch on recruiting.
Too often, through LinkedIn or email, we receive messages saying our profile "looks perfect" and asking us to send a CV. Then silence. We fill in the same information across multiple legacy systems, doing recruiters' administrative work, while our data remains locked in platforms we don't control.
Time to flip it. Instead of chasing opportunities, we provide constantly updated, machine-readable profiles. Recruiters can pull data into whatever system they use. No more copy-pasting into forms. No more PDF attachments lost in inboxes.
LinkedIn doesn't let us easily access our own data through an API - our professional history is effectively trapped. But today, with AI, we can reclaim our source of truth. We can still copy-paste to LinkedIn when needed, but we're no longer forced to use a GUI as our primary interface. Our data. Our schema. Our API.
This API is simply an example of how things could work. Imagine recruiters fetching profile data directly via API, populating their forms with information that's always current, easily importing into their templates and systems. No manual data entry, no stale PDFs, no repeated requests for "an updated CV."
Of course, for this to truly work at scale, it would need to become a standard - an open schema that freelancers and recruiters alike could adopt. Maybe one day? For now, this is just a small experiment showing what's possible.
Fun times ahead.
