Blind's premise is to provide a social networking hub where professionals can connect anonymously online for frank discussion and honest career advice. With the assurance of anonymity, users can offer more accurate and transparent feedback and guidance to employers, peers, and prospective colleagues.
With workers no longer tied to the office, Blind has been able to grow and developing on its initial offering fast. For example, by leveraging the anonymity of the platform to conduct surveys that should yield more honest results. On top of this, the company offers employers the chance to tap into the honest conversations happening on its platform, which could prove vital for companies looking to keep abreast of the swiftly-changing trends in employee expectations, and to attract the best talent.
Blind's community is active and engaged, with its anonymity making it attractive to in-demand professionals who may not want to use a platform like LinkedIn due to the volume of cold outreaches. In light of this, the company has entered the recruitment market with the launch of Talent by Blind, a pay-when-you-hire recruitment platform for hiring engineers and tech professionals, that users can opt in to. It will be interesting to see how they develop this side of the business into the future.
