Finding qualified talent for a position requires the recruiters to execute loads of manual work,such as sending emails and screening through tons of CVs pouring in.

After applying for a position,Job seekers can answer a series of questions provided by the job provider in a video form recorded in the KUPU app. Job seekers can also enhance their profile by bringing the skills they put in their CVs to life through the video. For instance,demonstrating coffee-making skills as a barista,a salesperson doing a presentation,a motion graphic artist displaying demo reels,and many more,providing a real-time view of job seekers' abilities. Similarly,job providers can also upload a 30 to 60 seconds long video in their business profile or job posting to provide a dynamic picture of their working environment.
