About JobLink

Rethinking how
hiring begins

Great candidates are more than their résumés. Yet many hiring processes still make their earliest decisions based on limited signals — qualifications, past roles, keywords and application forms.

These signals are useful, but they do not always tell us enough about a person's motivations, working style, judgement or potential.

By bringing richer candidate signals earlier into the hiring journey, JobLink helps employers build a more holistic understanding of candidates before deciding who progresses.

Beyond the résumé

JobLink combines different perspectives of a candidate — including their intent, behaviour, working style, fit and responses to realistic workplace scenarios.

Rather than replacing the résumé, these signals complement it.

Why JobLink?

Our research into the hiring journey highlighted a recurring challenge: the signals that may tell us the most about a candidate often appear much later in the process. JobLink asks whether changing that sequence can improve hiring.

It's a simple shift — get better signals earlier.

Our Vision

We believe hiring should help organisations discover potential, not simply filter applications. Our goal is to create a hiring experience where candidates can be understood more holistically and employers can make earlier decisions with greater confidence.

Our Story

JobLink was developed as a capstone project under the NUS-ISS Master of Technology in Digital Leadership, in collaboration with Workforce Singapore (WSG) as project sponsor.

The concept was shaped through research with jobseekers, recruiters and employers across different industries, and developed iteratively into a working prototype to explore new approaches to early-stage hiring.
