TalentHunch — The First Week
My latest startup, TalentHunch, relaunched one week ago. Here’s how it’s going so far.
The good news: Using the last week’s worth of data I know that the job suggestion algorithm is working. The average number of dismissals per generated suggestions is trending slowly downwards at this stage.
The bad news: New user acquisition is slow and retention is low. The primary way to get potential users to the site right now seems to be through paid social media advertising, and as you’ll see in the stats below, this is not the most affordable option.
The traffic spikes on the graph below correlate to the relaunch combined with a Show HN post (7th), a Twitter Awareness Ad Campaign (11th), and a Twitter Conversions Ad Campaign (12th).
