Show HN: SPOTLYTT - STANDOUT AND GET DISCOVERED BY SKILLS

https://spotlytt.com
1•pbs29•1h ago
Hello Everyone,

I built Spotlytt (www.spotlytt.com). Looking for everybody to try it out. Not marketing and promoting here. As of now only 3 users have signed up from the launch date (i.e. 24th Feb,2026). 30-40 unique visitors daily.

Just looking for straight feedback, if you guys might be interested in trying out something new in professional networking. Website is live. Have to take little pain to sign up but still can try it out. All functions are working.

WHY I AM PURSUING THIS IDEA.

------PROBLEM STATMENT----- Existing platforms are broken and everyone knows it. The feed, posts, stories don't really show what candidates can actually do. They are just text or bad content based formats and it is very difficult for anybody to standout or get a chance to demonstrate their true value of what they bring to the table.

Candidates - No dedicated space to talk about only SKILLS. - Stuck applying to many companies and cold emailing. - No real insight on mistakes in resumes or job applications. - No responses in direct messages. - Difficult to standout in a crowded job market between millions of users. - Lengthy Job Searches. - Spend most time optimising resumes for each role.

Recruiters and Companies - Difficult to find skilled professionals. - Flooded with multiple resume, job profiles and applications. - No better way to directly assess candidates. - Dependent too much on ATS for high volume applications. - High recruitment costs.

-----SOLUTION----- Spotlytt is a dedicated platform where candidates (students, job seekers, experienced professionals) can actually show their skills through short videos and audios of 20-90 seconds.

When you put yourself out there, it is 40x POWERFUL to see the real you rather than the noise created by resumes and job applications.

Candidates Wins - Increases visibility by "SKILLS". - Direct feedbacks on mistakes. - No editing every time for new job application. - Learning by watching others. - Quick and Easy to apply.

Recruiter/Companies Wins - Discover diverse talent beyond traditional filters. - Access a curated feed of verified professionals. - See candidates in action before interviews. - Reduce time-to-hire with video screening. - Gives more control on hiring decisions.

If anyone has any questions or anything to ask, feel free to add or comment or contact me.

Yet you chose to use that screaming, upper case only title.

> it is 40x POWERFUL

Citation needed.

> The upper case was written intentionally, so that the post wouldn't get buried. I understand now how that would have come across.

> On "40x" was to demonstrate impact, not a published statistic. If I frame it something as measurable, I should back it with data. The goal is to test whether demonstrated skill (video/audio) may build trust and signal faster than text profiles.

Appreciate you for flagging both the points.

If you want, check out the Future of Jobs 2025 report by World Economic Forum. The report highlights the growing shift towards skill based hiring by demonstrating your skills. The medium (videos and audios) are possible ways to support that shift which I am trying.
