App: Proven
Proven, co-founded by Pablo Fuentes, is an app so ingenious that it inspired rapper Nas to invest during the seed funding round in 2013. Fuentes realized that while there are numerous options to search for white collar jobs, there were few resources for blue-collar workers to search for opportunities. Enter Proven.
The Proven app streamlines the hiring process for the hospitality industry by allowing restaurant and hotel employers to post jobs and easily manage applicant information directly from the app. Proven also features interview scheduling to automatically send reminders and follow up with applicants.
