What do King Charles, Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, and Bluco have in common? We were all featured in the same issue of the Evening Standard [July 17 2024] thanks to the Evening Standard's recognition of our solution to evolve recruitment into the mobile age 📲. Thanks again to AXA UK and the Evening Standard for this great opportunity. And a big thanks to @King Charles, @Donald Trump, and @Taylor Swift for sharing the paper with us - we wanted the cover, but His Majesty drives quite a tough bargain.

Bluco Wins the 2024 AXA Startup Angel Competition! 🎉🏆 This significant recognition from AXA and the Evening Standard, alongside the £25,000 prize, is an encouraging realisation of our commitment to revolutionising recruitment for the deskless worker.

We’re now one step closer to our goal of connecting workers to jobs within one week ⏳ A huge thank you to the AXA UK Startup Angels and all the judges for this opportunity. We’re looking very forward to begin our mentorship journey with Sharmadean Reid MBE, Dr. Raphael Sofoluke, and Henry David Firth and Ian Theasby.

SUNDAY is election day...and it is also the deadline for the next batch of the Founders Program! The current batch is one of the most incredible batches we've had at STATION F - the companies include repeat entrepreneurs like Eliott Reilhac (building Formality) and Clémentine Lalande (building kelvin) - who secured €8m and €4m respectively. They also include deeptech founders like Cyril Véran (building Darween), or international founders like Francisco De Latour & Nicolò Magnante (building Bluco). And many other incredible teams, building companies like Steerlab, Lasqo AI, Adorno AI, Leadbay, Renalto, Televet, Enobase, EXXA, GoDraft, Bampa, Mago, Swaive, Landng & Sonaar. Certain companies in the Founders Program can also qualify for a small founder-friendly investment from STATION F. If you know a great early-stage team - whether they be a repeat founder, international founder, first-time founder, working on AI, deeptech, whathaveyou, please encourage them to apply :) Oh...AND PLEASE VOTE!!!!!

📲 5 Facts on the need of 'mobile-first' recruitment in 2024 🤳🏻 According to the Pew Research Center, job seekers with smartphones heavily rely on them during the job search process. While 94% of people use their phones to look for jobs, only 23% use their phones to create resumes or cover letters. This limitation forces most candidates to switch between their phones and computers, making it less convenient to apply for jobs directly from their phones. ❌ This is an significant barrier candidates, which decreases the number of applications companies receive. Although the traditional use of submitting resumes and motivation letters has worked, with increasing mobile usage, the rate at which job seekers are converted into applicants has become far too low. 📆 Employers are aware of this. A new position now takes an average of 27 days to fill. 📵 However, it isn’t as simple as changing the website, but rather, it’s about changing the process to be ‘mobile-first’. 💬 The entire hiring process is demanding a change. A change that can convert employees and put them into the recruitment pipeline within minutes, not weeks. At Bluco, we are helping companies decrease their time-to-hire by 5x, by making recruitment ‘mobile-first’. Sources: Pew Research Center, SHRM, Glassdoor, Bluco
