The
Challenge
Speeding Up AEC Recruiting by 80%
Strive, a trailblazing startup in the AEC industry, saw a glaring problem in how professionals and companies connect and collaborate.
Traditional networking methods were a hassle—inefficient, time-consuming and often missed the mark. Professionals had a hard time showcasing their specialized skills and companies struggled to find the right talent for niche projects.
Strive’s vision was to create a platform where individuals and companies could effortlessly connect based on their unique skill sets and needs.
The goal? Privacy and exclusivity, all while building a seamless system to match users with the right opportunities. But there was a challenge—creating a system that supported such detailed, skill-based matchmaking without compromising privacy and visibility.
