Workruit, the Tinder-like job app, hopes to reduce hiring woes

Workruit believes the future of recruiting will improve in efficiency and ease, and they'd like to be on the forefront of that hope - using a Tinder-styled swipe app, the AI-based platform reducing hiring time dramatically for its users.
