Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

GeekHunter is a verified, high-traction recruitment platform in Brazil, acquired by US-based Howdy.com in 2023. While the submission quality was extremely poor (making hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'), external validation confirms a team of ~125 employees, a talent pool of ~400,000 professionals, and significant revenue potential (part of a combined entity targeting $35M annual revenue). The score reflects the high real-world utility and proven market success, penalized moderately for the lack of specific technical details and the low-effort submission.
