Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

HireSide is a functional job search platform backed by WebHR, featuring geolocation-based job notifications. While the product and mobile apps exist, the submission is significantly undermined by unverifiable and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', '$75M market cap'). Verified traction is modest (thousands of hires vs. billions claimed). The project falls into the 'small but promising' category due to its backing and utility, but scores are heavily penalized for poor data quality and lack of credible evidence.
