Longbridge Recruitment 360

Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission appears to be a conflation of two distinct entities: 'Longbridge Group' (a Singapore-based fintech brokerage established in 2019 with $150M+ funding) and 'Longbridge Recruitment 360' (a UK-based recruitment firm established ~1989). The description and funding claims match the fintech, while the title and launch date match the recruitment firm. Additionally, the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. Due to these critical inconsistencies and the likely erroneous or low-effort nature of the submission, the score is heavily penalized despite the description detailing a legitimate business.
