Switch Tech Talent is a standard UK-based recruitment agency launched in 2023, not a technology product. The submission contains significant inaccuracies, including listing the project name as 'StarHunter' (likely their ATS software provider) and making objectively false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the agency appears to be a legitimate small business with client testimonials, it lacks technical innovation and the submission quality is critically low.
