Hipo was definitely helpful for me given the fact that I was looking for a job platform that was not an Indeed, Monster or LinkedIn. I liked the concept of picking jobs based on skills rather than uploading a resume - it opened my eyes to positions I did not know existed. I have already recommended Hipo to a few of my friends/family who have started looking for job opportunities here.
