Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that flags recruitment sites requesting payment or sensitive financial data during the application process.
  2. A verification service that allows job seekers to securely share third-party verified background check reports instead of providing raw ID and credit card data to recruiters.
  3. A standardized 'Truth-in-Recruitment' platform policy that mandates users have full editorial control over all AI-generated resume content.
