The best SaaS opportunities aren't found in brainstorming sessions. They're found in Reddit threads where professionals are venting about their daily chaos. That's where this opportunity came from. Real pain, real demand, real opportunity. Who's building this? 🚀

This is what @SaaSFieldwork does: Thursday → Explore a real problem from the field Tuesday → Complete opportunity analysis From "recruiters are drowning" to "here's exactly how to build the life raft." Full brief:

The business model is proven: $299/month for small teams = 10-15 hours saved weekly = $1,600-2,400 in labor cost savings = 5-8x ROI With just 1% market share (2,000 companies), that's $7.2M ARR.

The Builder Brief includes: ✅ Complete competitive analysis (15+ companies mapped) ✅ Technical architecture for the MVP ✅ AI fraud detection patterns to implement ✅ Validation scripts for customer interviews ✅ Prototype designs you can test TODAY

Why hasn't someone won this yet? Tofu, Endorsed, Axira are trying but: Market is fragmented No clear winner yet Most are overbuilding the solution The winning play: Do ONE thing perfectly - separate real from fake.

The opportunity: An "AI Firewall" for recruiting Not another ATS. Not another assessment tool. A focused pre-filter that sits in FRONT of existing systems and eliminates the 95% noise before it reaches recruiters. Simple. Focused. Necessary.

The problem is massive: 200,000 companies drowning in spam applications Recruiters spending 80% of time on manual triage AI-generated resumes fooling ATS filters Same fake resume showing up 12 times in one morning Current tools aren't solving this.

From problem to opportunity in 5 days. Thursday: "Job boards are junkyards - recruiters getting 1,000 applications, 95% garbage" Today: The complete blueprint for building the solution Here's how to turn recruiting chaos into a $7.2M ARR opportunity 🧵

This is creating a massive opportunity for builders. I spent a week analyzing this problem and why it's about to birth a new SaaS category. Full analysis:

One recruiting team now spends 80% of their time on forensic investigation: Checking for VOIP phone numbers Verifying LinkedIn profiles exist Detecting AI-generated resumes Their job shifted from "evaluating talent" to "detecting fraud"

Candidates use AI to mass-apply → Recruiters get 1,000 applications → 950 are fake/unqualified → Real candidates get buried → Everyone loses The hiring funnel is completely broken.

The same resume template showing up 12 times in one morning. Same typos. Same fake certs. Different names. Random IPs. This isn't just spam. It's an AI arms race.

Job boards are a junkyard now. One recruiter just told me they got 1,000+ applications for a single role. 95% were garbage. Here's what's actually happening in recruiting right now 🧵
