Silicon-Valley based serial techpreneur and Hotmail Co-Founder, Sabeer Bhatia, has launched a purpose-driven social video messaging platform - ShowReel(link). Inspired by purpose and driven by conversation, ShowReel is a manifestation of Sabeer’s altruistic vision of positively impacting lives with tech disruptions. ShowReel, a simulation of offline human interactions into the virtual world, aims to empower people to achieve their truest potential by democratizing free access to mentors like Sabeer Bhatia and ultimately enabling employment and upskilling opportunities for job seekers across the globe at some of the leading companies. 

Currently operating in Beta mode, Sabeer founded ShowReel to match job seekers with companies struggling to find talent. To enable upskilling, network building, and hiring, Sabeer leveraged the power of video and the potential of access and conversations to bring job seekers and companies on the same platform and create impact.  

Sabeer Bhatia, Co-Founder, ShowReel, said, “Since the genesis of my entrepreneurial journey, building purpose-driven tech has been my driving force. This pursuit started with connecting millions of people across borders with Hotmail and today found its realization with ShowReel. ShowReel aims to bring conversations alive and drive real value for job seekers and companies alike. Imagine having the best resources at your disposal and access to the best companies to find the best-suited job and at the other end the opportunity to simplify your hiring process with video resumes! By just enabling access, ShowReel will be able to work towards the greater good of millions of people. In its next phase, ShowReel will leverage AI to analyze collected data and drive actionable insights for the audience. As we grow, we will empower people with conversations and opportunities that go beyond employment and upskilling.”

With ShowReel, job seekers will be able to create professional videos of themselves in response to questions posed by mentors or hiring companies. The app then stitches these responses together to create a professional ShowReel. Emulating real-life scenarios, these questions will help people looking for guidance across professional, personal, leadership, and entrepreneurial growth an opportunity to prepare and self-improve. With partner companies coming on board to solve hiring challenges, the professional ShowReels will enable job seekers to market themselves and land their dream jobs. Available on Play Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), Showreel is onboarding some of the top recruiters.
