Key Pain Points

Low technical defensibility -- core matching models are easy to reproduce with open-source ML and LLMs, so differentiation must come from proprietary outcome data and network effects.
Regulatory & compliance complexity -- cross-border hiring, EOR regulations and contractor classification add operational and legal risk.
Platform trust & bias concerns -- marketplaces must avoid introducing or amplifying bias in AI matches, which can lead to reputational and legal issues.
