Many tech companies collect data about potential employees via online application forms. But it's hard to know whether your answers are going to look competitive. Wouldn't it be great if you got feedback like the security checker on a password field? The goal of this project is to use the large database of applications to Entrepreneur First to train a live interactive form processor that gives feedback as you type on how employable you seem to be. Once the form is complete, it should return a visualised "employability map" that pinpoints how you stand in relation to all the other potential applicants - for example, using data gained from a business networking site like LinkedIn.
