Why use this instead of...
—Job boards: it's overwhelming to search through the morass of listings on public boards. Good opportunities are hard to filter out from garbage, the search engines suck, and the entire process is time-consuming and impersonal. We provide instantaneous, high-quality customer service, are experienced at finding quality listings, and will work with you until you find a job.
—Recruiters: most third-party recruiters are employed by a small number of companies and will work to steer you towards those (so they can collect referral bonuses). It's also much more of a pain to work with one, requiring lengthy phone calls and meetings. We provide unbiased service and are always available via text.
Traction: We launched our public beta four weeks ago and have over 300 sign-ups, and have exchanged over 4,000 texts with our job-seeking users. Some of our first batch are progressing through interview processes that we helped setup. We talk to our users every day, by nature of the product, and they love it! (Unprompted customer testimonial: “You guys are so fantastic. I know I speak for thousands when I say THANK YOU”)
Team: I left business school to teach myself iOS development, and have been coding for the last 3 years. My cofounder is a Javascript/full-stack developer. We both have suffered through horrible job searches, and want to help people in our position.
Would love to hear your feedback.
