Key Points:

  • A bot regularly scrapes 4.1 million jobs directly from company websites and uses ChatGPT to summarize and categorize each job.

  • Doesn’t allow companies to post directly

  • Bans recruiting agencies and 3rd party consulting shops (especially the offshore ones)

  • There is a filter for “Easy or Lengthy apply” that lets you filter out applications links to sites like Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, and all the other shitty ones.

Why I like it so far:

  • Your saved jobs are all on a single infinitely scrolling page (as opposed to LinkedIn that only shows you a few of your jobs per page

  • Boolean filters- easily customizable boolean filters

  • Saved searches and a daily digest of your saved searches to your inbox

  • No promoted jobs like LinkedIn, no recruiter is posting jobs here, no shitty companies like Agoda spamming the board with Bangkok jobs listed in the wrong city.

Overall my job hunting process is much more streamlined. I created a few saved searches based on boolean filters and filtering out lengthy applications like Workday, then saved a bunch of jobs and hid the ones I don’t like. The time savings is substantial and really fast and easy because of how streamlined the site is and also because of the lack of recruiter posted spam jobs and irrelevant ‘promoted’ jobs.

I was able to search for and apply for around 25 jobs in the time it takes me to find and apply for 10 on LinkedIn.

    I think this is a + use case for AI. It’s in the “Not like that” realm of use cases

    I’ve had to enter applications into Workday for my last two jobs - but that was also applying for things through my network so not just blindly applying.

    Wouldn’t removing companies that use Workday for hiring reduce a huge chunk of positions people might be interested in?

    Or is that hiring really at such a bad state right now that it’s not worth someone’s time to apply anywhere that uses Workday?

      Yes, hiring is really at such a bad state right now that it’s not worth my time filling out another application through Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, ADP, eightfoldAI, OracleCloud, SuccessFactors, ADP, those stupid slow application chatbots that ask you one question at a time while and make you wait an excruciating amount of time while it loads the next questions (seriously who thought that making an application form into a chat bot questionnaire was a good idea, that PM should fired and blacklisted), and all the horrible ATS I have yet to encounter.

      • Why waste my time when I can apply for more jobs without the headache?
      • Workday is currently under investigation for AI bias.
      • I’ve applied to 1000+ jobs globally over the last year and haven’t had a single interview through a company that uses a shitty ATS.
      • I wouldn’t want to work for a company that uses Workday, etc and disrespects its prospective employees.
      • Companies that use applicant friendly ATS like BambooHR, Ashby, Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, BreezyHR, LinkedIn Easy Apply, are more likely to value my skillset, are the ones actually interviewing me, and I would rather work for those companies too.

      There’s an entire subreddit dedicated to how shitty the job search is right now, a lot of gems like this to commiserate in our trauma bonds.

      is that hiring really at such a bad state right now

      Yes, people are losing their houses, cars. I had to move back in with my retired parents. Tons of long term unemployment. Job posts get 100+ applicants in the first day and thousands of applicants in the first week.

      Trump tarriffs, Muskrat DOGE layoffs, several years of tech layoffs and LLM induced layoffs. Its rough out there.

    This is amazing, I’m not actively looking but this makes it look so much better that I might actually consider mobilization. I’ve also shown it to some friends looking and they love it.
