New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Candix, a confidential, reverse recruiting platform 35 It's a site where you describe your ideal next job and get approached by top-paying startups. It’s confidential, ensuring that your current employer won’t find out. It's free for candidates, while we charge companies for access to the pool. They’re charged a subscription fee, not a traditional success fee, because it’s the only way to remain forever candidate-centric and not obsessed with placing profiles at any cost, like agencies are. I'm opposed to the AI trends in recruitment. Recruitment is opaque and needs more humanity in the process, not less. Consequently, we're stubborn about keeping humans involved at every level, from onboarding to support. This results in high operational costs, which we are working hard to streamline. Confidentiality is what truly sets Candix apart. It's a tricky concept in recruitment, though, as it needs to be balanced with recruiters' need to know about your background to make hiring decisions. Our approach is to protect access to the pool with NDAs and limit profile visibility to relevant companies only. Additionally, we limit points of access to one per company and thoroughly monitor all recruiter activity on the site to prevent any leakage. For those who are not open to receiving offers, one interesting feature is the option to mark your profile as unavailable. Interested companies won’t reach out, but they will be able to place an alert on your profile to be notified when this changes, effectively boosting your future search. We operate in the US and European markets, helping people connect with over seventy companies, such as OpenAI and Ramp. What do you think about the tool and its positioning? https://ift.tt/OZX4EKY
