The insight
Hiring through a recruiter costs companies 30% of your first year's salary. Apply direct through their ATS and they pay nothing — which means you start from a stronger position before the first interview.
The good roles never get listed publicly because those companies don't need to pay to find talent. We find them anyway.
Via recruiter or job board
20–30% of salary
fee to the platform
Via company's own ATS
Zero. The company
keeps everything.
This changes the calculation before your first interview.
Language filter

Every listing is scored for English language signals from the job title and description. One toggle to show only roles where English is the actual working language — not just a listed preference.

The problem
Two paths dominate: recruiters who won't return your calls because you're not profitable, and job boards flooded with unqualified applicants that the best companies abandoned years ago. We built a third path.
