Local hiring,
done right.
Small team, big plan. Local businesses deserve better than enterprise HR. We're building it.
Local hiring is broken.
Local hiring hasn't changed in 20 years. You pay $89/mo to a board nobody trusts. You write a JD nobody reads. Then you skim PDFs that tell you nothing about anybody.
Meanwhile the cooks, baristas, line workers, and contractors who would actually crush those jobs are stuck on apps built for software engineers. They don't have a polished LinkedIn. They have a story.
Local jobs aren't corporate jobs. They shouldn't share the same pipeline.
Three principles that
shape everything we build.
People over paper
A 30-second video says more than a 2-page résumé. So we start there.
Local means local
The best gigs are five minutes from your couch. We rank by distance, not by algorithm.
Pricing without games
Applicants pay zero. Businesses pay a flat rate. No per-app fees, no surprise charges, no sales calls.
The basics.
