New Enquiry
An organisation wants to unlock your full profile.
Accept shares your chosen details. Decline shares nothing.
Most job boards ask people to shout into the void.
This flips the model: people opt in, stay in control, and are contacted with intent.
Permission-based. No scraping. No spam. Your details stay locked unless you approve a request.
What Is This?
This is a reverse job board.
Instead of hiring teams posting roles and hoping the right person applies, people post themselves.
Organisations can:
- Browse talent by skills, location, interests.
- Send an enquiry, not an unsolicited email.
- Only see full details once permission is granted.
Individuals can:
- Stay private or public
- Control who contacts them
- Decide when to share their CV
What happens after you join?
Create your profile
It takes 60 to 90 seconds. Verification is quick.
Your profile goes live
Biodata is visible immediately, but your contact details stay hidden until you approve a request.
Organisations request access
Verified hiring teams browse by skills and send permission requests.
You accept or decline
You are in control. Decline? They see nothing. Accept? They get your details.
Total control
Switch off enquiries anytime. Delete your data instantly.
The Problem
It's a matching failure.
Right Now
- • Candidates say they "never hear back"
- • Job descriptions are bloated
- • Application processes are exhausting
The Reality
Good people opt out entirely. This is not a talent shortage. It is a system designed for noise, not signal.
How this works differently
People list themselves
Short profile. Clear skills. Human language. No fluff.
Organisations browse
No guessing. No CV trawling. No LinkedIn cold spam.
Permission unlocks details
Only when you agree. Enquiries go through the platform.
