Our commitment to job seekers

Job seekers, we're committed to making your job search experience a breeze. Please, note the following four things:

  1. We never ask you to register or fill out an application form with a million questions. Everything is in your resume, and if job posters have questions, they can and should follow up with an interview. That's what an interview is for!
  2. We never direct you to various third-party websites or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) where you have to register or fill out the same huge application forms again and again and again
  3. We use Ajax to submit your resume, and here's the zest of our website
  4. By default, we save your application information in local storage. If your cover letter is generic enough, you'll save a few keystrokes when you apply for another job!
