What were the reasons! I am thinking what if Already job holders can benefit as well from such a service i.e negotiations with recruiters to gauge their true market value and potentially make a move due to unexpected market conditions.

I know someone online who worked at major company and was laid off after covid and he was looking for a job and could not find one as his linkedln profile was super outdated plus he was too old for hustling the job market

What do you think?



I'm 49 and got laid off in august, so i'm willing to try anything. usemassive was expensive though $89/mo which I can justify if I'm getting interviews, but I wasn't.


Ok If you are comfortable emailing me, I will keep you in mind and send you the invite link when it opens.The service would be free for You for 3 months!


sure you can email me: anthony@profullstack.com


some insights

hiring people comes from 3 sources

1. direct applicants who found your job listings

2. aplicants referred by people already working at the same firm

3. applicants who are poached / headhunted, where the recruiter reached out to them

1 has a lot of noise, 2 and 3 has better signal. on 2 referrer people put their reputation on the line, on 3 they earn commission on successful hires so recruiters do it well too.

create a platform that allows #3 instead. example? somewhere.com.
