A direct IT hiring platform. Companies search by stack and skills, candidates apply anonymously and reveal themselves only to the employers they answer. Messaging and offers happen inside the platform — no agencies, no middlemen.
The Challenge
Strong engineers rarely publish a CV in the open: a job search is visible to the current employer, and nobody wants that conversation early. Employers, meanwhile, pay agencies for applications that mostly miss. The market needed a shape where a candidate can browse openings while staying invisible, and a company can reach people directly.
Our Solution
We built the product logic around anonymity. A profile is hidden from search by default, and the company a person marks as their current employer stays excluded even after they open up to the market. The first move is always the candidate's — no cold calls out of nowhere. Data is shared only on explicit consent under Russian personal-data law. On top of that foundation sit the identity, the interface, and a React front end over Laravel and Inertia.
