Hello world!
We hope the story, journey, and, finally, the product is something you all enjoy! As a lurker, it's exciting to be on this side of the conversation!
*TL;DR*: We built Taloop, a free app that sends hidden, high-fit job suggestions directly to your phone every day. It was born out of our deep frustration with the current job market.
The Problem We Solved
Like many of you, we dreaded the job search. As professionals in fields where the best roles are often found through networking, relying on outdated job boards was a massive time sink. It was nearly impossible to know what truly suitable roles were available outside of our direct networks.
We knew there had to be a better way.
The Solution: Hidden Role Discovery
We set out to create a solution that was easy, smart, and free to use. After extensive testing, we realised the most crucial missing feature was hidden role discovery.
Taloop's smart search focuses on roles that are usually unknown to people outside those specific industries. This is the secret to finding your "dream job"—you can't apply for what you don't even know exists!
Your Daily Dose of Discovery
Taloop is a free tool that sends personalised, daily job suggestions straight to your phone, based on the skills and interests you enter.
Beyond just a title, we provide a detailed job market analysis and breakdown for every role. This gives you a complete picture, ensuring that when you discover a job, you know if it truly is your next big move.
As two "9-to-5ers," launching this product is a dream come true, and we hope it helps everyone struggling to navigate today's challenging job market.
The app is live tonight (12 am PST)! But the journey alone felt like a win we felt we truly needed!
Any and all feedback is welcome!
This is such a relatable story — love that you turned personal frustration into something genuinely useful. 🙌 The “hidden role discovery” idea is super clever; most job apps just recycle the same listings, so this feels fresh. Huge congrats on the launch — can’t wait to check out Taloop tonight!
Thank you!
This is awesome — love the motivation behind it! 🎉 The job search struggle is so real, especially when great roles never even make it to public boards. Hidden role discovery sounds like a game-changer, and the daily personalized feed is such a smart touch. Congrats on launching — can’t wait to give Taloop a try!
Thank you! I hope it does help the people who faced the same issues. Please let me know your feedback!
sounds like a great idea, i have found it really frustrating trying to find jobs that would suit me.
Thank you! Yes! Especially this year, I feel like job boards became more unhelpful when it came to that. I hope this bridges the gap
Awesome idea!
thank you!!
Hey — this looks super interesting! I really like the idea behind Taloop and how it’s positioned. A couple of questions came to mind:
What’s your biggest challenge currently in getting user traction?
Do you have a roadmap for new features (or any you’re especially excited about)?
How are you handling feedback from early users so far?
Wishing you the best with this — and looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
Thank you!
I would have to say keeping the initial interest. You are going to get interesting results from day one, but you have to remain around until the third day to see how exactly it works, and how it benefits you.
Yes! But it all depends on the feedback, we are already receiving helpful feedback that we're reviewing before we move ahead!
Early users have been open about their opinions on the app, and like I said, some has been interesting enough that it might affect the upcoming additions. But, the testers' feedback still gets credit for how the current product feels. Fortunately, we are yet to hear someone who had a terrible experience, and no crashes so far so we're happy! (fingers crossed)
Very Helpful
Thank you!
Congrats on launching this 👏🏽 As someone also building in the job space, I really relate to the frustration that pushed you to build this. Love the hidden role angle — this space needs more fresh solutions
Thank you! Exactly! Hopefully you and I can be the change needed in this area!
I like the idea, do you need an investor tho ?
Thank you! So far I think we are too early for that, we still have a lot of things we'd like to implement before we move to that.
Sounds helpful.
Thank you! I hope it does help people find what they're looking for
Thank you!
