JobNex
Jobs don't find people. Until now.
JobNex is an AI-powered reverse hiring marketplace where companies discover and compete for talent — not the other way around.
Candidates create anonymous skill profiles in 60 seconds. No name, no photo, no company history — just verified skills, experience, and potential. AI matches them with relevant companies who must disclose salary before reaching out.
Candidates stay anonymous until they choose to engage. No more application black holes. No recruiter spam. No bias.
For employers: access a pre-verified talent pool with AI match scoring. No agency fees. Connect directly with candidates who fit your needs.
Privacy-first. GDPR compliant. Resumes parsed by AI and immediately deleted.
Built for professionals who deserve better than the current system.
## Problem
Hiring is broken from both sides. Candidates get spammed by recruiters with irrelevant roles. Companies waste months sourcing through job portals / platforms, paying $20-30k agency fees, and still hiring the wrong people. The information asymmetry favors recruiters who add no value.
## Solution
We flip the model:
- Candidates create anonymous, skill-verified profiles (no names, no companies) in 2 minutes — AI parses their resume and builds a structured profile
- Employers browse, get AI match scores, and send interview requests with salary/equity upfront
- Candidates stay anonymous until they accept — no spam, no bias, no leverage loss
The employer pays when they connect. Candidates are free forever.
## How it works
1. Candidate uploads resume → AI extracts skills, generates anonymous profile, estimates market value
2. Employer searches talent pool → sees match scores, skills, experience — no names
3. Employer sends interview request with comp details upfront
4. Candidate accepts/rejects from a position of power
5. Identity revealed only after mutual opt-in
## Market
- Global recruitment market: $650B+ (Staffing Industry Analysts)
- Direct hire fees alone: ~$150B annually
- Initial target: European tech market (€60-180k roles), expanding to US

The part I'd keep questioning is whether the problem is actually the hiring process or the incentives around it.
Those can look identical at first.
A lot of marketplaces end up attracting people who agree with the story while behaving very differently once they're inside the system.
I'd be paying very close attention to where belief and behavior start to diverge.
