The killer feature here could be aggregated data about individual recruiters. (Not reviews, data) What’s their close percentage? How likely are they to stay in communication? How much time and effort should I put in to the relationship?
I don’t even know what broke me — maybe the third “we’ll be in touch” with zero reply, maybe the recruiter who ghosted me after a final interview, or the one who just wanted me to drop names of managers I worked with.
But... I snapped.
I officially entered Petty Jobseeker Mode™.
I now keep a personal record of every recruiter who contacts me:
- Their name
- Company
- The role they pitched
- Whether they followed up
- And whether they ghosted, lied, or just wasted my time
It started out of spite.
Now it’s kind of like… my own little web app CRM for recruiter BS.
And guess what? It works. The same dude who ghosted me 8 months ago came back with a “hot new role.” I hit the log: “Nope. Ghosted me after 2nd round. Never again.”
I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just tracking patterns.
Some recruiters are solid. Most are chaos wrapped in business casual.
After talking about this on Reddit a bit, it turns out that there's a huge need for this tool to go public.
So I've started building it, I've got a landing page created and I'm about 30-40% way through converting the web app to be suitable for a userbase.
I've had 130k views on my reddit posts, 1000+ upvotes and over 140 comments of people begging for it.
It's going to be 100% free because screw charging candidates that are looking for a job.
With a bit of luck, I'll have it completed by the middle of May.
Feel free to give some feedback or sign up to the waitlist, y'all.
