A RECRUITER + AN ENGINEER. WE BUILT THE OPPOSITE.

The job market,flipped.

Cover letters to strangers. Whiteboard performances. Weekend take-homes. Then ghosted. We thought that was stupid. So we flipped the whole thing. Companies apply to you now.

The zig

Recruiters got paid. You got ghosted.

The system wasn't broken by accident. It was designed to work for agencies, not for you.

Applied into the void

0applications

0 replies. The agency got their commission. You got an automated rejection at 11pm on a Friday.

Salary hide and seek

Four interviews. A weekend take-home. Then they tell you the budget was 40% below your rate the whole time.

White flag of surrender illustration

Spray and pray

Your CV blasted to 50 companies you’ve never heard of. Half the roles don’t exist. The agency needed to hit their call quota.

The zagg

So we built the opposite.

A reverse marketplace where developers showcase and companies compete. Transparent, accountable, and built by people who've been on both sides.

We vet the companies, not you

Every employer proves they’re worth your time before they see your profile.

Salary upfront. Always.

No guessing. No “competitive.” Ranges visible before you talk to anyone.

Matched on fit, not keywords

Skills, values, culture. Not a recruiter skimming your CV for buzzwords.

They pitch to you

Companies explain why you should join them. Not the other way around.

See why you matched

No black box. You see exactly what makes each opportunity a fit.

Interested or pass

No cover letters. No forms. One tap. Your call.

Built for both sides of the table.

Developers were exhausted. Employers were drowning in noise. We built one platform that works for both — because the old system worked for neither.
