For recruiters

1

Post real jobs only

Every listing expires in 30 days. Post only when you're ready to hire — Candid isn't for pipeline building.

2

Find serious candidates

Every applicant is a paid subscriber, actively looking and serious about their search. Salary expectations, location, and work authorization are visible upfront so you know before you reach out.

3

Close the loop

Give feedback on every decision. Your Trust Score is visible to all candidates and reflects how you treat people.

Built for honest hiring

Every feature exists to reduce friction, eliminate ghosting, and create accountability on both sides.

Trust Score

Every recruiter earns a public Trust Score based on how well they respond to candidates. Accountability built in.

30-day listing expiry

Every job listing automatically expires after 30 days. No ghost jobs collecting applications months after the role was filled.
