@nondualrandy Thanks! I know you know all about the challenges of creating a consumer platform from scratch!

Hey, Product Hunt! I’m Isaac Morehouse, CEO of Crash. I’m thrilled to launch version 2.0 of our job-hunt platform here. We had a great response last year to the initial version, and we’ve learned a ton from early users. Our mission at Crash remains the same: help people discover and do what makes them come alive. And the core idea is the same as well: find and win opportunities you didn’t think you could by showing—instead of telling. We like to say, “Be your own credential.” What we've seen that means in the crowded world of “spray and pray” applications and resumes is to zig when others zag. Instead of generic resumes and cover letters, focus on higher quality, tailored, creative pitches to a few great companies. We started Crash with robust talent profiles, which you can still create. But we found our users can get so much more bang for their buck by creating not just one big skills profile, but individually tailored video and project pitches for each company. So that's what this product update is all about. And it works! Seekers are getting noticed and getting hired! Crash makes it easy to create, send, and track tailored pitches. We’ve added a dashboard with hand-picked job recommendations for each user (not a big generic jobs board, but just a few great opportunities to really nail), and ramped up career guides, a job hunt playbook, feedback, and a Slack community. I'd love to hear your feedback. We’re also looking for the next set of eager, motivated job seekers to join our closed beta of Crash 2.0. You’ll get total access to all features for free, our team will be available to you to help you win your job hunt in any way we can, and we'll get to learn from you how to make Crash the best job hunt platform in the world. Happy hunting! Isaac

Crash works! We use it for our placement/job hunting process at Praxis and it's a game changer. It allows our participants to be proactive on the job market instead of passively submitting resumes. Every week Praxis participants on landing new job opportunities with the help of Crash.

@cameronsorsby always awesome to see how Praxis participants use Crash. their pitches are 🔥.

Crash is top-tier when it comes to job hunting. They’re also one of the few brands empowering their users with a different approach to job hunting that actually gets your applications noticed.

Crash turned what would have been a dreary job hunt into something fun. It's not about spamming resumes, but approaching it like a project that you actually take seriously and thoughtfully. It put me in a position of control. I was not at the mercy of resume reviewers, I was impressing them with a pitch tailored specifically to the organizations I wanted to work with. Crash is not a silver bullet, but if you use it strategically you'll have a far better shot of getting a great job at an organisation you want to work at.
Morgan Von Gunten
@brad_matthews love it. so cool to hear that Crash actually helped make the job hunt fun for you!
Joe Pas
Crash landed me several interviews for positions I'd have no chance of landing with a typical resume. Many of the interviewers told me as much—right before they told me that they liked my Crash pitch so much they wanted to interview me anyway. The job I eventually landed wasn't because of a Crash pitch, but simply because of my profile. The company that hired me saw the profile I'd set up and decided to interview for a high-pressure marketing role, something with which I had zero experience. I ended up getting the job. Highly, highly recommended, both for the product and the team behind it.
Isaac M. Morehouse
@joe_pas So excited for you Joe! Was great to see all the awesome and creative stuff you showed in your profile and pitches.
Morgan Von Gunten
@joe_pas thanks, Joe! yours is such a cool story.
Kevin McDermott
Crash helped me land a job when I was pretty much at an all time low! I had just been laid off and needed a job—fast. I ended up finding multiple opportunities I was super excited about a few weeks into launching. Crazy how far some creativity will take you on the job market!

@kevin_mcdermott that's amazing, Kevin!
Isaac M. Morehouse
@kevin_mcdermott So excited for you.

Not only have I coached dozens of people as they landed jobs using Crash, but I've seen the tool transform their mindset about landing a job. No longer is it a boring process filled with apprehension. Instead, it's a learning experience where even the jobs you don't get become valuable parts of your career journey. Highly recommend, whether you're at an entry level or have 10 years of experience!
Morgan Von Gunten
@lolita_allgyer thanks, Lita!

@twetchapp I had to use Urban Dictionary the firs time I saw "based".

Crash is the only job board where companies hunt for you too. Before Crash, I was wrestling shopping carriages and scrubbing toilets. After Crash, I landed a role at a startup that works with billion-dollar non-profits, without sending a single resume or applying. Crash is all about tapping into the underutilized phrase of Quality over Quantity. Instead of sending out 30+ bland resumes a month, Crash allows the user to tap into their reservoir of creativity and inspires the creative mindset needed to catch the attention of any hiring manager you want. What are you waiting for? Stand out and Crash your career!
Morgan Von Gunten
love it!
James Beer
Forget Resumés. Digital footprints and 'tangible' profiles with legitimate work are the way forward.
Joey Wickham
Amazing product with incredible innovators behind the wheel. This is the future.
Morgan Von Gunten
@joey_wickham1 thanks, Joey!
Dustin Miller - PolyInnovator
It is a unique platform geared towards helping people get a job they want. Not just some random position at a company, with the Crash tool you can actually cater your application with a pitch. That can be made in different content ways, but in essence you can speak your truth to a company. Which makes them far more likely to respond positively.
Morgan Von Gunten
@polyinnovator thanks, Dustin!
Joel Bein
With Crash, I land interviews 80% of the time, with companies that I'd doubt think about me if I only sent a resume. Going deep and personalizing pitches takes extra work, but it's exciting, empowering, and worth it.
Morgan Von Gunten
@joel_bein1 you're awesome—thanks for sharing.
Corné van Straten
@joel_bein1 your pitches ROCK, Joel!
David Kirby
In February, we hired a entry-level marketing professional off of Crash to help us remotely. It was hands down the smoothest and best hiring process of any online platform we've ever experienced! We reviewed several candidates' pitches, contacted our favorite two, made an immediate human connection to both, and picked the best fit one for our team. All within a week! And she has been a rock star. We would have spent endless hours, days, weeks sorting through terrible Indeed resumes, working our own hiring funnel process, and interviewing. Isaac and his team at Crash are on to something BIG... just in time, given how many people will need to get back to work and fast. With any luck, Crash will help thousands of people find more purposeful, meaningful work, and create more value in the world. Bravo Crash, and thank you!
Morgan Von Gunten
@david_kirby1 can I upvote this multiple times? this is so cool to hear. thanks so much for sharing!
Gregory Williamson
Speaking from personal experience here. Crash works! Period. There isn't a better way (or a better time) to take your career into your own hands, build a video pitch, and land a job you love!
Morgan Von Gunten
@gregory_williamson1 love seeing and hearing about your career launch. excited for what's next for you—and grateful Crash got to be a part of your story!
Eran Boodnero
Writing a resume had to have been one of the most excruciating. things. ever. Making my crash profile has been a blast. An opportunity to sprinkle in some personality and color into an otherwise gray bureaucratic document. I can't wait to tailor some pitches to employers and show them what I have because it feels like Crash lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and is allowing me to run.
Morgan Von Gunten
@eran_boodnero awesome to hear it!
Tom Kerstetter
I am legitimately eager to recommend Crash to any/all peers who are stuck in the traditional job hunt cycle. Why wait for the interview to give companies some insight into who you are and how you can kick ass for them?
Morgan Von Gunten
@tom_kerstetter yes. you can show what you've got right from the start.
Mia Liang
Crash helped me land interviews for positions that I was extremely unqualified for. At 17 and with no bachelor’s degree in hand I would have been turned down from every place I applied to if it weren’t for Crash and the tools they provide. Instead of rejection emails, I was receiving videos and emails back from higher-ups saying that they were excited to interview me and to “keep being awesome.” The connections that you can make and opportunities that you can achieve through Crash are truly one of a kind. I cannot suggest it enough.
Morgan Von Gunten
@mia_liang this is so awesome, thanks for sharing this, Mia!
Isaac M. Morehouse
@mia_liang Was awesome to be able to see your job hunt and watch you crush it!
Randalyn Hill
As a "founding crasher" I can safely say they are transforming the hiring process one employee at a time. If you're looking to stand out, get noticed, and get your dream job - this is the platform for you!

@randalyn_hill thanks, Randi!
