Hey everyone!
It's awesome to be featured on Product Hunt :)
Workey is an AI career tool for techies who aren't looking for a Job but want a better career.
During my own career, as a software engineer, I’d always ask myself - "Where do I see my career heading?” My fellow co-founders and I realized that people hate that question and decided to build Workey. Workey uses AI to compare your unique career history to millions of others to suggest highly personalized open career opportunities in real time.
Workey helps you know where you stand by showcasing your fully anonymized profile to 500+ tech companies so you can discover how many companies are interested in you, without knowing your name.
The whole Workey team and I are excited to hear your feedback and are available for any questions you may have.
Happy hunting!
@theashtube you hit a scenario where we decided to talk with you in miles (and not KM) but instead of showing the miles value, we’ve converted the km value (20km) to miles which is 12.42... haha. Fix is on the way. Thanks for catching this!
Hi @alexfrangiamore, thank you for the kind comment and for checking us out! Currently we are in the US and Israel markets but stay tuned as we continue to expand in the near future!
@dhulser thanks for joining the discussion!
Limbo looks interesting and seems that we share some of the anonymous concept which is great. What distinguish Workey from Limbo and others is -
1. We've decided to eliminate search and filtering - we know how hard it is to answer career related questions and define exactly what you're looking for - so we don't ask such questions. Workey compares your data to millions of others and provides suggestions, then based on your feedback (a thumb up or down) - we continue to better understand what is the best fit for you.
2. Workey is built for people who aren't looking for a new job but want to be on top of their career. Unlike other marketplaces - our users don't have to set multiple interviews immediately but rather have the freedom to explore on their own and discover what's best for them.
@shtainberg Hey Danny! CoFounder of Limbo here. Congrats on expanding Workey, lots of room in this space to change the status quo. Let me know if you're ever in SF and want to get a coffee!
I like Workey mostly because it works for me in the background - while continue with my life. I get a job match from time to time, exposing me to what's out there for me. When I see something I like, I am click away from it. The mobile app makes the process even simpler and clandestine - all I want from a job match service.
Pros:
They know exactly what I might like - and saves time in browsing in non relevant positions
Cons:
The mobile app is missing some of the web features - I hope they get it soon!

Hey Ben! Happy to see you joined the discussion :)
Workey is an AI career discovery tool that acts as a two-way marketplace.
I would say that in our space we see Linkedin and job marketplaces like Hired as competitors.
1. AI instead of Search & Filtering - we know how hard it is to answer career related questions and define exactly what you're looking for - so we don't ask such questions. Workey compares your data to millions of others and provides suggestions, then based on your feedback (a thumb up or down) - we continue to better understand what is the best fit for you.
2. Built for the passive talent - Workey is built for people who aren't looking for a new job but want to be on top of their career. Unlike other marketplaces - our users don't have to set multiple interviews immediately but rather have the freedom to explore on their own and discover what's best for them.
3. Anonymous - we're anonymizing your profile completely so you can see who is into you without knowing your name.
4. Long term discovery experience and not a job hunt - Workey is for maximizing visibility for our users, there is no time limit, nor "batches" or "showcases". Users are matched to opportunities constantly and decide if to pursue and upvote, similar to PH :)
5. No pushy recruiters - no pushy recruiters, nor talent advocates. It's you and only you. Our team is happy to provide support and guidance when needed but you control, manage and orchestrate your Workey experience.
Hi all :)
I'm Amichai, CTO and co-founder of Workey. We had a great time developing this app, and I'd love to hear what you think, plus answer any questions. Looking forward to it!
I really like Workey, and its great that you have a mobile app now - it is very important when looking for a job, that way no one will take a glance on my screen.
But what about the less cooler kids with Android? when can we join the mobile party?
Pros:
The mobile app makes the Workey experience even more simple
Hey, it's Peter from Workey's NY office. I'm here to answer any questions you might have and if any hiring managers are in NYC, would love to connect over coffee or lunch on us!
it would be extremely interesting to allow employers to feed candidates into a system like this - like a way to identify or conceptualize career paths or meaningful opportunities- have you considered such a thing?
Hey @ilitraz !
Great question! While Hired is tailored for talent who is actively looking for a job, we at Workey are built for people who are NOT looking to switch a job at the moment but rather want to explore and stay on top of their career.
More details -
1. Once you're on Hired - your complete profile, including full name is displayed to hiring companies. On Workey- we're anonymizing your profile completely so you can see who is into you without knowing your name.
2. When you signup to Hired, you build a profile and wait for companies to approach you. Workey provides a discovery experience and two-way marketplace - Companies can apply to you based on your anonymous profile but in addition to that - we compare your data to millions of others to show you concrete suggestions for career opportunities in real time. You can thumb-up and signal the employer that you're interested or thumb-down so our AI can refine itself.
3. Hired like other marketplaces - are into "batches" and "showcases" - so every user gets limited visibility. Workey is for maximizing visibility, so as long as our AI thinks the profile is suitable for a position (based on skills, company DNA and the user intent and level of engagement) - it will be showcased to the relevant hiring company.
4. Workey is built for Millennials and Gen-Z - no pushy recruiters, nor talent advocates. It's you and only you. Our team is happy to provide support and guidance when needed but you control, manage and orchestrate your Workey experience.
Thanks and happy hunting!
