I've been following Zach and his team for years. They've helped hundreds of people land jobs at the likes of Google, Facebook, etc with job-hunting products. Seeing them expand into on-demand career advice is exciting. It's a much larger market and I haven't seen anything like it before. Pricing seems fair too :) Why doesn't everyone have a "talent agent"? Hope this can help a lot of people.

@rogerdickey Thanks for the Hunt and kind words Roger! As mentioned, we've been tackling the "job hunt" through coaching for a while now. After you talk to hundreds upon hundreds of people personally, you find patterns. People, every day, every week, are making decisions that affect their career trajectory. We would always think "wow, If they had know this one piece of information 4 months ago, they'd be in such a good position now." Boost is a service that helps you make the smartest decisions all the time. It's your own personal advisor -- powered by both real people and technology -- that understands your unique situation, taps into the data of the world, and gives you professional superpowers. We invite you all to try it out and let us know what you think. :)

This is pretty cool. What is it set up with? Is it a custom site?
Andrew Rhyne
@bentossell Yup, completely custom. Built ReactJS and GraphQL

@bentossell To go into more detail, we've effectively built a combination help desk & "load balancer for expertise." This helps us source the best advice very quickly from a network of hundreds of top people. Our trained career coaches help ensure every conversation is completely personal, 100% accurate, and effective.

Great idea - democratizing talent agencies that normally only already rich and powerful people have. Feels like everyone could use this. Is it focused on tech people first? There are probably many other industries that may benefit even more.

@andrewomatic Our specialties are definitely in Software Engineering, Design, and Product Management. That being said, we're currently working with experts to design coaching playbooks for other fields rapidly. Thanks for the question!
