This is a wonderful idea, but the first listing I clicked claimed being anon-friendly while also asking for a mandatory resume.

I assumed these would mostly be merit-based positions, how do these two concepts harmonize? I have gotten anon roles before and they did not require a resume.

Also, it would be useful to filter by part-time/full-time/contract positions.




Hey! Thank you for the kind words. Really means a lot.

You raise a valid point. I suppose you could submit a resume associated with your pseudonymous identity. I have two resumes personally, one for my legal identity, and one for work that I do under my pseudonymous identity. It does present a challenge though. It's not easy to separate the two and either one alone may not provide a holistic and accurate view of you as a candidate.

Without speculating and relying too much on buzzwords, I wonder if you could use Zero Knowledge Proofs to prove that you have certain credentials or experience, without necessarily having to share your legal/irl identity. I don't have all the answers myself but I do have many questions, hence why I built this! And thanks for the feedback about filtering, you're right. Will ship that asap :)

Could I ask if you were hired as a full time employee or as a contractor? Trying to figure out how organizations may handle the legalities/taxes for full time employees.


What's the point in hiding your name if you submit a job history which narrows the scope of your anonymity?

how do you verify the contents of said resume without having enough information to identify them?

I could just take anyone's github profile and say that it's me and you would have no idea.
