Hiring in 2025 can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack during a hurricane.
That’s because application volumes are at an all time high:
- The number of job applications per vacancy has tripled since 2021
- At the same time, internal recruiting teams have gotten smaller
This means that the average recruiter or hiring manager has to interview 40% more candidates just to make the same number of hires they did four years ago.
On top of this, AI applications are flooding the market. Hiring teams get slammed by tons of automated applications but slowed down by the difficult task of assessing authenticity, and balancing legal and ethical concerns. It’s no wonder everyone is feeling overwhelmed:
It’s NOT fine. We want to help teams cut the noise so we’ve released our biggest product update ever: Public job listings
For the first time, candidates on OfferZen can see and apply to jobs and employers can get applications directly from screened, qualified OfferZen candidates. But this isn’t your average job board that floods your inbox with 100 irrelevant applications every day.
Candidates have to pass three layers of matching before they can apply to an OfferZen job listing:
- Get accepted to OfferZen: 2700+ tech professionals apply to join the OfferZen marketplace every month. Only 37% of these profiles are accepted based on skill checks carried out by our dedicated curation tooling and team.
- Pass intent checks: Every candidate accepted to OfferZen needs to chat to their talent advisor to confirm active job-seeking intent and profile accuracy.
- Match with a role: Once a candidate is live on OfferZen, they can see matching jobs and apply directly.
This means that only matching candidates with verified skills and job-seeking intent can apply to OfferZen job listings. Candidates can see how well they match jobs on OfferZen:
To help companies reach the wider OfferZen network, job listings get featured to our active and passive candidate base via our newsletter to 60 000+ tech professionals, social media and, soon, our public job directory.
It’s still early days, but we’ve already seen a few wins with job listings:
- 61 companies have already made 79 hires
- 1500+ verified candidates are viewing OfferZen job listings every week
Next up, we’re building a public job directory to continue to feature these jobs to SA’s largest community of software, data and product professionals. Stay tuned for these updates!
To get your job in front of SA’s top talent, you can post a job on OfferZen for free. You’ll only pay if you successfully make a hire through us.
