You wouldn’t use Airbnb without host reviews. You wouldn’t get in an Uber without driver ratings. You wouldn’t trust Fandango if the movies only sometimes played.
And yet, millions of job seekers apply to roles every day with zero visibility into whether the job is real, respectful, or even still open.
That’s not just frustrating. That’s a massive economic failure.
We’ve built reputation systems into every major online marketplace: Amazon, Yelp, Uber, Airbnb. These platforms became trusted because users could see what to expect before they committed.
But hiring? Still a black box.
The Hidden Cost of a Market Without Trust
The talent industry is now worth over $100 billion—but what is that money buying us?
Ghost jobs that waste job seeker time
Resume spam that frustrates employers
Talent shortages that aren’t always real—just misaligned
Because there’s no accountability, job boards optimize for engagement, not outcomes.
And if engagement is the only metric, the system will reward:
Clicks
Applications
Activity
Not:
Matches
Transparency
Efficiency
A New Platform for a New Kind of Hiring
At The Job Applicant Perspective, we’re flipping the model. We built the first job board with anonymous, crowdsourced reviews of hiring experiences.
It’s like Rotten Tomatoes—but for job postings.
Job seekers get clarity.
Employers get signal.
Small businesses finally get to compete based on how they treat people—not just brand recognition.
It’s the first job platform since the newspaper era to treat trust as infrastructure.
Because when you bring trust into a system, you don’t just get better experiences. You get better economics:
Shorter time-to-hire
Lower turnover
Higher retention
Real matches—not volume
Help Us Build It
We're early, but growing. Each review adds clarity to a system that desperately needs it.
So if you've applied to a job, interviewed, or been ghosted—take 30 seconds to share your experience.
You're not just venting. You're shaping a smarter, more human job market.
