Job seekers struggle to surface their profiles to relevant employers efficiently

Talented professionals actively looking for work lack an effective way to get discovered by hiring managers without relying on traditional job boards or recruiters. Current solutions force job seekers into passive application workflows or require paying for premium visibility, while employers miss qualified candidates who aren't actively applying. The HN community has created workarounds (third-party aggregators like nthesis.ai) because the core problem—efficient, direct matching between job seekers and employers—remains unsolved.
