The problem

Nobody tells you
how it actually works.

I built this after conversations with people navigating the job market — 15-year-olds picking subjects, graduates applying blindly, and 30-to-50-year-olds realizing they're in the wrong career and wanting a change. The information exists. It's just scattered, gatekept, or locked behind expensive coaching.

You navigate blind

No idea which companies actually hire from your background, what the real timeline is, or whether the role is filled. Whether you're 15 or 50, the process is completely opaque.

You get ghosted

Companies ghost at every stage. No feedback. No pattern. You don't know if it was you, the market, or just bad timing. It happens to graduates and senior pivots alike.

You're unsure what you want

Life is too short to be unsatisfied. Whether you want to climb the ladder, pivot entirely, or just figure out what you actually enjoy — you need a visual map to guide yourself.

Building now

What it does

Every data point
you actually need.

Skills graph
& CV branching.

We cluster people with existing jobs to map where you actually belong — not just where you think you fit. Then CV-to-job branching expands you into adjacent sectors you hadn't considered.

Company
intelligence.

A database of how companies actually behave — not their careers page. Ghost rates, real timelines, assessment formats, how many rounds, what trips people up. Built from real data, not hearsay.

Assessment breakdowns — what to expect
Real hiring timelines from application to offer

Market
intelligence.

Trending skills, emerging roles, where demand is growing and where it's contracting. Map your development to where the market is actually going — not where it was three years ago.

Business model

Free for job seekers.
Ads pay the bill.

No paywalled data. No premium tiers hiding the useful stuff. 10,000 users generating ~£24k/yr in ad revenue. That's the starting point.

Phase 1Starting point

Free + ads

Ad-supported, fully free for job seekers. Grow the user base, prove the data model. 10k users → ~£24k gross revenue.

Phase 2Expansion

Employer data

Companies pay to understand how they're perceived. Ghosting rates, pipeline conversion, competitive benchmarking against peers.

Phase 3Long term

Placement layer

Introduce a recruiter/employer marketplace on top of verified signal data. The dataset becomes the moat.

The infrastructure

Powered by Autonomase.

A cutting-edge autonomous data system that continuously discovers, verifies, and updates structured information from the web in real time. Built from research in reinforcement learning, adaptive agents, and neuro-symbolic systems.

Autonomase operates as a network of continuously running agents that learn how to extract and structure data from dynamic web sources. It combines adaptive policies with symbolic structure recognition to remain robust against changing page layouts and unpredictable site behaviour.

The system is grounded in research on reinforcement learning for sequential decision-making and neuro-symbolic representations for structured reasoning. In production, this translates into resilient agents that improve extraction quality over time, transfer knowledge across similar sources, and recover automatically from failures.
