Hey folks 👋
The job market is brutal right now. Great engineers are sending 1k+ applications into ATS black holes and hearing nothing back. I’ve been on the other side of this — I previously built an ATS to help employers hire better — and I can tell you: the resume that gets seen by a human wins, almost every time.
So I’m building Pathwand (
pathwand.com) to flip the problem around and work for candidates instead.
Instead of “apply and pray,” Pathwand gets your resume in front of the actual recruiters and hiring managers who are scouting for your role right now (all from your inbox) — through real human connections, not another job board. The goal is simple: induce interviews, not just applications.
And it’s working. I’ve been quietly testing this with a small group of candidates, and several of them have already landed interviews at Amazon, Meta, Apple, and a handful of startups.
If you (or someone you know) is job hunting in tech, I’d love for you to take it for a spin. Sign up on the site or just DM me and I’ll open up access for you.
Honest feedback from this group would mean a lot 🙏
