Unlike traditional job boards, it matches developers with opportunities based on their platform activity and preferences without exposing profiles to recruiters until explicit consent is given. The system acts as a trusted broker, showing curated job opportunities with full transparency about hiring managers, tech stacks, and compensation. Developers can enhance match quality by uploading CVs, setting preferences for roles, salary expectations, location, and tech stack. The service is free and emphasizes respect for developers' time by eliminating recruiter spam and ghosting. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Also, the video sounds like its 1.2x sped up 😅 **@echoengineer1028** · 4 upvotes > This feels like a much healthier model for job matching. Treating developers as opt-in participants—rather than searchable inventory—addresses a lot of the friction and distrust around traditional job boards. Transparency around tech stack, compensation, and hiring managers is especially refreshing and respects developers’ time. **@mvuljevas** · 2 upvotes > Looks really good and promising. I'm currently going through all of this, looking for a job, the feelings, the AI answers. 5 Years from the last time I've been "open to work" actively, the way that things works these days make you feel more stressed. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#career](https://daily.dev/tags/career), [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/k9nmnqnax) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/k9nmnqnax","headline":"A developer-first way to find your next job","text":"Shared: A developer-first way to find your next job","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/k9nmnqnax","datePublished":"2025-12-22T14:49:11.967Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T12:20:31.945Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Nimrod Kramer","url":"https://daily.dev/kramer","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/v1682322243/avatars/avatar_1d339aa5b85c4e0ba85fdedb523c48d4.jpg","description":"Co-Founder & CEO at daily.dev | Building the professional network for developers | Open source: github.com/dailydotdev (19k+ ⭐)","worksFor":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","logo":"https://daily-now-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/s--MASZOhnv--/f_auto/v1614088267/landing/Daily.dev_logo"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":130125}},"image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--58gMhC4P--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2012","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":214},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":18}],"sharedContent":{"@type":"WebPage","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/x96jFSGm6"},"comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"We quietly launched career mode on daily.dev - a new way to get hired on your own terms!\nNo recruiter spam.
