What it is
Resumes are self-reported marketing copy. Keyword search rewards buzzword-stuffing over real skill. QuietRecruit replaces both with signals that are rated, dated, and honest.
Anonymous, structured profiles
Talent rates each skill 0 through 10, notes when they last used it, and sets a jump-ship comp number. No resume, no name, until they opt in.
Search that respects privacy
Recruiters search and message anonymized candidates. Nobody's identity is revealed unless the candidate chooses to de-anonymize and advance.
Signal that predicts fit
No keyword-matched resumes. Just self-rated skills, recency, and comp: the details that actually matter.
Why it works
For talent
Keep your profile current as your skills grow. A quick edit beats rewriting a resume every time you level up. Recruiters reach out already knowing your real skill level and comp range, not another 'exciting opportunity' email for a stack you dropped years ago.
For recruiters
Stop reading resumes that oversell and guessing at comp. Search real proficiency and recency, and only message people who actually match. No more outreach that gets ignored.
More than a directory
Whichever side you're on, you get tools built for the work — not just a place to list yourself.
For talent
Import, don't retype
Draft your skills straight from GitHub or a resume, so you're not starting from a blank page.
See your own market
Insights shows where your comp and skills sit against the field, and what's worth learning next.
Suggestions that fit
We surface skills you likely already have, based on the ones you've added.
Signal what you actually want
Jump-ship comp, relocation, equity or contract work — set it once and move on.
For recruiters
Searches that work while you don't
Save a search and get an email the moment a new candidate matches it.
Know the market, not just the match
Search Intelligence shows pool depth, comp ranges, and which requirement to relax to reach more people.
Screen before you reach out
Attach questions to a search so only candidates who qualify ever reach your inbox.
See why they matched
Results highlight the skills that fit, and you can shortlist or pass in a single click.
For researchers
Query the whole pool
Slice anonymized market data by skill, comp, location, and more — no spreadsheets required.
Export you can cite
Download results as CSV with the query and coverage baked in, ready for real work.
Private by construction
Aggregate-only, with small cohorts suppressed automatically — ethical data, by default.
Try before you subscribe
Start from templates and preview real results before you pay.
Built to be fair, before it's built to be big.
Talent controls when identity is revealed. Recruiters never see a name until you say yes.
Search groups smaller than 5 people are suppressed automatically, so no cohort is ever small enough to identify.
Comp expectations are visible before the first message, so fewer conversations go nowhere.
