Job hunting is hard. We're your buddy.
Tell us what you actually want, the work, the money, the kind of team that makes Mondays survivable. We'll bring the right roles to you, anonymously, with the salary on the table. Actively looking or just curious? We've got you.
Three steps. Zero cover letters.
Twelve minutes to set up. Your first real match usually shows up within the week. Active job-hunt or quiet curiosity, you control how much attention you want.
Tell us where you're going
Salary floor, location, role family, company size, the dealbreakers. Be specific, vague profiles get vague matches, and you didn't come here for vague.
Stay anonymous, stay safe
Recruiters see your skills, your asking salary and a redacted work history. Never your name. Never your current employer. Never until you say so.
Only reply if it fits
Every message lands with the salary, the role and a short pitch already inside. If it's a no, decline in one tap. No follow-ups. No guilt. No 'just circling back'.
Five signals. One honest score.
Every candidate declares their salary floor, target location, seniority and must-haves before a recruiter can see them. The matching model scores each role against those preferences, capped at 100. No keyword bingo, no "open to opportunities?" carpet-bombs — whether you're actively searching or just window-shopping the market.
And the cap that keeps it sane: each candidate hears from at most three companies per month. Recruiters don't buy individual credits — every paid seat can reach matched candidates, and replies are always included. No per-message or per-hire fees.
Skills
Declared skills and the tools/stacks a role explicitly asks for. The single biggest signal — vague profiles get vague matches.
Location & work mode
Your target city (or remote), timezone overlap, and whether the role is on-site, hybrid or remote-first.
Experience
Years in role family and seniority band. Mid-to-senior only — we don't match graduates to lead roles.
Salary band overlap
How much of the role's published salary band sits at or above your stated floor. No overlap, no match.
Role & title fit
The last tie-breaker: how close the role's title and function are to your target role family.
Window-shop the market. Nobody has to know.
Your current employer can't search for you. Yesterday's recruiters can't slide back in. You decide the exact moment your name appears, usually after the first reply you're actually excited to send.

- ✓ Salary expectations always visible, so nobody wastes your evenings
- ✓ Reveal yourself in one tap, on your terms, when it feels right

If they can't say the number, they can't say "hi".
Every role on Jobs by CareerBuddy publishes a real salary band. Every recruiter outreach lands with the actual number. We don't accept "competitive". You shouldn't either. Your time, your rent, your future, they all deserve specifics.
See live ranges by rolePeople who found their place. Not just a job.
