Work  /  Hiring starts with a conversation.

BigBreak

Job search is broken with new job listings getting an average of 450 applications and ATS screening out the majority of those. Meanwhile, AI is replacing entire workforces with the entry job market down 35% in just 18 months, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hiring starts with a conversation, not with a cold application, so I developed BigBreak to help candidates be seen and start a conversation with the hiring team, while our AI handles all the repetitive form-filling and cover letter drafting and outreach that eats away at a candidates week, every week.

Problem

  • Job search is broken for candidates.
  • Job listings get thousands of applicants.
  • ATS screen-out 99% of candidates before a human has seen it.
  • Candidates waste months, to be ghosted.
