Why matchFWD?

online recruiting

Social recruiting made easier

Feel like you’re looking for a needle in a haystack? Time for a referral. And matchFWD makes them quicker, easier and more relevant. We automate things and manage all interactions. Because you’ve got better things to do, right?

Robots + Humans = Smarter

A proprietary matching algorithm? Check. Actual humans to shepherd all that shiny tech? Check. matchFWD suggests likely candidates, but it’s up to users to decide to refer someone. Welcome to the future of recruiting—flying cars not included.

Others add. We multiply.

When it comes to value, matchFWD doesn't just add - we multiply. On average, hiring managers using matchFWD extend their reach to targeted candidates by 227%. And that's a number that will only get better as more people join. Count on it!

networking

Good deeds, good business

Referrals count. They open doors, keep clients happy and help peers. They can even lead to bonuses. Whatever your motivation, matchFWD makes it quicker and easier than ever to help out.

More favors in less time

You know a ton of people. And you often get asked for referrals. Now you can oblige more frequently without eating up valuable time. Because time is money. And there’s a ton of cool gadgets you could spend that extra cash on, amirite?

Expand your network

No other recruiting platform puts networkers at the heart of the process. matchFWD ‘automagically’ shows hiring managers pertinent connectors like you, even if you’re not in their immediate contacts. Welcome to the epicenter of your industry.

A little help from friends of friends

Looking for work? It's not just who you know that counts: it's who your contacts know that matters too. We help you find the best fit by facilitating referrals through your extended social network. Because life’s too short for boring water cooler chitchat.

First to know, first to grow

matchFWD is the ideal way to find a better job without looking. 54 times better, to be precise. Just sign up and get notified when your contacts post or share a job opening that fits with your profile. Before it hits the job boards. Finding without looking is so cool.

Passive? Go stealth

Got a good gig but wondering if you can upgrade? We’ve got your back. Opt to mask your full name, company name and detailed work experience. Only people you share your profile with will see it. Finally, a personal cloaking device!

Enjoy a spam-free diet

Nobody but matchFWD sees your email address, and you only receive opportunities shared by your contacts. So that headhunter will just have to take you out to lunch if they want your email address.

Vision

Why matchFWD?

We started matchFWD because hiring and finding a job should be about people, not anonymous boards, and lifeless career pages.

Job boards are anonymous. You don't know who posted it, who you will be working for and who you will be working with. They simply don't look like they were designed with candidates in mind. And their sense of aesthetic is totally lacking.

We are not a job board. We are a community of people sharing information about who's hiring and who's available with their peers.

Because we've been on both sides of the fence we know how important Connectors are, whether you are hiring or looking for your next career opportunity. So we designed matchFWD to make your life easier, so you can connect more people with less effort.

Are you a job board, an ATS or a social network?

No, we are building a smarter way to connect people with teams through mutual contacts. You took time to build your social network on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin, we are now designing the best tools to use all their power to hire or find a job.

Today, you fill a form and share. Tomorrow, your career page receives matches automatically. Next week your contacts’ tweets are transformed into opportunities.
