Your personal AI headhunter on WhatsApp to find startup jobs
Standout is a superconnected AI Headhunter. After a call, it learns your goals, filters inbound, and scans 1000s of startup roles to deliver curated matches and warm founder intros. Don't miss opportunities, skip the back-and-forth, and interview faster.
We built Standout after a simple frustration: Why does finding a great startup job still feel so broken?
With Witold, we were tired of generic headhunter DMs. Spending 30 minutes on a call just to get a few random offers felt outdated. But classic job hunting wasn’t any better (digging through thousands of LinkedIn listings was even worse) and we wanted to stay aware of great opportunities.
So we built your personal AI headhunter on WhatsApp. It learns what you want, filters the noise, and scouts roles you’d actually consider. Best part? It’s superconnected. If you’re a fit, it introduces you directly to the founder or hiring team.
🔥 What Standout does • Filters inbound messages so you only see opportunities that fit your skills, goals, and values. • Scouts the market across startups (SF + remote) and targets those aligned on mission, stage, and culture. • Makes warm intros to founders when we can; otherwise, gives you a clear outreach playbook. • Coaches you through the process—prep, feedback, and offers support.
Like a real headhunter—but plugged into 1,000s of roles, not just a few.
It knows the hiring process, culture, and what to expect, so you’re never guessing.
