I've been building Nexus for a few months now. It's a job matching and networking platform, but the core difference from LinkedIn is the AI layer underneath. The people who've used it so far are job seekers who were frustrated with how opaque the LinkedIn application process feels. You apply, you hear nothing, you have no idea why. Nexus has a full application dashboard so candidates see exactly where they stand, and employers get interview scheduling, notes, and AI screening built in.
You spend 45 minutes tailoring a cover letter. You hit apply. You get an automated confirmation email. Then silence for 3 weeks. Then a rejection with no reason.
This is the standard LinkedIn experience for most job seekers right now.
The problem isn't effort. It's that the system gives candidates zero feedback and zero visibility.
I built Nexus to fix the feedback gap specifically.
When you apply through Nexus, there's an AI resume coach that analyzes your profile against that exact job post before you apply. It tells you what's missing, what to reframe, what skills to highlight. Not after you get rejected. Before you hit submit.
There's also a skill gap analyzer that looks at your target industry and tells you what you're missing versus what the market actually wants right now, then gives you a learning roadmap.
And on the employer side, every application has a full dashboard. Scheduling, interview notes, AI screening summaries, recruiter notes. The whole process in one place instead of scattered across five tools.
I'm at the very beginning - 4 users, but the infrastructure is solid. 24 pages, backend functions running for things like job alerts and skill badge verification.
If you're actively job hunting and the black hole problem resonates, I'd genuinely want to know what would make you try something other than LinkedIn.
What would a platform have to do differently to actually earn your time?

Who hunted Nexus?
Nexus was hunted by John. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
