A new tech job platform offering tech professionals a complete, autonomous solution to finding their next career move has launched. Called Headhuntable, the site leverages virtual assistants to aid job seekers in their search.

RecTech Podcast

Headhuntable.io provides a lifeline for skilled individuals seeking stable employment. The platform combines three crucial elements: an intimate knowledge of the technical marketplace and its hiring practices, Virtual Assistants (VAs) who serve as agents to market your talent to prospective employers, and Mentors/Coaches to help you develop your professional skills and navigate the hiring process in the best light possible.

The highly trained VAs are dedicated job search experts who take the burden off job searchers’ shoulders by actively finding and applying to relevant positions, handling communication with recruiters, and providing interview preparation and career development support. The VAs are “tireless advocates, ensuring clients are seen and heard amidst the noise of hundreds of other applicants.”
