Mutual Interest

Interest should not be a guessing game.

Record interest privately. When it's mutual and positive, it can be revealed to help both sides prioritize the next conversation.

Handshake is our internal name for the moment interest becomes mutual; the clear term stays “Mutual Interest”.

How it works

Private on both sides, revealed only when it's mutual.

  • You record your interest privately
  • The hiring team records interest privately
  • Positive mutual interest may be revealed, per product rules
  • Mutual interest helps prioritize the next conversation
  • Interest doesn't replace qualifications
  • Interest doesn't create automatic rejection

There is no hidden numeric compatibility score.

A private signal, revealed only when it's shared.

The interview wraps up

What happens next shouldn't be a guess.
