Recruiter.com, but the interview happens in the next 10 minutes.

Why I'm writing to you specifically

You've spent your career rolling up hiring and workforce businesses — Recruiter.com, Main Street, and the rest of the portfolio. You understand the economics of the recruiting industry better than almost anyone: the agency markups, the stale job boards, the ATS lock-in, and how hard it is to move any of it with technology alone.

I'm a software engineer. I built Jobby.dev end-to-end — the matching engine, the live video layer, the parsing, the web app, the native mobile apps. I'm writing to you because I think the right next step for this product is to plug it into a distribution engine that already exists. You own that engine.

What Jobby.dev is

Jobby.dev collapses sourcing, screening, and the first interview into a single live conversation. A candidate uploads a resume, a recruiter posts a role, and the two are matched into a video call on the spot — no scheduling, no email chains, no take-homes nobody grades.

Why this fits Recruiter.com

Recruiter.com has the brand, the domain, the SEO footprint, and a recruiter network most startups would kill for. What it doesn't have is a reason for a candidate or a hiring manager to come back on a Tuesday afternoon. Jobby.dev is that reason: a live event, running 24/7, where matches happen in minutes instead of weeks.

I'm a software engineer, and I'm telling you directly: I can make Recruiter.com profitable. The product is already built. The hard engineering — matching, live video, parsing, mobile — is done. What it needs now is the thing you already own: a distribution channel and a recruiter-side rolodex. Bolt Jobby.dev onto Recruiter.com and the combined unit economics work in a way neither does alone.

The same play extends across the rest of the Main Street portfolio. Anywhere you have employer demand or candidate supply, a live matching layer turns a passive directory into a transacting marketplace.

Why now

• →

  AI broke the top of funnel. Generated resumes and auto-apply have made traditional ATS pipelines unusable. The only signal AI can't fake is a live human on a video call.

• →

  Recruiting incumbents are exposed. Job boards are commoditized, ATS vendors are stuck in workflow, and agency fees are indefensible at $25K a placement. A live marketplace skips all three layers.

• →

  Real-time matching is finally cheap. Embedding-based ranking and WebRTC let us run a global job fair 24/7 at marginal cost. Five years ago this wasn't buildable by a single engineer. Today it is — and I did.

Business model

Free for candidates, always. Employers pay a flat monthly subscription for matchmaking access and live interview seats — a fraction of what a single agency placement costs. No success fees, no per-hire tax. The margin profile looks like SaaS, not staffing.

Where we are

The product is live. Seekers and recruiters are matching and interviewing on the platform today. Web and native iOS and Android apps are shipped. I'm raising a seed round — but I'd rather have a conversation about what this looks like as part of Main Street than run a standard VC process.

The ask

Thirty minutes of your time. I'll walk you through the live product, the architecture, and exactly how I'd wire it into Recruiter.com within a business week. If the fit is there, we can talk about investment, acquisition, or a build-inside-the-portfolio structure — whichever actually makes sense for both of us.

The give

Here's the honest version: I'm going to make you money. Lots of it. The product is built, the margins are SaaS-shaped, and the distribution unlock you already own turns it into a printing press. That's the commercial side.

The other side matters just as much. I'm easy to work with and easy to get along with. No ego, no drama, no founder theatrics. I ship, I communicate clearly, and I make the people around me more productive — not less. You'll know within one meeting whether that's true, and I'm confident enough to stake the rest of the pitch on it.
