How to check we’re real
Job-seeker scams are common enough that you should be suspicious of us too. So here is how to check, and what we actually sell.
You never pay us to apply, to be seen, or to be put forward.
Check us the same way you’d check anyone
- 1. Look the role up yourself. Go to the company’s own careers page and search for it. If we have a role on our board, it is a real posting from a real employer — and you can apply there directly, without us, any time you like.
- 2. Check the clock. Roles on our board carry the hour they were posted, not a vague “new”. That number is there so you can hold it against the posting itself.
- 3. Watch what we ask you for. If anything ever asks you to pay in order to apply, be submitted, or be considered — it is not us, and we want to know about it.
What we never do
Applying is free, always.
There is no fee, credit, upgrade or membership between you and an application. There never has been.
We do not sell résumé services.
We will never review, rewrite, "optimize" or refer you to someone who does — not for a fee, not for free.
Nothing you can buy changes your match score.
Your résumé locks once you start searching. Paying us shows you more roles; it never changes how you score against one.
You apply on the employer’s own site.
We are not in the middle of your application. Nothing is submitted through us, and we never ask for payment to send one.
The warning signs, answered
These are the red flags job seekers are told to watch for. Hold us to each one.
Red flag: The recruiter pivots from the job to criticising your résumé.
Us: We never comment on your résumé, and we have nothing to sell you if we did.
Red flag: They insist you use a specific résumé writer or optimisation service.
Us: We do not have one, do not refer to one, and do not take a cut from one.
Red flag: The conversation becomes about buying a service, not your qualifications.
Us: Nothing we sell sits between you and an application. Applying is free.
Red flag: They create urgency about paying before you can be “submitted”.
Us: We never submit you anywhere. You apply on the employer’s own site.
Red flag: Their contact details don’t match the company they claim to represent.
Us: We only ever contact you as WhoDooUNode. We never claim to be the employer.
Red flag: They discourage you from applying through the company’s careers site.
Us: We tell you to go and do exactly that. It is the fastest way to check us.
What we actually sell
Access. Fresh roles, filtered down to the ones that fit you, so you are not firing résumés into a void alongside a thousand other people. We only put our name on an application when you score 70% or better against the role — that line is not a hurdle in front of the product, it is the product. Drop it and we are just another job board.
Which is also why there is nothing here you can buy to move that number. Your résumé locks once you start searching. Paying us shows you more roles; it never changes how you score against one.
What that gets you. You stop spraying. A score tells you where you’d genuinely be in the running before you spend an evening on an application, and the roles are fresh enough that you’re early rather than late. When the employer is on the platform, your application reaches them already screened — a shortlist rather than a stack. And when someone vouches for you, you arrive as a name somebody put themselves behind, not another file.
