I remember my experience as a candidate on Hired. I pretty consistently got low-grade startup trash (think collectible art trading cards, but digital!) with lowballed comp. If Triplebyte was worse, then it's no wonder they placed so few people.


I’ve had a pretty good experience using Hired the past few months. After getting a lot of small startups, I put that I was only interested in larger companies with 500+ people and I don’t see as many now. There seem to be a fair amount of large companies hiring remote after the pandemic WFH experiment, which is great for me outside of a major tech hub. Most places meet or exceed my salary expectations. I’ve gotten interviews with a few companies I’m quite interested in and would have never thought to apply at. This has required relatively little effort on my part as I usually write a cover letter and tailor my resume only to get rejected without reason, but with Hired I just set up my profile and get hits. I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking around for another job.


80% of the leads I get from hired aren't too great. But the other 20% are quality.
