Haystack vs. Gradnet

Tech recruitment is stuck in the dark ages. Spam messaging, shady practices, uninspiring job ads and dull job boards make discovering that next unique opportunity a chore. This is why we built Haystack. Haystack is the go-to tech careers marketplace, connecting verified tech talent with employers of all shapes and sizes. We’re rethinking what it means to be discovered, allowing forward-thinking hiring managers to find, engage and hire amazing tech talent.
