About Standout
Standout gives every talent and company an autonomous agent that represents them, assess the other side, and makes intros when it matters. Why it matters? Because this is hiring today: - Talent use AI to apply to 100s of jobs - this is spam. - Founders/Recruiting send 100s of AI-generated messages to hire the same talent - this is spam. This has to stop. Talent stays fully anonymous until they accept an intro. The best way for passively exploring the market and not missing a life changing opportunity. In 1 month, 10k talent / 60 companies / 100 intros.
