- Hide your profile from specific companies
- No public search results, ever

Matched on values
Matched on values, not just keywords
Set the things that actually matter - remote-first, four-day week, product-led, zero on-call - and only see roles that check those boxes.
- Filter by stack, seniority, salary and location
- Match on culture, working style and benefits
- Every role is verified by the Haystack team
Signal, not noise
No recruiters, no spam, no noise
Every message you get is from a hiring manager at a company you've been matched to. No third-party recruiters. No copy-paste outreach. No "just checking in" chases.
