Aubrey Smith

Software Engineer

"As I work full time and couldn't spare much time for applying jobs. Applying each job is such a painful process sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes for one application. I got tired and demotivated after a week of applying by myself. I heard of 'Scale.jobs' where they apply for your jobs online. Team did a great help in applying jobs and always available to talk. They followed my priority in applying jobs as well."

Teja Aditya Surabhi

Product Strategy & Growth

"I moved from India to Canada and recruiting worked very differently from where I was coming. It took me a while to get a hang of how job search works here and applying to jobs was my biggest pain point. It felt pointless and right then, I found scale.jobs that helped me focus on the right things. In fact, I was able to build a small micro-service FIREmails.xyz from the time I saved."

Apoorv Singh

Consultant

"Facing a layoff during a recession with only 60 days left on my H1B visa, I was in a critical situation. I took their premium service and went all in aggressively. 4 weeks down the line, I secured three job offers, with a 75% salary increase compared to my previous position. Their professionalism and efficiency were exceptional. I am grateful for their support during this crucial time. Highly recommend Scale.jobs and it exceeded all my expectations."

Such a great service!
Such a great initiative and service! Applying jobs everyday has been super daunting. But now with scale jobs, one can apply 100s of jobs per day as well as focus on prep for interviews.

Scale.jobs has been an excellent help in applying for high volume of jobs which otherwise would be very time consuming. This is extremely useful in the current job market as a high-volume approach helped me get few interview calls which I wasn't getting earlier. Also, they keep bringing in new features such as the networking tool. Excited to try it out!

Great service to save time while interviewing. I have been using it for a week. The support is nice and turnaround is within 24 hours. Price point maybe on the expensive side, but you pay for the time it saves to create accounts on several sites and apply jobs.
