For Employers

Attract candidates who
believe they belong

Traditional job boards drown you in applications from unqualified candidates. Our stake-based mechanism filters out spray-and-pray applicants and surfaces people who have genuinely evaluated their fit.

Why Upshot

Benefit

Self-Selecting Applicants

When candidates stake money, they think carefully before applying. You receive applications from people who genuinely believe they're qualified.

Benefit

Credible Signal

A stake is a concrete demonstration of confidence. It cuts through resume fluff and cover letter boilerplate to reveal genuine intent.

Benefit

Manageable Volume

Instead of 250+ applications, expect a focused pool of serious candidates. Every application deserves—and can receive—real consideration.

How It Works

Your Commitment

Your stake proves you're serious too

When you post a role, you stake 2.5% of the annual compensation. This signals to candidates that this is a real opportunity, not a phantom listing to collect resumes.

  • Clear descriptions win: Your stake return depends on your hiring efficiency—the ratio of offers to applications.
  • High efficiency is rewarded: Maintain a high offer rate and receive your full stake back, plus potential bonuses.
  • Clear requirements help: Clear requirements help candidates self-select, protecting your investment.
