I don't like that the homepage says "free, free, free", then reveals that it's charging recruiters. This is perfectly reasonable way to monetise, but it's not a free platform - it's a platform that charges the recruiters.

To be fair, there is a "For Talents" and "For Recruiters" selector at the top of the page. For talents, it is a free platform.

That's because it's the most accurate way to phrase it for candidates. We also state clearly in the FAQ on the front page how we make money.

Sounds mostly like a regular job board, except the hard work of describing the job/vacancy is left to the candidate rather than the employer.

I somewhat dislike the idea that you're still essentially stuck with the recruiter in the middle. And I fear that like any other directory it quickly turns into a spam platform. Candidates bugged by unwanted phone calls, startups digging through piles of recommendations...

Have you checked the onboarding? It only asks for your preferences (specifically, type of contract, availability, salary, and location), not for a description of the job or vacancy.
