Problem
Job seekers face endless applications to automated job boards with little response, while recruiters waste resources on large databases of passive candidates who are not actively looking for new roles.
Solution
GetonBoba offers a searchable talent pool of professionals who have explicitly opted in as actively looking. Candidates create a detailed profile once, specifying role specialization, tech stack, experience, salary expectations, and availability, and remain searchable until they mark themselves unavailable. Recruiters can filter candidates by specialization, technology, years of experience, salary range, work type, location, and availability, then unlock contact details to reach out directly without intermediaries. The platform’s deep role taxonomy and real‑time availability signals ensure that recruiters connect only with high‑intent talent, reducing time‑to‑hire and eliminating the noise of passive candidates.
