Problem
Most job seekers rely on job boards or recruiters whose incentives don't align with the candidate's success, and many people end up in roles that don't match their strengths or interests. The job search process is often serendipitous and inefficient, leaving qualified candidates without access to the right decision makers.
Solution
Lia connects job seekers directly with companies that match their stated preferences through an AI-powered referral service. Users tell Lia about their career preferences, and she sends curated opportunities that align with their requests, then introduces them directly to hiring managers or founders at relevant companies. Candidates can choose to passively receive matches in their inbox or proactively browse Lia's network of 1,000+ contacts and request introductions. The platform works on behalf of the candidate rather than the employer, focusing on understanding individual skills and ambitions to find the right fit.
