You're between things.

Maybe you got laid off in a Zoom call that should've been an email. Maybe you quit because you finally hit your limit on performative Slack reactions and "circle back" meetings. Maybe the contract ended and the renewal didn't come. Or maybe you just woke up one day and realised you'd rather be literally anywhere else.

However you landed here, you're on The Bench now. And here's the thing: this is temporary.

We find the signal. You make the move.

We're a signal engine for designers, developers, and product people who are actively looking for their next permanent role. Not "passively open to opportunities." Not "just seeing what's out there." Actually looking. Ready to move. Done waiting.

We monitor company career pages directly — not Indeed, not LinkedIn, not the same recycled listings everyone else shows you. We find roles as they go live, analyse them with AI to surface what actually matters (funding stage, B2B vs B2C, real remote policy, tech stack), and give you filters that match how you actually think about your next move.

Speed wins

The first 10–20 applicants have a 5× better chance. We show you roles within hours of going live — before they hit LinkedIn, before the pile-on.

Better filters

B2B or B2C, Series A or public, truly remote or "remote." The stuff that actually impacts whether you'd take the job.

We read between the lines

Every role is analysed — not skimmed. We surface what the job post was designed to hide: is the tech stack modern or legacy in a trench coat? Are they genuinely building with AI or just name-dropping it?

What we're not

We're not a networking platform. We're not a professional community. We're not going to ask you to "build your personal brand" or "engage with content." This isn't where careers live — it's where they reload. You're here because you need to be, and when you don't anymore, you'll leave. That's how it should work.

Being on The Bench is weird.

Some days you'll feel motivated and apply to six things. Other days you'll doomscroll and question every decision you've ever made. Both are normal.

The average person is here for 2–4 weeks. Some leave in 5 days. Some take 2 months. There's no timer, no judgment, no pressure beyond what you're already putting on yourself.

The roles are here. The filters work. The timing gives you an edge. The rest is up to you.

Our only goal?

Get you hired, then never see you again.

Well, until you're back. Careers are long, companies fold, priorities shift. If you come back, we'll just say "welcome back" and help you find the next thing.
