Content aside, but that mix of “Stanford MBA, Forbes under 30” self-promotion and informal “Hi David” feels nauseating. Maybe it’s an US thing, but it reads like a parody of LinkedIn’s worst excesses and if anyone would ever introduce themselves the only sensible response would seem “Why, thank you, I'd like to awfully, but I'm having labor pains.”

What an insane and ridiculous business proposition.

He raised $10M for this? Obviously from stupid people with a lot of money. Because there is no way they are ever going to see any of that back.

Assuming he is telling the truth - it is entirely possible that everything in the into is just the usual lies and BS.

Completely ridiculous! As someone who previously worked in HR, it's pretty standard advice to candidates -- going back decades -- that any agency that expects the candidate to pay is a scam. This is advice that job seekers will receive regularly, and of course it may already be obvious to many of them.

This whole thing sounds like it's bots all the way down, and all the way up.

Can those seeing jobs deduct their costs? (And, if so, from what income - people seeking jobs sometimes don't have any income from which they can make a deduction.)

Not only are you paying these fucking sociopaths, you’re actually paying to be handled by an AI agent.

There was a recent study where over 90% of job applications were rejected by company LLMs if they were not written by an LLM.

At that level any company with a non-human LLM as the first reviewer is already requiring a resume writing service be used.

and from that experience my conclusion is still: when candidates pay, congratulations on completely removing the incentive to provide a product at all
the recruiting model only works because their paying customer is one that comes back when the recruiter does a good job; in this model, the paying customer only comes back when the recruiter fails
