    I have really enjoyed the experience of searching for roles on Teeming. Additionally I like the concept of cutting through the process of sending mass applications and being able to go directly to founders to make contact.

    My only feedback is that it would be nice to have a view where you can see more of the job description at a glance. Right now you have to click in to each role to get information about the job.

      Many thanks for your kind words and thoughtful feedback.

      Which additional pieces of job information do you think we should surface before clicking?

    I truly appreciate the platform’s design and the logical flow - it feels intuitive and visually pleasant. I also like how the interaction with the company and the role you’re applying for is presented more clearly. The wide range of filters, combined with the option to further personalize with Nell, also gives you extra confidence that all your considerations are being taken into account. Overall, it looks very solid for the stage you’ve reached.

        A search in the dropdowns would go a long way. "AI field" has 700+ entries, and aren't in alphabetical order.

          Excellent point - they are sorted by frequency they appear in the data. We have search boxes in the keyword selectors (funding stage, location, etc) but not in tags where arguably it's most useful. Will work this into an upcoming release. Many thanks!

    Love this approach, the founders really put a lot of time and effort into figuring out what us as users want.

    Job hunting is a serious chore and having good filtering and UI really matters in such a diverse industry, big love for the platform!

    Tried it out, honestly works pretty well.

    The data and filtering feel solid, found navigating the table pretty easy. Not in love with the agent, maybe add multiple threads or preserve context between sessions. Needs a bit of polish here and there with UX still.

    Definitely gonna take another look when I’m next job-hunting as it looks like it's going to be a time saver. Good job!

      Appreciate the feedback!

      Agent is definitely an area I'm looking to improve with persistence and make it truly personalised.
