How does anyone decide which companies to apply to?

Jobseeker tend to spend a lot of time finding companies and browsing through each companies website to find a position.

What if you don’t have to go to each companies individual website. Just select names of all the companies you like or know. The tool gives you a list of all the current jobs the company has posted. In this case multiple companies details all in one excel file.

Thus saving time on researching and rather focus on crafting your profile for that role.


True but what about existing job boards? They also mean you don’t have to go to every company website. Is this approach better than that?

You are right, job boards solve the aggregation problem. What they don’t solve is still you have to manually sift through hundreds of listings.

Instead, the idea is to surface a small set of companies/jobs where you’re more likely to get a response.


Ok great. I would frame your product in those terms. It’s not an abstract feature - it’s an improvement on job boards! Sounds like a promising idea.

From my conversations with recruiters from big or small organizations they already had a lot of options and tools to post and manage job postings and candidate pipeline. The only problem they kept on saying was that it’s difficult to find high quality or skilled candidates.

The problem I identified is that candidates are the ones who are actually struggling to standout in a crowded job market and get discovered by their skills.

So I built https://spotlytt.com

Never new recruiters had the problem of managing candidates.

My feedback. “Everying you need” section is little text heavy. If you can cut down little bit on it.

“Product tour” section I liked the most. Such clear understanding on what small agencies are getting.


Very interesting stats. Your website interface, design is also easy to use.

A question for you. Did you built it, just for fun to compare EU vs the world or is there some insight that you are trying to share ?

forget to add one stat. Europe is the place where both World War I and World War II started.


Thanks! Both, really. I built it because I kept seeing the same claims repeated — "Europeans are overtaxed for nothing", "Europe has no more free speech", etc. — and I wanted to check them against actual data. Turns out the data overwhelmingly supports Europe on most quality-of-life, safety, and democratic metrics.

The insight I'm trying to share: Europe is significantly stronger than the narrative suggests, especially the narrative that's been dominant in US-centric tech/media circles. Most people I talk to — including Europeans — are surprised by the numbers. I figured if the data is that compelling, it should be easy to access and hard to dismiss.


And who is making the "data" ? Who is funding it ? The EU lol.

You need to be able to read between the lines to see that the EU is free falling, research your own data dont be spoon feed this fake crap that EU is putting out


The sources are listed on every chart. The life expectancy data comes from the World Bank (headquartered in Washington, D.C., majority-funded by the US). GDP figures are from the IMF (also DC-based). Democracy scores come from the Economist Intelligence Unit (a British organization). Press freedom is from Reporters Without Borders (Paris-based NGO, independently funded). CO2 data is from the Global Carbon Project. Gun violence stats are taken directly from the Gun Violence Archive, a US nonprofit. Healthcare spending comparisons are from the OECD (funded by its 38 member countries, including the US, Japan, Australia — not an EU institution). The live electricity data comes from ENTSO-E, the grid operators' transparency platform — it's raw generation data, not opinion.

These are not "EU data." If anything, most of the sources are American or international. You're welcome to check any of them — every metric on the site links to its source. That's the whole point.


Feel free to try out. If you like it.
