Haystack is a data insights platform created specifically for people working in tech. We uncover, highlight and curate all of the information available to us so that you can survey the community of which you are a part and access the most interesting career opportunities for you.

Sign up to Haystack and create a profile. You can enter as little or as much information as you like, however, the more of your profile you complete the more features you unlock. These questions are specifically designed to match you with employer data that we hold, so there’s no guesswork involved. We then match you with jobs and employers that correspond with your own interests whether that be in terms of stack, culture, scale or location.

We only match based on the information you provide and the information we hold. You will see the most relevant matches first. Haystack will not push job roles on to you or spam you with unsuitable opportunities. The same goes for phone calls. We have very clear communication preferences. There is a feature to book a call with us at a time that works for you to discuss what you’re looking for, but, other than that, we won’t call you.

No. When you sign up for Haystack you can tell us your reason for joining the community – whether you only want access to our insights, are curious as to what alternative careers might be out there, but not yet ready to engage or whether you are actively looking for a new challenge.

Haystack is a completely free service for techies. You don’t have to pay a fee at any time on our platform.
