The value-add from this service, I'm assuming, is less on the candidate side and more on the company side.

For context, it is really hard for companies to build a pipeline of candidates for technical roles. If your hiring for a technical role, 99% of the ideal candidates you'd like to hire are already employed.

Big layoffs at tech companies release a ton of qualified, immediately-employable technical candidates into the market all at once. For recruiters, and 3rd party recruiting platforms like this one, these candidates represent a massive opportunity. Any engineer who has been laid off in a big round has had to deal with marketing/outreach from recruiters and recruiting platforms (Hired, AngelList, Vettery, etc.)

From what I see, this platform won't give you, as a candidate, any advantage another platform won't.
