Job boards fill up with stale PDFs and ghost profiles. Cookie Hire is a file cabinet of people paying to stay visible — active, current, and ready for you to search.
Product Designer, 6 yrs
Backend Engineer, Go/Rust
Growth Marketer, early-stage
When candidates fund their own visibility, you get a board where every profile means something — not another resume upload from 2019.
Filter by role, skill, location, and availability. You query a live index — not a pile of PDFs from a job post that closed six months ago.
Candidates pay to keep profiles open. Stale accounts fall off the board — so when you see a file, someone is actually looking.
Candidates pay to keep profiles open and current. Employers see structured files from people actively looking — not ghost listings from 2019.
Browse teasers without an account. Create a company profile to unlock full files, resumes, and direct contact — no subscription required.
Message candidates when there is a fit. No application queue, no ATS black hole — you reach the person, not applicant #412.
Skills, experience, education, and availability in one searchable record — built for discovery, not buried in a one-page attachment.
This is what employer search looks like — query by role and skill, scan published files, and shortlist before you unlock contact details.
