For job-seekers
A personal CRM for job seekers — the hidden job market runs on warm contacts, not job boards.
Most roles are filled before they're posted — by someone who remembered someone. Endearist keeps the recruiter who said "ping me next quarter," the ex-colleague who offered an intro, and the referrer you owe a thank-you, all in one place that's yours.
The hidden job market is people who already know you
The role you actually want will reach you through a person, not a portal — a former teammate who hears about an opening, a friend-of-a-friend who forwards your name. Endearist maps that layer: who knows you, who offered to help, who works where now. When a posting appears, you check the journal first and discover you already know someone two steps from the hiring manager. That's the application that gets read.
"Ping me next quarter" actually happens
Every search produces a handful of almost-yeses: the recruiter who liked you but had a freeze, the team lead who said the headcount opens in Q3. Those are the warmest leads you have — and the ones everyone forgets. Set a per-contact cadence on each one and Endearist resurfaces them on schedule, with your notes from the first conversation attached, so the follow-up sounds like a continuation instead of a cold restart.
Close the loop with everyone who helped — in 90 days, not never
Someone put your name forward. Whether or not you got the job, that person took a small risk for you, and most candidates never report back. Log who referred you, who made an intro, who reviewed your CV — then let the cadence remind you in 90 days to tell them how it went. The job seekers who close loops are the ones who get referred again, search after search.
Don't be the person who only calls when unemployed
The worst time to rebuild a network is the week you need it. Endearist's warmth score shows you which professional relationships have quietly gone cold — the mentor you haven't messaged since 2024, the old manager who'd vouch for you if you were still in touch. A coffee now, while you're employed and relaxed, is worth ten LinkedIn messages later, when every hello smells like an ask.
Your search stays private — interview notes, salary numbers, all of it
What an interviewer told you off the record, which number you floated in the salary call, which contact warned you off a team — none of that belongs on someone else's server, and certainly not anywhere your current employer could surface it. Endearist is local-first: notes live on your device, sync is optional and end-to-end encrypted. Free up to 25 contacts, which covers most active searches end to end.
The network outlives the search
A job search ends; the fifty conversations it generated shouldn't evaporate with it. The recruiters, the interviewers you clicked with, the people who rejected you kindly — they're the head start on your next search and, more importantly, your next five years. Import what you have via CSV or vCard, export everything as Markdown whenever you like, and pay €69 once if you outgrow the free tier. No subscription clock on your relationships.
