The problem

Online applications are a black hole

Submitting resumes into online portals has a 2% success rate. The best jobs are filled through referrals before they're even posted.

Online applications have a 2% response rate, and your resume disappears into an ATS

The best roles are filled through internal referrals before they're posted publicly

You already have connections at target companies, but you either don't know it or don't know how to ask

Asking for referrals feels awkward and time-consuming without the right tools

Browser Extension

See your connections on every job posting

The Village browser extension shows you who in your network can refer you, right on LinkedIn, company sites, and job boards.

Village has been a crucial tool for our fundraise as it allows us to reach our extended community's network that would have previously not been available through a tool like LinkedIn

I've been using Village since August 2022 and can't recommend it enough. The team is awesome and the product is unmatched if you're trying to figure out how to leverage your network. I went from zero to a funded startup thanks to Village.
