Head of Growth

Up to half of all job ads are fake right now. Clearly, that needs to be fixed.

Why is this happening?

Ghost jobs. Companies are posting roles they have no intention of filling, to collect CVs for later, or to look like they're growing. 81% of recruiters admit their company has done it.

Everyone is applying for everything. AI writes an application in seconds, so people now apply for hundreds of jobs instead of a handful. Applications per hire have tripled since 2021. It takes around 200 applications to produce a single job offer.

And there are fewer jobs to apply for. Job openings in the US are down 40% from their 2022 peak.

So a job seeker sends hundreds of applications, half of them into roles that don't exist, competing against hundreds of other people who also used AI, and hears nothing back for months.

Then it gets worse...

In May 2026, artificial intelligence became the single most cited reason US employers gave for cutting jobs, the first time that's ever happened. The same technology cutting those jobs is writing the applications for the people who lost them.

Whether AI destroys jobs permanently or just reshuffles people into new ones, the outcome is identical: millions of people entering a job search process that is already broken. That's the thing we're building for.

How we fix it

We built a job search engine that employers can't post to.

Every other job site lets companies pay to show their job ads. We do the opposite, we go out and scan 100,000 company websites every hour and pull millions of job listings in, straight from the source.

And it's working...

Across the industry, 2 to 3% of job applications lead to an interview. On Credible it's 13.3% - about five times better. 175,000 job seekers have signed up so far.

The business model.

Our primary product is a job search engine built for the US market, which is currently free to download and use to search and apply for jobs, with optional paid premium features. We are working toward a critical mass of active job seekers on our platform, where we will begin building our next product focused on both sides of the market.

Where you come in

We have three people. Nobody's full-time job is growth. That's the gap. We're looking for someone who has successfully scaled either a TikTok or Meta campaign (or both), who can own the entire process from start to finish, with the goal of lowering our CAC and maximising our LTV in any way you see fit.

You'd own paid acquisition completely:

• Running Meta or TikTok ads as our main channel, at whatever spend the numbers justify
• Finding and briefing creative, and building a system that keeps producing more of it
• Campaign setup and audience testing
• You'd also get involved in landing pages, sign-up flow and anything you think helps convert free users to paying ones
• Owning the numbers: what a customer costs, what they're worth, how fast they pay back

Bonus if you've run an organic UGC or creator program. We also want a channel that isn't at the mercy of an ad auction. Not essential, but it moves you up the list.

The offer

You'd initially join on a 2-month full time contract at $80,000 per year, which turns into a permanent offer, plus a salary bump to $120,000 per year within 12 months, plus cash bonuses for hitting targets we'll define before you start.

Significant equity in the company. We want you to actually own the company you're helping to build.

A foundational role. You'd be our fourth hire and the first person dedicated to growth. If this goes well, you'll be building your own team to sit underneath you.

Real freedom. You'll be told what the economics need to look like, everything else is completely up to you. If you have an idea, you'll get to try it.

How the first two months work

Two month probation. We'll write the targets into your contract before you start, in actual numbers, and review at week four and week eight with honest feedback rather than saving it up. If it isn't working we'll tell you early and part ways properly. If it is, the pay rise and the equity follow.

Who this is for

An up and coming marketing professional who wants to step up and become very senior very quickly. Someone who has personally run and successfully scaled either TikTok or Meta campaigns end to end, and can walk me through a campaign - what the numbers were at the start, what they were at the end, and what they changed in to get there. Someone who wants to own an outcome rather than manage a channel. Someone a few years in who's impatient about the ceiling above them.

To apply

Email ***email_hidden***. Tell me about a campaign you ran: what the cost per acquisition was when you started, what it was when you finished, and what you changed. That's more useful than a cover letter.
