NetWork: IT Community & Jobs

NetWork is a professional network built for one industry and closed to everyone else. If you work in engineering, data, AI, design, product, DevOps, security, QA or IT support, this is for you. If you sell insurance, it isn't. It is not a job board with a social tab bolted on, and not a feed with a careers page attached. It is three things that belong together: the people, the rooms they talk in, and the work they're looking for. THE PEOPLE MATCHED BY WHAT YOU BOTH WANT Most networks connect you by who you already know. NetWork connects you by intent. You say what you're looking for — a job, a cofounder, a mentor, a mentee, freelance work, a project collaborator, an advisor, investors, first customers — and what you can help others with: referrals, hiring, mentorship, introductions, technical help, product feedback. Then it shows you the people whose answers fit yours. VOUCHES, NOT ENDORSEMENTS Back a specific skill for someone you've actually worked with. The app records who backed what and keeps the list. No one-click endorsements, no way for strangers to inflate each other. WARM INTRODUCTIONS AND MENTORS Ask a connection to introduce you to someone you don't know, with a note saying why — an explicit ask the other person can decline, which is what makes a yes worth having. Mentors open a limited, visible number of sessions, so nobody is quietly ignoring a queue. THE ROOMS A FEED WITHOUT THE PERFORMANCE Every post is one of five things: an Ask, something you're Building, an Update, something you're Offering, or Hiring. That's the entire vocabulary. There's no room for a motivational thread because there's no post type for one. CIRCLES Public, moderated rooms for one topic each — Backend & Distributed Systems, Data & AI, DevOps & SRE, Frontend & Mobile, Security, Interview Rooms, Pay & Offers, Switching. Ask what a company actually paid, or what they actually asked in the loop, somewhere the answer isn't a recruiter. THE WORK ROLES, STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE Every listing is synced from an employer's own careers page — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and others. No reposts, no aggregator spam, no agency listings for jobs that don't exist. You apply on the company's own site. Filter by country, state and city, discipline, skill or remote. SEE THE GAP BEFORE YOU APPLY Every role shows which required skills you have and which you're missing. When a listing publishes no requirements it says so rather than guessing. QUICK SORT Two hundred roles isn't a list you read, it's a list you scroll past. Quick sort gives you one at a time: swipe right to shortlist, left to pass, tap to open it. Passes are remembered, so nothing you rejected comes back. AFTER YOU APPLY Most trackers ask what stage your application is in. For anything sent to a company's own careers page you cannot know — nothing reports back. So NetWork asks what actually happened and works out the rest: • Waiting — sent, no reply yet • Chase up — quiet long enough that a follow-up is the obvious move • In conversation — a human came back to you • Closed — offer, rejection, or you walked away The Chase up column fills itself. Log a follow-up in one tap and it resets the clock without pretending anything moved forward. The numbers behind it — what's live, what's overdue, how long things have really waited — come only from what you recorded or what the app can see. New roles matching your saved searches are checked on-device and notified locally. Matching never leaves your phone. AND NOTHING ELSE No sales roles. No MLM pitches. No motivational posting. No recruiters cold- messaging you about a rockstar ninja opening. The restriction is the product, not a limitation of it. Free. No ads.
