How is Via different from a traditional job board or LinkedIn?
Via acts more like a smart, digital recruitment partner than a job board. It helps you build a profile that reflects your skills, experience, and career preferences - then matches you with roles that genuinely fit. Instead of endless scrolling or applying into a void, Via guides you through a structured screening process, ensuring a strong match on both sides. Every candidate gets a fair shot, with transparency and feedback built into every stage of the journey.
Is Via really free to use?
Yes, Via is completely free for job seekers. We believe in making the job search process as smooth, fast, and accessible as possible. You can join Via, create your profile, and get matched with relevant opportunities at no cost. Our goal is to help you advance your career without any barriers.
Who can see my profile or personal information?
Privacy is at the heart of Via. Your profile remains completely private by default - employers can’t view your personal details until you’ve been screened and confirmed as a strong match for a role. Only once you’ve been shortlisted and have chosen to move forward will your information be shared with the employer. Until then, you can explore and engage with opportunities in total confidence.
How quickly will I get matched to jobs?
Matches can appear instantly once your profile is complete. Via’s algorithm continuously checks for roles that fit your skills, goals, and location - no waiting around, no generic listings.
How does the screening process work?
Once you’re matched to a role, Via guides you through a short, tailored screening process designed to highlight your fit - not trip you up. You’ll answer a few quick questions or prompts related to the role, which help both you and the employer understand alignment before progressing. It’s fast, fair, and designed to give every candidate a genuine opportunity to stand out.
Can I use Via if I’m not actively job hunting?
Absolutely. Via works for passive candidates too - you can stay anonymous, get occasional matches, and only engage when the right opportunity appears.
