A Game-Changer for Modern Hiring!

I’ve been using the pepelwerk Hire App for several months now, and it has completely transformed the way we approach talent acquisition. Unlike traditional job boards or outdated ATS platforms, pepelwerk is truly focused on skills and potential—not just resumes.

What I love most:

✅ Skill-Based Matching – The app intelligently matches candidates based on skills, goals, and potential fit, which has led us to more meaningful hires who actually grow with our business.

✅ All-in-One Hiring Solution – From job posting to screening and onboarding, pepelwerk keeps everything streamlined in one place. It’s easy to use, even for non-HR managers.

✅ Candidate Experience – Applicants have a clean, modern experience too, which reflects well on our brand. They’re guided through assessments and job matches without getting lost in a sea of listings.

✅ Future-Focused – This platform is clearly built for where the workforce is headed—more flexible, more skill-driven, and more human.

Since switching to pepelwerk, we’ve seen better applicant quality, faster time-to-hire, and higher retention. It’s a must-have tool for any company looking to modernize their hiring approach and connect with the next generation of talent.

Highly recommend!

Great app for my career goals

This app is a game changer for career goal setting, access to career guidance and being able to match with jobs and relevant education that doesn’t break the bank. Coming from working in the recruitment industry I knew I didn’t want to use the traditional (and time consuming) approach of job search and send my resume to the black hole that’s indeed and similar job boards. Pepelwerk’s unique matching technology is refreshing to experience. I matched, interviewed, and got an offer all within the app. Now I use the app to stay relevant with courses and have also used their attributes assessment as a tool for self development and in conjunction with career coaching. I heard they will be launching mentor matching. I look forward to learn more about that feature! I appreciate their AI career guidance features.

A game changer!!

I’m truly so thankful to have found this app!! I am a recent college grad that has tried all the traditional job boards and was unsuccessful in landing the perfect position for me. But this app is a complete game changer. I went through their Work Readiness Program and enjoyed it. Their coaching sessions are easy to schedule. And I am happy to announce I have matched with a full time job in a career I’m excited to begin!

Great concept for those in career transition or starting out

In January I was starting my search for a new job, but not having a corporate job (working for myself) made it difficult to know where I fit in with my skill set, and not having a traditional journey on my resume made finding a new career slow-going. By March I had a great job that is really ideal for my life circumstances & allowing me to showcase my skill set. I love the concept of assessing my skills and personality to match me to a job in addition to solely experience, and the openness to new endeavors this creates. Every update of the app becomes more user-friendly, so hopefully everyone coming along after me will have an even better experience!

NO Tech Support - Literally!

I had an issue setting up the account, so I clicked on the button that said “Contact Us” and “Contact Support.” Both took me to the FAQ page, but that is all!
There is NO way to email Tech Support or the Webmaster, NO Phone Number, NO Form to fill out - Nothing! The only reply to the failure of setting up the account was to Try Again Later - I did and Nothing changed.

A correction to the broken system

Pepelwerk helped develop my skills and get me in a job field that actually suited me!! Can’t recommend enough!

Response from developer

We are glad you were able to use the tools to upskill yourself to stay prepare for changes in the working world.

Lack of Opportunities, Poor Matching

Downloaded the app years ago but had issues setting up profile. After addressing this I just haven’t received any worthwhile opportunities on my coastline, forget about my state. I have no reason to purchase a membership or seek out coaching sessions when I haven’t seen any proof that they try to send me searches. Word of mouth and pavement pounding has served me more.

Great app for new grad

I recently graduated from my master program and Pepelwerk is the app that saved my life in Covid-19 time.
It is definitely a harsh year for new grads but I’m glad that Pepelwerk gives me the great opportunity to develop my skills while getting connected with companies that need new grads like me. I learned Python, Java and Machine Learning through courses provided by Pepelwerk and I got my offer with a Pepelwerk job match last week with the new skills I learned. Super grateful about everything that Pepelwerk gave me!

Best pre-hire experience ever

I found myself in transition at 55 and having not been through a job search in a while. I felt like I was experiencing a lot of unconscious bias due to my age as well as young recruiters inability to assess my value given I’ve sold intangibles most of my career.

The pepelwerk app let me highlight my skills without any mention of my age. I loved how when I got a match I was notified and if I accepted it went right to scheduling and interview. Feedback was immediate and I wasn’t ghosted after the interview. I got immediate feedback on next steps.

I’ve worked for several Fortune 100 companies with 2 in HR Consulting and my experience with pepelwerk was far better than any of them. I’d highly recommend using pepelwerk.

Transitions, upskilling, reskilling yourself at any age can be a challenge. We are glad that we provide a level of services that provided such value to you.

Hot mess

A good idea but a horrible execution.
Took weeks to find me matches and not at all worth the price.
You can get a “coach” to help you get a job but that’s $55 dollars on top of the membership you pay monthly ($13).
Why pay this much when I can just network on LinkedIn and have endless job postings for $30.
Plus the app is slow and full of bugs that need fixing.
Wouldn’t bother with this app again
My advice: go create a LinkedIn profile and use their services

Thank you Pepelwerk!

A must have job finder app

Creating a profile was simple and highlighted my skills and experience in a modern way, compared to my resume. I was well informed through app notifications and emails when I had matches. I recommend giving it a go.

Love the concept and user friendly

Setting up my profile was simple and straight forward. I love the idea that you match with employers instead of hunting them down trying to prove your skills. You list your skills and not your resume which allows you to do jobs you’ve never done before. Resumes hinder you based on only what you’ve done not what you can do and I love that this platform sets you up for your future not based on your past. I also like that you don’t have to go through so many links and processes to try and get to the employer instead your connected directly to them.

Lots of bugs

Can’t finish my profile on iPhone 6 running 12.0.1. Keeps not accepting my location, plus can’t enter info backwards (state first for ex. ). App just quits. Giving up as this is my 2nd try. Needs work.

Crickets. Too new?

Profile upload is easy enough, although could do with more options for criteria and interests. Must be too new a product and still adding a user base because it’s been absolute crickets since joining.

Good concept

Just out of school and love the idea behind the app
