## What is Scout8?

Hiring, mutual.

  Scout is a two-sided hiring app. Job seekers swipe on jobs. Employers swipe on candidates.
  When both sides like each other, it's a match — and the conversation starts.

  No cover letters. No application black hole. No ghosting by design.
  — FOR JOB SEEKERS —
  
  • Build a profile once. Use it everywhere.
  • Drop in a résumé and Scout fills in the rest.
  • Swipe through jobs hand-picked by our match engine — based on what you've actually done, not
   just keywords.
  • See the role, the company, the location, the must-haves. Decide in seconds.
  • When an employer swipes back, you've matched. Chat opens. Schedule an interview in-app.
  • Free, always.
  
  — FOR EMPLOYERS —
  
  • Post a role in minutes.
  • Swipe through candidates who already said they want the job.
  • Track everyone in one place: Match → Replied → Interview → Offer.
  • Schedule interviews without leaving the app. 
  • Outcome-priced. No subscription. No per-seat fees. You only pay when you actually hire
  someone through Scout.
  
  — WHY MUTUAL? —
  
  Traditional hiring is one-sided: candidates apply, employers ignore. Scout requires a yes from
   both. That means no wasted applications, no wasted screening calls, no one talking past each
  other.
  
  When you match on Scout, both sides have already said: yes, I'm interested.
  
  — BUILT FOR REAL HIRING —
  
  • AI match engine that reads skills, experience, and what each side actually wants
  • In-app scheduling with calendar and video
  • Employer Kanban to move candidates from match to offer
  • Available on iOS and on the web

  Scout is built by people who hated hiring on both sides of the table. Mutual, fast, respectful
   — the way it should have been all along.
