Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Julian, one of the co-founders of Openspot and we’re building a platform born from the frustrations we've all felt with traditional, static resumes and outdated networking platforms.
Let’s be honest:
📉 LinkedIn feels more like Facebook than a hiring / networking platform.
📎 Resumes are just decorated bullet points and aren't built for a competitive job market. How do you get to know someone or stand out through bullet points?
🤝 Networking? Awkward and superficial.
We built Openspot because we were tired of feeling invisible in a sea of sameness.
What makes it hit:
📹 Add a short video or voice intro
🪩 Beautiful profiles that feel human
🎯 Built for standing out, not feeding the content machine
🔍 Recruiters can search you via natural language (yes, really)
🧑🎤 Prompts that help people understand the person behind the profile.
We started this with a simple hack: building personal sites and video resumes that actually worked. Now we’ve turned it into something anyone can use in minutes.
🚀 We hit #1 on Hacker News last week with 450+ comments and wild feedback.
🛠️ We're raw, bootstrapped, and building this for people like us.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked or boxed in by traditional platforms: try Openspot.
We’d love your feedback, your ideas, and yeah… even your roasts.
Let’s make job searching and networking actually human.

@mogabr Thanks so much! really appreciate that!
Yeah, totally agree execution is tough. From our perspective, Peerlist and Polywork are still pretty close to LinkedIn in terms of structure: basic profiles, followers, feed, etc. Just with a slightly more modern coat of paint.
We're trying to go a different route: no social feed, no likes, no “personal brand” pressure, just scrollable, expressive profiles that help you stand out when it matters (especially with optional video/audio).
And yep, we’re already talking to a few early hiring partners to make the network more valuable on both sides 🙌
Would love to hear who you’d go after first if you were us!
@mogabr @fliellerjulian Best of luck sir

Hey PH Community! 👋
I’m Kassidy, co-founder of Openspot alongside Carol and Julian.
There’s no single secret sauce to landing a job, but we believe the process should feel more human. You’re more than just bullet points on a resume, and Openspot is our way of making sure you can actually show that.
Here’s to making meaningful connections and landing your next opportunity! 🦦

👋 Hey everyone! I’m Carol, co-founder of Openspot alongside Julian and Kassidy.
We’ve poured a lot of heart into building something that actually feels meaningful, because we’ve all felt how frustrating and dehumanizing the traditional job search and networking platforms can be, especially in a competitive job market.
Excited to share this with you all and looking forward to hearing what you think. Cheers! 💙
Congrats on the launch! Looks really cool!!

Excited to see Openspot redefining professional networking! 🚀
As someone tired of LinkedIn’s noise and the rigidity of traditional resumes, Openspot’s focus on authentic, multimedia profiles (videos, audio clips, thoughtful prompts) feels like a breath of fresh air. No more drowning in a sea of bullet points—this platform actually lets professionals show their personality and skills.
Why I’m impressed:
Human-first design: Networking feels less transactional and more meaningful.
Job search made dynamic: Stand out with video/audio snippets instead of static PDFs.
Built by a team that clearly understands modern hiring pain points (Julian’s note about LinkedIn becoming "Facebook for resumes" hits home!).
For anyone craving a no-BS, clutter-free alternative to LinkedIn, Openspot is worth a try. Team—curious: How do you plan to tackle the "cold start" problem of attracting early users?
Congrats on the launch! 👏
