Hey PH, I built R1 because I wanted the thing LinkedIn was supposed to be: a place where your profile is actually yours, recruiters can share you with a single link, and nobody in between can read your messages. The whole thing is built so that the platform can't read your messages, can't train on your data, and can't hold your profile hostage. I'd love feedback on the crypto and the zero-login share protocol. Try it here: recruiter1.io
The end-to-end encryption angle is what got me to actually click through, and the share link flow is refreshingly simple. Curious how you plan to handle spam if recruiters can't be blocked from the user side.
One thing that would make this way more useful for people like me: let me create a permanent shareable link that shows my latest role and skills without requiring the viewer to log in or download anything. Right now I have to send recruiters into the app which adds friction before they even see my actual experience.
the privacy angle here is genuinely interesting, especially the no-login share thing. one thing i'd want as a candidate though is some kind of read receipt or basic activity signal on my profile, like knowing when a recruiter actually opened it or shared it further. right now you basically send your info into the void and have no idea if anyone's engaging with it. would help close the loop without compromising the end-to-end encryption story
One small thing that would help a lot: when a recruiter shares a candidate's link, it'd be great to see a short preview of what fields the candidate has filled out before I click through. Right now I have to open the link to know if it's even relevant to my role, and that friction means I skip a lot of shares. A quick glance at role, location, and years of experience on the share page itself would make the whole loop way smoother for both sides.
Tried it out and the single-link sharing feels really clean, no logins or weird redirects. Curious how the crypto actually holds up once it scales past early adopters, but the end-to-end messaging pitch is what got me to stick around.
the no-login share flow is genuinely smooth, felt like sending a link and not signing my life away
The end-to-end encryption angle is genuinely thoughtful, especially for a recruiting tool where privacy usually takes a back seat to features.
