Latch Is Not a Job Board. It Helps You Find Roles You Should Apply To.

Latch Editorial

2025-12-18 • 3 min read

Job boards promised opportunity. What they delivered was overload. Endless listings. Duplicate roles. Irrelevant jobs. And a simple expectation placed on candidates: “Figure it out yourself.” Latch exists because that model no longer works.

The Problem With Job Boards Isn’t the Jobs. It’s the Search.

Job boards treat every candidate the same.

  • Same filters
  • Same keywords
  • Same scrolling
  • Same fatigue

You don’t discover opportunities, you hunt them. And the burden is entirely on you:

  • Read hundreds of job descriptions
  • Guess which ones you qualify for
  • Rewrite your resume repeatedly
  • Apply, wait, repeat

Most of that effort leads nowhere.

Latch Takes a Different Approach

Latch is not a place where jobs live. It’s a place where matches happen.

Instead of forcing candidates to search, filter, and guess, Latch flips the model.

  • You create your profile once.
  • Latch finds the roles that align with it.

Create Your Profile Once. Use It Everywhere.

Getting started on Latch is simple:

  • Upload your resume
  • Your profile is created using your resume
  • Your information is securely stored
  • You access it anytime using your login.

No resume tailoring. No job board hopping. Your profile becomes your single source of truth.

How Job Matching Works on Latch

Latch continuously matches your profile against roles sourced from multiple job boards. But here’s the difference:

  • You only see roles that fit your profile.
  • Not everything.
  • Not “maybe” roles.
  • Not keyword-stuffed noise.

Just relevant opportunities.

Latch Doesn’t Collect Applications, And That’s Intentional

Latch is not a middleman. We don’t store your applications We don’t intercept recruiter communication. We don’t replace employer workflows. When you click View Job, you’re redirected to the employer’s original job posting. This keeps the process:

  • Transparent
  • Trustworthy
  • Recruiter-friendly

Latch helps you decide what to apply for, not how to apply.

Why This Matters in Today’s Hiring Market

In a world where:

  • Everyone auto-applies
  • Everyone looks perfect
  • Everyone is exhausted

The real advantage is focus. Applying to fewer, better-aligned roles increases:

  • Response rates
  • Interview chances
  • Hiring outcomes

Latch helps you apply less, not more, and win more because of it.

Latch Is Built for Signal, Not Volume

Most platforms optimize for:

  • More listings
  • More clicks
  • More applications

Latch optimizes for:

  • Better alignment
  • Faster decisions
  • Less wasted effort

Because hiring isn’t about volume. It’s about fit.

Who Latch Is For

Latch is for candidates who:

  • Are tired of endless scrolling
  • Want clarity, not chaos
  • Prefer relevance over reach
  • Believe their time matters

If job boards feel overwhelming, Latch was built for you.

The Future of Job Search Is Matching, Not Searching

Job boards made sense when hiring was simple. Today, it’s not. The future belongs to systems that:

  • Understand candidates
  • Reduce noise
  • Respect attention
  • Surface the right opportunities at the right time

Latch is not a job board. It’s a job matching engine designed for how hiring actually works today.
