About Job Machine
Everyone who wants a job should be able to get one.
We built Job Machine to make that real, by automating the work of getting hired so the people who help job seekers can focus on people, not paperwork.
Why we exist
The job market is harder than it's ever been, and it's hardest for the people who can least afford it. Employers have all the technology; the burden falls on the job seeker. Job Machine evens that fight, getting thousands of people hired by doing the work most people can't do alone.
How Job Machine started.
For about a decade, helping people get jobs was Brandon's passion project. He did it for free, on the side, and got hundreds of people hired. Over time he started focusing on military veterans transitioning out of service, and got good at it, and two things became impossible to ignore.
First, it was brutally hard for first- and second-term enlisted veterans to land a job on the way out. Second, there's a whole category of institutions, schools, workforce programs, nonprofits, that have to place hundreds or thousands of people a year, and they struggle, because getting one person hired is hard enough, let alone a hundred.
So Brandon convinced his co-founder, Trey, to build something that could solve it at scale. What they found was that getting hired is mostly a process problem: the hard part is getting people in front of enough of the right interviews. Job Machine is the machine they built to solve that, for one person and for thousands at once.
What we believe.
AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement.
It does the busywork so people can do the human work, the coaching, the encouragement, the judgment.
Outcomes over activity.
We're measured by who gets hired, not how busy anyone looks. The job is the point.
Honest about what we control.
We do the applications, the interviews, the follow-through. We're straight about the rest.
