Start hiringHealthcare

Free to post. Pay only on a confirmed hire, refunded within 30 days.

Example screen, simplified from the app.

Built for fit, so the people you hire stay. One match at a time, met in person, decided on a deadline. Why zydeby:work

Free, in-person networking that's actually useful

For healthcare workers, and everyone else: a mentor who's done it, peers one field over, referral partners who share your clients, and small circles that meet monthly. All of it is free.

One match at a time, blind until you both say yes, met side by side with phones down: one puzzle, then a real conversation. Networking

Example screen, simplified from the app.

Why this exists

Résumés stopped meaning anything

AI writes them and one click sends them. Being met in person and vouched for by people who've seen you work is hard to fake.

Good people don't live on résumés

Nurses, aides, medical assistants and allied health, like the trades, are best judged by the people who've worked beside them.

Agencies cost a big share of salary

Here it's 1% of the typical salary, only on a confirmed hire, refunded if they leave within 30 days.

Management mismatch drives turnover

We match how someone wants to be managed against how the manager actually manages, before anyone meets.

Nobody gets ghosted

Blind until both say yes, tested for fairness, a 2-business-day answer on every match, and follow-through shown to both sides.

Networking is broken

Mixers are awkward, online networks are transactional, paid peer groups are expensive, and most people never get a mentor. Here it's free and in person.

Being present

No résumés. No chat. Just meet.

A tap-only questionnaire, short work stories and real references replace the résumé. The app plans the meetup with taps. Story arcs

Blind until you both say yes

Each side decides on fit, expertise and vouches before seeing a name, a face, an age or a school. How the reveal works

Vouched for by people who've seen you work

Managers, peers and clients vouch with a few taps. What any one person said is never shown. Vouches

Phones down: one puzzle, then a real conversation

Every first meetup includes a 5 to 15 minute activity with a napkin, coins or a pen. Why we do this

How it works

  1. Answer the basics

    Your city, languages, occupation, experience level and the kinds of matches you want. A few minutes. You can be matched right after.

  2. Add depth when you like

    Short sections on how you work and how you like to be managed, a few work stories, your skills, your licenses and vouches.

  3. Get one card

    Both of you see it at the same moment: fit labels by category, experience, vouch counts. No names or photos.

  4. Decide privately

    Within 2 business days. If either says Pass, nobody learns anything.

  5. Meet side by side

    A facility tour, a coffee or a site walk. One short activity at the table, then the conversation.

Questions

Is it really no résumé?

Yes. There's nothing to upload. You answer one questionnaire by tapping, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

Is there any chat?

No. Both sides decide privately, and the app plans the meetup with taps: an activity, a place, a time. The conversation happens in person.

What does it cost?

Joining, getting hired and all networking are free. Employers pay 1% of the typical salary only when a hire is confirmed. Project fees are paid by the hiring side when work is awarded. Pricing
