Questions about Zydeby Work
Common questions
What is Zydeby Work?
An app, in your browser and on iPhone and Android, that matches people for work: getting hired, hiring, project work, mentoring, peers, trade partners, co-founders and small circles. Matches are blind until both say yes, and every match ends in an in-person meetup. There's no résumé and no chat.
How much does it cost?
Free for members. Employers pay 1% of the typical salary for the role on a confirmed hire; project hirers pay $99 to $1,999 on award. Verifications are optional. Pricing
Where is it available?
Open now in the 50 largest U.S. metro areas, plus 18 more Texas metros, from El Paso and the Permian Basin to the Rio Grande Valley and the Gulf Coast. Cities
Do you run drug tests or physicals?
Drug tests, physicals and registry checks are part of the employer's own hiring process after an offer. The app doesn't run or store them.
Does it work for shift work?
Yes. Pick days, evenings, nights or rotating, 8-, 10- or 12-hour shifts, 3 x 12s, weekends, PRN or per diem, on-call, a 2-2-3 or continental rotation, or a 7/7, 14/14 or 21/7 hitch. Say "only these" and nothing else matches; otherwise a stretch just ranks lower. Meetup times are offered around your shift, and never inside it. On a hitch, set "On hitch until" and nothing new starts until you're back.
Which fields and industries?
All of them: every one of the 23 standard occupation groups is in the picker, from public O*NET data covering about 1,000 occupations. Industries
Why can't I message my match?
Because the point is to meet. Both of you decide privately, then plan the meetup with taps. The conversation happens in person.
Who sees my answers?
No one. Matches see fit labels by category, never your answers. You choose up to 3 things to share, shown only if you both say yes. What's hidden, and when
When do they see my name and photo?
Only after you both say yes. Age and gender are never shown. In hiring, your schooling stays hidden until after you've met.
How fast will I get a match?
When a good one exists, it appears right away. If none clears the bar yet, the app says so honestly and shows about how many members fit your picks. Adding references or a section helps.
How long do I have to decide?
Two business days. Weekends pause the clock. Each side can ask for 2 more days once per match.
What happens at a meetup?
A short activity at the table, 5 to 15 minutes, with things like coins, a napkin and a pen. Then the conversation. One phone lies on the table with the steps; nothing is scored. Meetups
Does the app use AI?
In two narrow ways: it picks the 5 things you can share with each match and writes your private work profile. It never decides for you. Matches are suggested by an automated tool, and people make every decision.
Is my data sold or used to train AI?
No. Your data is never sold or used to train outside AI.
Can I take a break?
Yes. Pause from Settings: open matches finish and no new ones arrive. You can also deactivate, or delete your account; deletion is final after 30 days.
