The playing field,
leveled.
A hiring platform where candidates and employers meet as equals. Verified skills. Accountable employers. No more begging.
Other platforms sell candidates. We protect them.
LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter—they make money from employers. That means employers are the customer. You're the product.
You're the Product
On other platforms, your data gets sold. Your profile gets scraped. Recruiters pay to spam you. The platform optimizes for employer clicks, not your career.
The Black Hole
You apply. You wait. Nothing. 75% of applications never reach human eyes. Companies collect hundreds of resumes they'll never review. Your time means nothing to them.
Keyword Roulette
AI tools match buzzwords, not capabilities. Your submarine reactor experience gets filtered because you didn't write "Kubernetes." The algorithm sees keywords. It misses people.
Gap Penalties
Took time off for family? Survived a layoff? Dealt with health issues? The algorithm sees a gap. A human would see grit. But humans never see your resume.
Proof over polish. Power, leveled.
Leveld flips the script. Employers earn access to you—and we hold them accountable for how they treat you.
Employers Must Respond
Every employer on Leveld agrees to response time commitments. 7 days to first response. No exceptions. No ghosting. If they don't respond, we know—and so do you.
The Scarlet Letter
Employers who ghost candidates, miss deadlines, or waste your time get flagged. Publicly. Their badge stays visible until they earn back trust through consistent good behavior.
Proof Over Polish
No more resume keyword games. Your profile shows verified credentials, real work history, and context for your journey. Employers see evidence—not how well you optimized for their ATS.
Your Story, With Context
Gaps aren't red flags—they're chapters. Explain your pivots, your transitions, your non-linear path. Turn what algorithms penalize into proof of resilience.
You're Not the Product
We don't sell your data. We don't let recruiters spam you. Employers pay us—not for access to you, but for the privilege of being held accountable to you.
For candidates. For employers.
For everyone the system ignores.
For Candidates
- Veterans translating military experience to civilian roles
- Career changers breaking into new fields without "required" backgrounds
- Self-taught professionals without traditional credentials
- Parents returning after caregiving
- Anyone whose path doesn't fit a keyword search
- People who are tired of being ghosted
For Employers
- Teams who need resilient people, not polished resumes
- Companies building diverse, non-homogenous teams
- Hiring managers who want verified skills, not keyword bingo
- Leaders who know the best people rarely have linear paths
- Organizations willing to be held accountable for their hiring process
"I spent 21 years on submarines doing things most corporate hiring managers can't comprehend—never mind AI. When I transitioned, the algorithm filtered me out. I watched good people get ghosted, ignored, and treated like their time meant nothing. That's why I'm building something different. Employers should earn access to great candidates—not the other way around."
Leveld was founded by a veteran who spent 21 years in the Navy's submarine force, built security teams, served as incident commander for major incidents, and trained thousands. He started this because the hiring system is broken—and the most resilient people are the ones getting screened out while employers face zero accountability for wasting their time.
