Disruptajob
I built a hiring platform that matches candidates to companies based on evidence from real projects rather than CVs or job titles.
Problem
CVs and job titles flatten what people actually do, underselling anyone whose role spans multiple functions, and AI-generated applications have made polish worthless as a signal — leaving proof as the only thing that can't be faked.
What I built
I built a Next.js app on SQLite (via node:sqlite, no ORM or external DB service) where candidates tag real projects with capabilities and companies describe required capabilities instead of writing job descriptions, with matching done as explainable set overlap. I made capability scores computed at read time rather than stored, enforced privacy gates (discoverability, company blocking) in SQL rather than application code, and added rate limiting, full data export, and real account deletion.
Outcome
It's been live at disruptajob.com since 16 October 2026 with sign-up, legal pages, and transactional email all working.
