How Silent Ridge works

The double opt-in, in one page.

Every application on Silent Ridge starts the same way, and nothing happens until both sides say yes.

  1. A candidate shows interest, anonymously. The recruiter sees an anonymous profile: level, experience, skills and achievements. Never a name, employer, dates or contact details.
  2. The recruiter is interested back, or not. Either way, the candidate is still anonymous.
  3. The candidate decides. They can apply, which reveals who they are to that one company, or decline and stay anonymous on that role for good.

A reveal can’t be taken back, so it only ever happens on the website, with a clear confirmation. If a role closes before anyone applies, nobody is revealed.

Who can join

Silent Ridge is invite-only while we’re in early access.

  • Job seekers request early access and get an email invitation once approved.
  • Companies, agencies and employers alike, request access. A person checks every company before it can post a role or see anyone.

Quiet by design

Silent Ridge only gets in touch when something real happens. See Notifications for the complete list.
