Vetta Soft‑Launches Hiring Platform That Generates 120 Matches in 72 Hours — With Zero Job Applications

New Haven, CT – December 23, 2025 – Vetta, an AI‑powered talent‑matching platform on a mission to unshitify hiring, today announced early results from its soft launch: 120 candidate‑to‑role match events in just 72 hours, achieved with zero traditional job applications submitted. Designed for both frustrated job seekers and overwhelmed hiring teams, Vetta connects employers with people who have actually solved their problems, rather than those who simply match a list of keywords.

For years, job seekers have been trapped in a cycle of mass applications, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) rejections, and ghosting, while recruiters are buried under resume spam, AI‑generated CVs, and ghost jobs they never truly intend to fill. This broken dynamic wastes time on both sides and erodes trust in the entire hiring process.

Vetta takes a different approach. Instead of starting with keyword‑stuffed job descriptions and polished resumes, employers describe the real problems they need solved, and candidates showcase concrete outcomes and proof of work. Vetta’s AI then surfaces candidate‑to‑role matches directly, so the traditional “submit application and hope” step becomes optional.

"Early data from our soft launch: 120 candidate‑to‑role match events in 72 hours. The application count stayed at zero. That is not a flex," said Richard Samela, Founder & Head of Product at Vetta. "It’s evidence that hiring doesn’t need to run on resume spam. We built Vetta for people who feel invisible in traditional hiring and for every hiring manager who’s sick of drowning in noise."

In an announcement earlier this month, Vetta outlined its promise to employers: "You get 10 real candidates, not 1,000 maybes. People who’ve solved your problems, not matched your keywords. Proof of work, not polished stories." The company also committed to tackling some of the most frustrating trends in today’s job market, pledging "no resume spam, no ghost jobs, no deepfake surprises" for teams that use the platform.

Vetta’s soft launch, which began around December 15–16, introduced transparent pricing for employers: an introductory month at 49 USD, followed by 99 USD per month for continued access. This subscription gives hiring teams a curated stream of vetted matches, along with the signal they need to decide which conversations to start—before scheduling a single interview.

Employers can begin by defining a real challenge their team is facing, from shipping a new feature to cleaning up a broken process, and Vetta’s AI will surface candidates who have solved similar problems in the past. Job seekers can join the platform to be discovered based on outcomes and proof of work, rather than how well their resumes thread an ATS needle.

Vetta is currently in public soft launch and is continuing to onboard both employers and candidates who are ready to rethink how hiring should work.
