Hiring local shouldn't be this hard

We talked to the people on both sides of local hiring, and everyone was losing.

Owners and managers of cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels told us about CV piles that say nothing about the person, and about giving up a shift to interview someone who never shows up. For front-of-house roles, personality is the job — and a CV can't show it.

Applicants told us about the other side: hour-long application forms, applications that vanish into a black hole, and never hearing anything back. Being treated like a keyword match instead of a person.

JobFairy fixes both at once. An employer creates a role with a few short questions and shares one link. Applicants answer in short videos, on their phone, in minutes. The employer meets the person before booking an interview — and every applicant hears back. Less wasted time for everyone, and a fairer shake for everyone.
