So, youโre curious to know who is behind this? ๐ค
Hi, Iโm Mathilde! The one-woman team behind Woody! Iโm the one curating jobs, designing the site, writing blog posts, and promoting all of it.
Now, Woody counts 8,000+ product designers across sign ups and social media using it in their job search, 20,000+ monthly views, and dozens of recruiters using it on a daily basis via their ATS or posting directly.
A little bit about me
After 5+ years in recruitment, I became obsessed with transitioning into a more creative career. I experimented with illustration, freelancing in gaming, and product design. Deep down, I knew I wanted to create something of my own!
So I decided to combine everything: my curiosity for building an online platform, my experience in recruitment and gaming, where I struggled to source the best creative talents, and what I knew the market needed. Thatโs when Woody came to lifeโand itโs had many lives!
Woody started as a no-code challenge so I could learn how to build online. Then, it grew into a job board for Web3, and to my surprise, it gained amazing traction, with talents loving it. When the market shifted, one thing remained: product designers still showed interest.
Product designers were signing up, giving feedback, and looking for cool, creative jobs. They loved the look and feel of Woody. So, when I specialized Woody exclusively for product designers, the numbers kept growing!
That was the right niche, but it was also just the beginning of the journey.
What is Woody?
Woody is a job platform that helps product designers throughout their career and creative recruiters find the right talent ๐ค
I believe thereโs a job for everyone, and a good candidate for every job, but the matching process should be much more efficientโwithout gatekeeping, hidden fees, or insane prices.
To make it work, the traditional job board model needs to be dusted off!
No more massive aggregators, but instead, tailored and human-first job platforms that ensure both job quality and volume.
Thatโs why I'm building a powerful system to do just that.
How does it work?
๐ Woody integrates with top ATS and recruiting softwares, so recruiters can post in one click (dozens of recruiters post on Woody daily via Ashby)
๐ A system that scans the web for the best creative companies (+2000 scanned already)
๐ฌ A daily โinboxโ with the latest best product design jobs (as soon as they are posted on career sites) so that I can come in and handpick the best ones that are relevant to you!
๐ Personalized job alerts to help you apply to the right jobs that match your skills, and spend less time looking everywhere for jobs.
๐ฉโ๐ป Woody also partners with niche product design communities to share jobs to the most relevant candidates and support each other.
