On Wanted, a company will need to commit to salary first, based only on skills and experience, they don't need to have your details to commit to a salary on a job opportunity.

We run everything in-house to keep everything fully anonymous and steer clear of data sharing.

How is Wanted different from any other hiring platform?

We do want everyone to be able to use Wanted and to be able to keep an eye on their respective job market. We are, however, currently focusing on job opportunities in the following categories:

- Technology (web developer, software engineer);
- Product (product owner, product manager);

In the case that the talent doesn't give the permission to Switch to have their data on the platform, their data is deleted after 24 hours. It can always be re-uploaded should they wish, however, no data is permanently stored.
