Gilji

AI-powered job search platform that predicts hiring, exposes ghost jobs, and maps warm introduction paths

Project overview

Gilji is a comprehensive AI-powered job search platform designed to give job seekers an unfair advantage. Instead of the traditional "spray and pray" approach, Gilji helps users access the hidden job market through intelligent hiring predictions, network mapping, and ghost job detection. The platform includes six integrated features: Hiring Predictions, Warm Path Mapper, Ghost Job Detector, Interview Simulator, Resume Optimizer, and an Intro Marketplace.

What was the problem?

The modern job search is fundamentally broken. 59% of applications never reach a human recruiter, while 70-85% of jobs are filled through networking rather than applications. Job seekers spend hours perfecting applications that disappear into a black hole, with 44% reporting being ghosted by employers. The process takes a significant mental health toll, with 72% saying job searching has negatively affected their wellbeing.

Solution

Gilji flips the traditional job search on its head by helping users access the hidden job market with intelligence and warm connections. Rather than applying blindly, users can predict which companies will hire, find their path in through existing networks, and avoid wasting time on fake listings.

AI-powered Hiring Predictions that analyze funding events, headcount changes, and market signals to predict which companies will post roles 30-60 days in advance

Warm Path Mapper that visualizes the fastest network path to any company through LinkedIn connections with AI-generated introduction templates

Ghost Job Detector that instantly scores any job posting 0-100 for legitimacy, with a Chrome extension for automatic scoring

Interview Simulator with realistic AI-powered mock interviews and instant feedback on responses

Resume Optimizer that provides ATS compatibility scores, identifies missing keywords, and tailors resumes for each role

Intro Marketplace connecting job seekers with employees willing to provide referrals, even without existing network connections

Functionality

The platform provides a complete job search command center with real-time application tracking, search health scoring, daily action recommendations, and personalized momentum coaching. Users can manage their entire job search journey from a unified dashboard with dark mode support throughout.

The results of our collaboration:

Comprehensive Dashboard with job search health score, today's actions, quick actions panel, and recent activity feed

Application Tracker with status management, company details, and application autopsy for rejected applications

Predictions Engine showing predicted hiring companies with confidence scores and recommended approach timing

Network Visualization displaying connection paths to target companies with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree connections

AI Momentum Coach providing daily check-ins, rejection analysis, interview prep tips, and emotional support

Complete Settings Suite including profile management, notification preferences, subscription tiers, and third-party integrations

Client Success Stories

Trusted by innovators worldwide

Don't just take our word for it — hear from the founders, teams, and leaders who've built with us.

“They didn't just build us an app — they actually understood why our customers shop the way they do. The whole experience feels natural, and our operations run so much smoother now. Honestly, the platform paid for itself within the first few months.”
Pearl DumnuiCo-founder, Happy Grocers
“We needed branding that said 'modern and trustworthy' without being boring. What we got back was spot on — the designs feel fresh but also serious enough for a digital contracting platform. It gave us the confidence to go out and pitch to investors with a polished identity from day one.”
BuddySign TeamBuddySign
“Our logo needed to speak to young entrepreneurs and seasoned stakeholders at the same time. Not an easy brief. But the final design just works — it's vibrant enough to feel exciting and professional enough to put on government partnership documents. We've gotten more compliments on our branding than anything else.”
Startup Namibia TeamStartup Namibia
“We're an AI-powered platform, so our branding had to feel techy without being intimidating. The logo they designed hits that balance perfectly — clean, modern, and it scales well whether it's on a website header or a tiny app icon. Simple brief, but they executed it really well.”

“We came in with a rough idea of what WealthBeeing should be, and left with something far better than we imagined. The team took the time to really learn the financial advisory space before writing a single line of code. That extra effort shows in every corner of the platform — our clients notice the difference.”
Padung SopatvorapongCo-founder & Managing Partner, WealthBeeing
“Cross-border B2B payments in Africa is not a simple problem to design for. There are compliance flows, multi-currency edge cases, and enterprise users who don't have patience for clunky UIs. The team handled all of that and delivered something our pilot clients actually enjoy using — which is rare in fintech.”

“The car rental space in Namibia is messy — lots of WhatsApp back-and-forth and zero transparency. I needed a platform that handles both car owners and renters without either side getting confused. They built exactly that, and the agile process meant we could test features with real users and adjust quickly.”

“Building an AI product is tricky because the tech has to feel invisible to the user. They nailed that. Our ghost job detection and warm path features are complex under the hood, but the interface makes it all feel effortless. We've had users tell us Gilji is the first job tool that actually respects their time.”

“We had a marketplace idea but no clear picture of how it should work technically. They helped us figure out the booking flow, the payment integration, everything — and built it fast. Within weeks of launching, safari operators were onboarding themselves without us having to hold their hand. That's good product design.”
GoTwende TeamGoTwende
“They really got our vibe. The logo captures everything we're about — young, energetic, but still taken seriously. And setting up our Microsoft 365 workspace on top of that? It completely changed how our team collaborates day to day. 10/10 would recommend.”
