Hiring, reimagined as a reel feed.
ZickZak is a video-first hiring marketplace. Job seekers scroll a vertical feed of jobs and apply in one tap with their own intro video. Recruiters post roles, browse candidate reels, run a hiring pipeline, chat live and schedule interviews, while company and platform admins manage everything from a web console.

The story
From problem to product.
Slow, text-heavy hiring. A video-first app. Faster, more human matches.
- Step 01
The challenge
Applying for a job usually means long forms and text-only CVs, and recruiters can't see who a candidate really is until the first interview.
- Step 02
What we built
A video-first hiring marketplace: a reel feed of jobs with match scores, one-tap video applications, a recruiter pipeline with live chat and interviews, and web consoles for company and platform admins.
- Step 03
The result
Seekers apply in one tap with an intro video, recruiters meet candidates before the first call, and mobile and web stay in sync on one backend.

What makes it work.
- 01
A reel-style job feed
Jobs play as short vertical videos, ranked by match score, freshness and quality, so seekers browse the way they already watch.
- 02
One-tap video applications
Seekers apply with their own recorded or uploaded intro reel instead of a cover letter.
- 03
A real hiring pipeline
Submitted, Viewed, Shortlisted, Interview, Offer and Hired, with every move sending the right message automatically.
- 04
Live chat and interviews
WebSocket messaging with read receipts, interview invites inside the chat and auto-generated meeting links.
- 05
Mobile and web in sync
The iOS, Android and web apps and the admin consoles all share one backend, so every screen shows the same data.
- 06
Safe and secure
Role-based access, isolated company data, signed media links, login lockout, and block and report tools for users.
See it in action.
Jobs you scroll like reels, and apply to in one tap.
Smart where it matters.
Match score
Every job shows a clear match score with a per-factor breakdown: skills, experience, location, role and salary.
Smart ranking
The feed balances match, freshness and quality, and avoids showing the same company again and again.
Recruiting assistant
Recruiters ask questions about their hiring data in plain English and get answers from their own company's records.
Confirmed actions
The assistant can suggest moving a stage or pausing a job, but nothing happens until the recruiter confirms.
AI job descriptions
Draft a full job description in seconds, with a built-in template fallback so it always works.
Notifications that fit
Each hiring step sends the company's own message template by in-app, push or email, with an undo window.
