Yaseen Ammaar, a 23-year-old seasoned freelancer with seven years of experience, was working on platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, and LinkedIn, however, he found it increasingly cumbersome to find relevant gigs.
The challenge was compounded by exclusive Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp groups where valuable job opportunities often get lost in a sea of messages.
His solution was Sniff!
What is Sniff?
Sniff is a cutting-edge tool designed to revolutionise job searching for freelancers. It collects job postings from LinkedIn, Twitter, and Freelancer, but it primarily focuses on unofficial channels like private groups on Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp.
This allows Sniff to tap into an untapped market of hidden job opportunities that traditional job boards often miss.
Currently, Sniff is gathering around 1,000 job posts per day. It refines this data by filtering out spam and outdated listings, ensuring you only see the most relevant and up-to-date jobs. With a user-friendly interface similar to ChatGPT, Sniff makes the job search process super easy. You can quickly search for jobs with queries and prompts like:
Prompt: I need a web developer to build an e-commerce website. Response: I have found several web developers who can help with your ecommerce website. Here are a few profiles: [Link]
