Pros

- Remote friendly environment - Intelligent and driven individuals - Originally a great product, but slowly dying out

Cons

Jobscan exclusively hires from Canada and Asia because the CEO is stingy with salary pay. He laid off approximately 20 or more employees, all of whom he deemed to be "paid too much." -Absent leadership, micromanagement, and vague communication from the CEO are constant issues. -Half of the employees (even before the 20-person layoff in July 2025) now work in the opposite timezone from the U.S. office, including the CEO, who expects U.S. staff to work late to meet with him. -Priorities are constantly shifting. Time to make any progress or achieve growth is often interrupted by having to shift focus to new projects or initiatives. -Morale is very low across all teams. Everyone who currently works at Jobscan is only there because it's a better option than being unemployed.

Pros

Jobscan's product is great and it has a lot of potential for growth. It has improved greatly since I started years ago. While the benefit of remote work is a given, it has also provided competitive pay and benefits. In addition, it allows a degree of work flexibility that allows an employee to move around and not be confined to a desktop the whole day. The setting of clear and measurable OKRs in recent years has significantly helped teams set direction and pace, track outcomes, and hit targets. The people and teams I worked with are adept in what they do. Most are respectful, hard-working, and passionate about their work. In my team especially, we have championed teamwork, camaraderie, and continually strive to improve and be better. The CEO (also the Owner and Co-Founder) is hands-on and is passionate about giving power to jobseekers by building the best tools. Being a start-up, the company has pushed hard to get ahead of the competition which is why the CEO expects teams to meet or even exceed expected OKRs. My experience working with the CEO has been great. The CEO is reasonable, provides timely feedback, and is understanding. Also, one of the core qualities of the CEO that I admire and have emulated is the genuine concern for job seekers such as those who have been struggling and stressed out trying to land jobs.

Cons

The company lacks manpower. The company needs to hire more people to fill in the needed personnel per team.
