The challenge.
Companies are overwhelmed with irrelevant applications, some jobs receive up to 180, often poorly formatted, while job seekers spend countless hours polishing CVs only to be ghosted. This mismatch wastes time on both sides.
How it began
It started in 2023 with a single CV. Jean-Paul, then Co-CEO of Mindnow, had never created one before, so the team built him a website that resonated with its audience. That sparked the idea: could we build a platform to help everyone else, too?
Companies that work with Plenio
Employers already rely on Plenio to find the right talent. Structured, comparable profiles and targeted matching algorithms let them decide faster, with far less time lost to irrelevant applications.
A unique brand
Plenio is not just what you see, but what you feel when using it. Typography, colours, and icons form a consistent visual language, and from microcopy to transitions, every detail was crafted to carry the same signature.
Multiple applications, one overview
Reviewing multiple job offers and ongoing applications can be time-consuming and overwhelming. We built the process so both sides of the match can see where they stand in a few steps.
The approach.
- 01.
User Research First
We interviewed job seekers and employers with diverse backgrounds. The common struggle was the beginning: finding relevant jobs and creating application documents for the first time.
- 02.
Semantic AI Matching
With ML-based data extraction and LLM-supported semantic matching, Plenio connects candidates across the board, from the top 3% to the remaining 97%, scalable, multilingual, and data-driven.
- 03.
Privacy by Design
Multi-signal profiles are built from clicks, edits, confirmations, and rejections, fed into continuous feedback loops, while minimising the collection of personal data.
Result
Plenio is a living service that evolves with its users, adapting to their changing careers, skills, and ambitions, powered by self-hosted, fine-tuned LLMs and semantic embeddings.
