Spray-and-pray is not an efficient job acquisition strategy for seekers or recruiters.

Interest must be reciprocated.

Coopid enforces this by design.

Tools like Simplify accelerate the wrong behavior; autofilling 200 applications floods recruiter inboxes with low-signal noise and teaches seekers nothing about fit.

Coopid brings the dating app "mutual match" model to co-op hiring.

What It Does

• Seekers swipe right on jobs ranked by a personalized match score.
• Recruiters only review candidates who already swiped right on them, eliminating cold spam.
• A mutual right swipe instantly creates an Interview. Both parties have confirmed interest.

How We Built It

• No databses, purely in-mem store, leveraging Next.js singletons
• Recommendation engine scores seeker-posting pairs using a weighted ensemble of:
  • Jaccard similarity (matching required vs. available skills)
  • Candidate metrics (experience recency, GPA, etc.)

The constraint is the feature. Removing spray-n-pray doesn't limit opportunity, but rather surfaces the ones that actually matter.
