Brilliant careers start with brilliant connections!
We’ve stripped away outdated systems and replaced them with a thoughtful, human-centered approach to matching great people with great opportunities. Discover what makes our process different.
Brilliant Hires was created by Jerome Ricketts, a Toronto-based web developer who studied Web Development at Humber College. Frustrated by the outdated and impersonal nature of traditional job boards, Jerome set out to build something better.
He noticed how job seekers were often reduced to keywords, and employers were flooded with irrelevant applications. The process felt distant, inefficient, and frustrating on both sides.
Brilliant Hires was built to solve that! It gives candidates a better way to present their full experience and helps employers focus on the people who actually fit the roles they’re looking to fill. What started as a simple idea has grown into a platform focused on clarity, trust, and better hiring for everyone.
Brilliant Hires isn’t just another job board, it’s a platform built to evolve with the way people hire and get hired. We’ve reimagined the process to focus on quality, visibility, and meaningful interaction, giving users the tools to stand out and connect effectively.
Here’s how we set ourselves apart:
Smart Profile Ranking
Candidate visibility is earned through profile completeness, engagement, and authenticity not just paid boosts. The more active and detailed a profile, the higher it ranks in employer searches.
Verified Companies, Transparent Reviews
Employers are marked with verification indicators, and their reviews are public, helping candidates make informed decisions based on real experiences and reputation.
Flexible Tools for All Users
Whether you’re a startup hiring your first employee or a candidate fresh out of school, we offer both free and premium plans to help you reach your employment goals. You only pay for the features that matter to you!
Unlimited Applications and Real Connections
Apply freely to as many jobs as you like. With direct messaging (available on select plans), searchable candidate directories, and actionable insights, Brilliant Hires puts control back in your hands on both sides of the table.
We’ve focused on removing friction, adding transparency, and empowering our users to take charge of their hiring journey brilliantly!
Trust isn’t just a feature it’s the foundation! We believe that transparency empowers better decisions, builds credibility, and creates a hiring environment where everyone benefits.
Open Reviews, Real Feedback
Public reviews are visible across both candidate and employer profiles, giving users insight into real experiences not just curated claims.
Visibility Earned, Not Bought
Profile rankings are based on completeness, engagement, and authenticity, not just who pays more. The more effort you put into your profile, the more discoverable you become.
A Safer Hiring Space
We maintain clear rules to protect the community from fake listings, spam, and abusive behavior. Verified company indicators and moderation tools help keep the platform professional, fair, and focused on meaningful connections.
We’re committed to creating a hiring ecosystem where honesty, accountability, and respect are built into every interaction.

I received a call within 48 hours of applying. The platform made the process smooth and transparent. Now I'm preparing for my final interview!
Loved how easy it was to apply. Got two interviews lined up in one week. Super responsive employers!
Very user-friendly! I saved listings, applied with one click, and got hired within two weeks.
The ability to manage applications and communicate with candidates directly through the platform has streamlined our hiring workflow significantly.
Posting jobs is straightforward, and the response rate from qualified applicants has been impressive. The platform's user-friendly interface is a major plus.
I was able to message companies directly and that made a huge difference. I'm hired now!
The job alerts were on point. I applied to three roles and landed an interview the same week.
I loved how customizable my profile was. A few of the places I applied to commented on how professional it looked!
Easy to use, global reach, and I even got an offer from a company in Dubai.
We’re built to evolve and we’re just getting started!
We’re actively investing in features that make hiring smarter, faster, and more insightful for everyone on the platform. Here’s a preview of what’s coming next:
Advanced Job Listing Analytics
Employers will soon gain deeper visibility into performance with metrics like impressions, search rankings, keyword triggers, and candidate engagement over time.
Enhanced Employer Verification Tools
We’re expanding our verification process to give candidates even greater confidence when evaluating job listings, company profiles, and employer credibility.
Powerful API Integrations
Deeper integrations will make it easier for businesses to sync with applicant tracking systems, post jobs programmatically, and manage candidate pipelines seamlessly.
Brilliant Hires is committed to continuous improvement shaped by feedback, guided by data, and always aligned with our mission to modernize the hiring experience.
Brilliant Hires started as a personal frustration, watching great people get lost in clunky systems and seeing employers buried in noise rather than finding the right fit. I wanted to build something more practical, more honest, and more helpful for both sides of the hiring process.
I shaped this platform into what I couldn’t find elsewhere. It’s built with purpose, guided by real-world problems I’ve experienced firsthand. Brilliant Hires isn’t just a product, it’s a response to a system that too often forgets the people at the center of it.
This is a platform that grows through use, not guesswork. Every feature is driven by feedback, every improvement meant to make hiring just a little more human. If something feels off, we listen. If something works, we double down.
If you’re a job seeker who wants to stand out or an employer looking for clarity, you’re in the right place. This is your invitation to be part of something better.
