We're building the room the bots can't get into.
Hiring is broken, and AI made it worse. Bots flooded every platform, employers hid behind algorithmic screeners, and real people got rejected without a word. DEALT is the marketplace built so that whole machine has nothing to operate on.
Pay shown. Real people. Jobs real.
That's the whole platform. Not a feature list, three rules enforced at the database. We can't post a job without a pay range. We can't accept a swipe from an unverified account. We can't surface a stale listing as a fresh one. That's the difference.
Three principles. Every decision passes through them.
Most job platforms add features. We pick three things and refuse to add anything that breaks them.
Pay isn't a feature.
It's the product.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive lands in June 2026 and most platforms will add a pay field. We built around pay from day one, enforced at the database, front-and-centre on every card, in copper so it can't be missed. Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
Bots have nothing
to operate on here.
No CV upload to auto-generate. No long-form application to bot-fill. You apply by swiping, as your verified self, phone or Apple. Spray-and-pray tools that drown every other platform have literally no surface to attack.
The AI works for the
marketplace, not against it.
Every candidate is scored on skills, experience, certifications and commute. Employers see ranked, fit-tested applicants. Candidates see roles that are actually open and matched to them. AI pointed at real people, not at noise.
Built for Ireland and the UK. Then Europe.
The work we serve across Ireland and the UK spans hospitality, retail, healthcare, logistics, and thousands of small businesses without an HR department. We're starting where density is right, the regulations are clear, and we know the markets cold. Once Ireland and the UK work end to end, we expand market by market.
We're not trying to be LinkedIn. We're trying to be the default way real people and employers get matched, one market at a time, then ship that playbook.
From idea to launch.
Built the prototype
Three rules locked: pay shown, real people, jobs real. Everything else negotiable.
Closed alpha
Tested with a small group of Dublin employers and candidates. Rewrote half the matching logic when it didn't pass the gut check.
iOS app built
Feature-complete and in final testing. Workers free forever, employers free to post their first two jobs.
Founding Partner cohort opens
250 spots for the first employers across Ireland and the UK. Lifetime Pro for a one-time payment. First 250 employers only.
EU Pay Transparency Directive
Directive 2023/970 takes effect. Every EU job ad must show pay. We're already there.
Ireland launch
DEALT goes live on the App Store in Ireland. Founding Partners post from day one.
UK launch
UK market goes live. Same three rules, currency on every visitor's IP.
Europe
City by city. Wherever pay is hidden behind "competitive salary", we show up.
Built by a small team that uses what it ships.
DEALT is built by a team of engineers with backgrounds in big-tech recruitment and analytics. We started DEALT after watching the hiring market collapse under bot noise from the inside, and decided to build the marketplace bots couldn't enter.
The team is intentionally small. Every product decision still ties back to one question: does this make hiring easier for the people actually using it? When you email [email protected], the reply comes from someone who built the thing you're using.
Real jobs. Real people. Transparent pay. No games.
DEALT launches December 2026 in Ireland. Join the launch list, or get in touch and tell us what you'd build differently.
