Mentat is building a world where the job search process is simple, painless and completely automated. It's a world where as soon as you decide you want to change your career (or start it if you're a student) you get connected to the right companies immediately and directly show up to interviews. Even if you're not looking to change jobs immediately, you know exactly what your market value is and where you could potentially work. Where instead of wasting time looking at dozens of websites and filing hundreds of applications, you talk directly to the decision makers. This sounds very different from what the job search process is like today, but in the world of missions to Mars and artificial intelligence, we are excited to use the same cutting-edge technologies to solve one of the most fundamental problems facing everyone in the world.
