For engineers at top-tier companies
- Employment verified at recognized employers—not another open job board
- Explore without broadcasting job-seeking intent; stay anonymous at work until you're ready
- Identities unlock only after mutual opt-in
Two sides, one verified bar.
Private scouting for top-tier engineers—and the teams who hire them.
Verified employment and privacy until mutual opt-in, with matching on specific skillsets and massive-scale experience—without public job-search noise on either side.

Why it exists
Job boards optimize for reach. Baseline optimizes for signal.
For engineers and hiring managers who care about fit, not noise.
For hiring managers who want that filter
- Employment verified at recognized employers—profiles you can trust, not the open internet
- Match on specific skillsets and massive-scale experience—not keyword games
- Mutual opt-in before names—reach people through intent, not cold outbound noise
How it works
Verify employment, match on skills and fit, reveal names when it's mutual.
Same bar for everyone. Hiring needs spelled out while identities stay private. Conversation only after mutual opt-in.
- 01
Verify employment at a qualifying company
Engineers and hiring managers both prove affiliation—major tech and other vetted, scaled employers. Same bar, both sides.
- 02
Define what you need, match on fit
Hiring managers list the skills and experience they're looking for. Strong fits surface in scope, stack, skillset, and scale—still no names or gossip until both sides want more.
- 03
Reveal only after mutual interest
When you're both in, names and direct conversation unlock. Until then, privacy holds.
Privacy and trust
Privacy by default—not a toggle you add later.
You are not shown to hiring managers at your current company—that separation is built in.
- Work email is used only for one-time verification.
- Raw work email is deleted after verification.
- Identity stays hidden until both sides choose to reveal.
- You are not visible to hiring managers at your current employer.

If you work at a qualifying employer—or you hire for teams that need skillset and scale signal—Baseline is for you. If not, a general job board is a better fit.
