Private · Vouch-based · Trusted circles
Alumden brings together past colleagues into private circles so you can vouch for each other, share opportunities, and support real applications when it matters.
The problem
Hiring is broken. LinkedIn is a billboard. WhatsApp groups are noise. The trusted referral, the one that actually gets you in the room, lives in someone's memory.
You're competing with thousands of strangers. The signal-to-noise ratio is brutal. Being “connected” means nothing.
By the time you see the opportunity, 40 people have reacted. There's no structure, no context, no follow-through.
The best career moments come from someone randomly remembering you. Alumden makes that systematic.
How it works
Alumden structures the network you already have and puts it to work.
Accept an invite from a past colleague, request to join an existing circle, or start one for an organisation that isn't here yet. Circles are private spaces for people who have actually worked together.
Back colleagues with a one-click thumbs-up when full prose feels like too much. Write a vouch when you want to say something specific: your own tags, your own words. Both live on their profile.
Post roles from your company directly to people in your circles. Interest flows back through trusted hands, no recruiters, no noise.
Vouches from people you've worked with collect on your profile, and you choose which ones are public. Share one with a hiring manager when it counts: a living record of what real colleagues think of your work.
The vouch
A vouch on Alumden is not a LinkedIn endorsement. It's a private, considered act of professional support from someone who has seen your work first-hand.
Trusted opportunities
Click “Interested” on a role and the poster, your connector, decides whether to write you a referral. When they do, your profile, their note, and the vouches you choose become a dossier that reaches the company through someone who already knows your work: a warm introduction, not another anonymous submission.
Early access
Alumden is a private network. Sign up, then either accept an invite, request to join a circle, or start one for a company that isn't here yet.
