When the right fit arises, we introduce you.
We optimize for quality, not volume. We'll choose no match over a bad match every single time.
Candix Intro: Anthropic
Candix
to ***@anthropic.com, me
Hey! Connecting you both as discussed. We're confident this will be an interesting chat.

Direct to manager
Skip recruiters. We'll connect you with the actual person hiring for their team.
Effortless
No resume, no cover letter, no applications. Activate in 1 minute and you're done.
Confidential
Your current and previous employers cannot view your profile.

Who is Candix for?
Candix works best for senior engineers (Software, Data, AI/ML, Robotics) in the San Francisco Bay Area, London, or Paris. You can still join if you don't fit these criteria - we just can't guarantee matches yet.
I'm not actively looking for a new job. Should I still create a Candix profile?
Yes. The best time to join is when you're not actively looking, yet open to the right opportunities. Set your preferences once, then we'll only contact you when there's a real match. No browsing, no maintenance, no recruiter spam.
Can my current employer come across my Candix profile?
No. There are no public profiles on Candix, only direct matching. Your current and previous employers are automatically excluded, plus any companies you add to your blacklist.
Do I need to pay anything?
No, Candix is completely free.
Does Candix make money from placements?
No. We don't charge companies placement fees. Candix is free for both sides. We make money from sponsored searches: companies can pay to skip the queue and connect with matched candidates faster (this doesn't affect matchmaking quality).
How can I turn off my profile?
Please contact us at support@candix.com and specify whether you want to pause or delete your profile. If you opt for deletion, we will remove your data from our database within 7 business days, usually within a couple of hours.

Activate your Candix profile and let us bring the right opportunities to your doorstep. No commitments, no maintenance.
