The problem
Job hunting is unnecessarily painful.
Most candidates are flying blind. Without structure or shared insight, the same frustrations repeat — and the silence is taken personally.
Feedback rarely arrives
You spend hours tailoring an application — and hear nothing back. There's no signal to learn from.
Ghosting is the default
Even after interviews, replies dry up. It's exhausting and there's no way to hold the process to account.
Hiring stays a black box
Timelines shift, expectations are unclear, and you're left guessing what's normal and what isn't.
The solution
Bring structure and honesty to your search.
Palto turns scattered emails and rejections into a clear record — your own data, plus anonymised insight from the wider community.
Track every application
Log roles, sources and statuses in seconds. One calm place for the whole search.
Capture response times
See how long companies actually take to reply — and which ones never do.
Spot real patterns
Response, interview and ghosting rates that help you focus your effort where it counts.
How it works

About Palto
Built for people the system keeps quiet about.
Palto exists because the recruitment process has become unpalatable — silent, opaque and demoralising. We're building a calm, honest place to record what's happening, spot the patterns, and make better decisions about where to spend your energy.
Palto is part of the Made Grand family.
