Before JIWON: No More GPT-Crafted Resumes
We all know it. Hiring by just reading resumes? It's like judging a book by its cover. Great title? Sure. Great story? Who knows. π That's why we built beforeJIWON Instead of relying on just polished resumes (or worse, AI-generated cover letters), we help you discover what really drives a candidate β what makes them excited, focused, and alive at work.
βοΈ Here's how we do it:
- Add personalized, lightweight questions to your scout flow.
- Candidates answer naturally, like posting on social media β no formal essays, no GPT blurbs.
- Understand their true motivation, work styles, and potential β before the interview.

π§ββοΈ The magic?
- Companies get to truly understand candidates' real motivations and vibes β not just their credentials.
- By asking the right questions early, teams connect faster and hire with confidence, without bias.
- It's a smarter, more human way to build strong teams, from the very first step.
π¨ Why it matters:
Startups can't afford bad hires. We need fast, meaningful connections β not just shiny CVs. before JIWON helps you cut through the noise and meet people who actually vibe with your mission.
β Scout beyond resumes. β Catch real potential early. β Hire people who truly belong.

We're a team from Korea, and there's a special reason why we built Before JIWON. In Korea, when you apply for a job, you're asked to write something called a "μκΈ°μκ°μ" (self-introduction essay). It's an old, outdated tradition β 500 to 2,000 characters about your strengths, weaknesses, and why you're applying. It feels like writing a mini novel. We even call it "μμμ€" β which literally means self-novel. π It's painful for candidates to write. π It's torture for companies to read. And now? AI writes most of them anyway. No soul. No vibe. No real connection. We hated this. So we decided to change the game β not just for Korea, but globally.
