My Experience Changing Jobs via Findy
Introduction
I look forward to your comments or edit requests on GitHub for corrections or additions.
Main Topic
I will introduce the good and bad points of Findy, which I used during my career change.
Findy is a very convenient service for anyone considering a job change.
I moved from a startup to a listed company through Findy.

Evaluation of Actual Use
This is a 5-point scale evaluation.
- Overall service usability: 4
- Message usability: 4
- Ease of noticing notifications: 5
- Quality and quantity of participating companies: 5
- Unique features: 5
It's excellent.
I will write about each evaluation item.
Overall Service Usability
Findy can only be used in a browser.
Aside from that, it is very easy to use.
Almost all necessary functions are provided.
Search can also be done with detailed criteria.
For example, you can narrow down by industry and job type in detail, such as CTO positions, contract work (業務委託) being OK, or the financial sector where joining from a side job is OK.
Message Usability
Since there are no editing or cancellation functions, it feels like an older version of LINE.
However, the exchange of messages is very smooth.
URLs automatically become links, and files can also be sent.
Ease of Noticing Notifications
Since it can be linked with LINE, you almost never miss a notification.
Notifications come from LINE Notify when a message is received or when a "Like" is received.
Quality and Quantity of Participating Companies
My impression is that there is a wide range, from large corporations to startups.
The industries are also quite broad.
I think you can achieve a variety of careers.
Unique Features
It is no exaggeration to say that I wrote this article to recommend this to everyone.
I really want you to have a "User Success Interview."
It is so amazing that I will introduce it.
What is the User Success Interview?
A representative will have a one-on-one interview with you. Regardless of whether you are actively considering a career change, they will help you design your future career while considering whether a job change is the right option for you. During the interview, they will ask about your career history and what kind of companies you are interested in. After that, they will introduce you to matching companies. If a company is interested, they will send you a "Like," and you will start with a casual interview. If you decide to proceed to the selection process, they will also provide interview preparation. You can receive feedback from the company after casual interviews or formal interviews. By receiving feedback, you can understand your weaknesses and prepare for the next stage of the selection process. After an interview, they will call you to hear your impressions and feedback for the company and then relay that feedback to the company. No other service does this much. And remarkably, it is free. They truly respond with genuine care. They even provide support for scouts you might have received on other platforms.
If you contact me via my Twitter DM, I can introduce you to my representative. You can receive a 5,000 yen Amazon gift card, so please feel free to use this.
If you're not interested in a personal introduction or DMs, you can sign up for an interview here:
Summary
Findy was a very user-friendly service.
The User Success Interview, in particular, is a feature you won't find in other services.
The design is simple and easy to use, and you can really feel their commitment to making things better for engineers.
Please give it a try.
For skill sheets (resumes), the following site is easy to use:

Bonus
Findy has a feature to calculate a "skill deviation score."
However, please treat this score only as a reference.
When I actually asked company recruiters, they mentioned that the skill deviation score doesn't matter much.
Instead, they emphasized that having a comprehensive resume and CV is what's important.
