SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Oct. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- SANTA CLARA – October 14, 2015 – Available on iOS and Android, Trustly is a mobile app that offers job seekers, recruiters and other business professionals a way to connect to each other through friends and friends-of-friends. It has just raised an undisclosed about of venture capital for its seed round.

Users sign up after getting a text to their mobile number and after adding contacts from their address book, they're shown a feed of relevant activity from their friends and their friends-of-friends. Active job seekers can upload their resumes and use their social network to find job information, get referrals from their friends, or apply directly to a position. Recruiters can contact active and passive job seekers about new opportunities and get confidential feedback from their mutual friends. However, it's not only for people in the job market; anyone can use the app to meet new friends and create meaningful connections (through trusted sources) to share information, get advice or form partnerships.

“I created this app after I was unexpectedly laid off and couldn't even get an interview with a potential employer,” said Alex Rex, co-founder of Trustly. “Then some friends started telling me about internal positions they knew about and it was then that I realized then how important my social network was to my professional career.”

Trustly is free to download. It's available in The App Store and on Google Play.
