What is Kabel?

Kabel is a job platform that connects candidates directly to line managers, allowing both parties to have insights on job expectations and working styles even before meeting for a physical interview. We believe that matching like-minded professionals leads to greater job satisfaction and performance.

How is Kabel different from other job platforms?

We want to encourage more communication during the hiring stage by connecting line managers and candidates directly, instead of traditional application through job description and resumes.
