The Hiring Process Is Becoming Less Visible. We're Building More Transparency, Not Less.

On August 10, 2026, Indeed will remove the interviews tab from its Company Pages.

For job seekers, that tab was one of the few places where you could see community-sourced information about what a company's hiring process actually looked like — how difficult the interview was, how long the process took, and whether the overall experience was positive or unfavourable. It wasn't perfect, but it was something. It was a window into a process that otherwise stays completely dark.

That window is closing.

Indeed hasn't publicly explained why. But the result is the same regardless of the reason: job seekers will have less information available to them than they did before.

This is part of a larger pattern

The platforms that job seekers rely on most were not built primarily for job seekers. They were built for employers — the paying customers. Features that serve candidates tend to survive only as long as they also serve the platform's commercial interests. When they stop being useful to the business model, they get quietly removed.

This isn't an accusation. It's just the reality of how ad-supported, employer-funded platforms work. The incentives don't point toward you.

What that means in practice is that the hiring process has always been structurally invisible to the people going through it. Companies have access to data at every stage — how many people applied, who moved forward, what the timelines look like. Applicants have almost none of it. You submit your application and disappear into silence.

And now, one of the few tools that gave candidates a glimpse behind the curtain is being taken away.

We're moving in the opposite direction

Bodash was built because that silence has a cost. Not just in time and wasted effort, but in what it does to people — the self-doubt that creeps in when you hear nothing, the feeling that the silence is somehow a verdict on you rather than a symptom of a broken system.

We're a community-powered job tracker. When you track your applications on Bodash and share where you are in the process, everyone applying to the same roles sees the bigger picture. How many people applied. Who heard back. How far along others are. The silence becomes data. The process becomes visible.

We don't have access to what happens inside a company's hiring system. Neither does anyone else outside of it. But what we do have is each other — and collectively, job seekers see more than any one of us can alone.

That's the only kind of transparency that can't be taken away by a platform update.

The hiring process affects millions of people

Every year, people spend months applying, waiting, and wondering — not because they aren't qualified, but because the process gives them nothing to work with. No signal, no timeline, no sense of whether the silence is about them or about a role that was filled three weeks ago.

We think that needs to change. And we think the only way to change it is together.

If you're job searching right now, track your applications on Bodash. Every update you share makes the process more visible for the next person going through it. That's how this works. That's how transparency actually gets built — not by a platform deciding to offer it, but by a community deciding it matters.

We are a job tracker. Our mission is to make the application to hire process visible for all applicants. We can do it together.
