Peer-level evaluation
I talk with you the way a colleague would: about systems you've built, trade-offs you've made, and how you think through problems. No keyword matching.
Othismo is one person: me. I'm a software developer who recruits. I can tell good engineering from good keywords, and I work with a small number of people at a time so each introduction actually means something.
Most recruiting is a volume game: blast the role, scan for buzzwords, forward whoever replies. I don't work that way.

I keep my roster small on purpose. You get a real person who knows your story and is still around after the offer is signed.
Companies see a short list of people I'd want to work with myself. Candidates only hear about roles that fit what they actually want.
Simple and personal, the same for candidates and companies.
A real conversation, not a screening script. I want to know what you're building or what you want to build next, and what a great fit looks like to you.
Because I'm a developer, I can dig into the substance: architecture, code quality, how someone collaborates. That way the match is based on skill, not a resume summary.
When I see a strong fit, I make a thoughtful introduction with context on both sides. If there are several great matches, you'll hear about each of them. But I never blast your resume to every inbox that will take it.
Careers and teams are long games. I keep the relationship going well past the first placement.
Othismo comes from the Greek othismos, the “big push” of a phalanx. Strong individuals become a stronger team when they move together. That's what I'm trying to build, one person at a time.
Hiring, looking, or just curious, it's the same first step. No newsletters, no spam, just a note from me.
