Shoutt is Switching from Freelance to Permanent Jobs

The current Shoutt platform closes on 17th July 2026, and a completely rebuilt version launches soon after. This one is built for permanent job search, not freelance work. Here's the full story behind that decision, what the new product does, and how the beta works if you want in.

Shoutt is Switching from Freelance to Permanent Jobs

We built Shoutt as a freelance opportunity aggregator. Our customers loved it, but we could see it was never going to scale. Gigs were concentrated on too few sources, and demand wasn’t there in the way we needed it to be. That was a hard thing to sit with, but it was also clarifying.

We wanted to help more people and solve a bigger problem. That search led us to permanent jobs.

The permanent job market is broken in two ways at once. The listings themselves are unreliable: Indeed and LinkedIn are full of ghost jobs, stale listings that closed months ago, and positions posted as market research with no real intent to hire. And the tools people use to navigate this have made things worse, not better. Apply to more, use AI to write the cover letters, send 150 applications a week. Recruiters got better at filtering bulk applications, hiring managers started ignoring the pattern on sight, and the people applying hardest became the least visible. Every AI tool in this space is optimised for one thing: getting you to send more applications. Not better ones. Not more successful ones.

We wanted to build something focused on results. So we made a simple decision: we only get paid when you land a job. It means we have one job: get you hired. Not keep you subscribing.

What the New Shoutt Does


Most tools quit the moment you hit submit. Shoutt stays with you through all of it, helping you:

Find worthwhile roles: We scan 25,000+ sources and filter aggressively. Stale listings, duplicates, low-value jobs: gone. You get a clean feed of real, active matches.

Build stronger applications: With Shoutt, you pursue opportunities properly, one application at a time. We calculate your shortlist probability and help you optimise your CV and cover letter to maximise your chances of success. 

Keep your voice: We work from your experience and achievements, bringing out your own voice and helping you articulate your value clearly. 

Fill tedious forms: Our browser extension learns from what you fill in and uses it to complete future applications in seconds. 

Prepare properly: We build you an interview preparation pack specific to the company and the role. Not generic coaching - practical prep for the conversation you’re about to have. 

Track every move: Monitor every application, message, and response in one place. Always know exactly where you stand and what to do next. 

You’re always in control. This isn’t an algorithm firing off applications on your behalf; it’s responsible human-AI collaboration built to help you succeed.

Your Account


If you already have a Shoutt account that you’ve used in the past 6 months, it carries over automatically. You don't need to do anything. From August, you'll start seeing permanent job matches instead of freelance opportunities.

If you'd rather not be part of the new Shoutt, you can delete your account at any time here. This removes your account and stops all emails from us.

If you're on a Pro plan, your subscription continues and you keep full access until 17th July. On that date it cancels automatically and you'll receive a pro-rata refund for your unused days to your original payment method within 5 working days. Nothing you need to do.

The Beta - 100 Free Spots


From August, we're running a closed beta. We're taking 100 people through the full Shoutt experience at absolutely no charge, in exchange for honest feedback and the chance to help shape the product before it opens fully.

We're limiting it to 100 because we want to give everyone in the cohort proper attention. This isn't a soft launch with thousands of users. It's a small, focused group we'll work with closely.

What you get in the beta:

  • Full access to the entire platform
  • Completely free of charge, whether you land a role or not
  • Direct access to us for feedback throughout.

What we ask in return: honest feedback on what works and what doesn't, and if the product helps you land something, permission to share your story.

Apply for a beta spot. 100 places available.

Post Beta Pricing


Once the beta closes, Shoutt moves to a success fee model: 1% of your first year's salary, paid only when you land a role. No subscription. No upfront cost. Nothing until you're hired.

We think that's the only structure that makes sense for a service like this. We should only get paid when we actually help, not for encouraging you to send hundreds of applications into the abyss.
