What is The Muse? 

The Muse helps hundreds of the world’s most admired companies attract, hire and grow exceptional talent with its candidate-first talent attraction platform and expertise in diverse and hard-to-attract candidates. In the new world we now live in, companies engage passive and active candidates through their digital footprint - yet few take the time to deeply explain their business, culture, and roles in an engaging and scalable way.  The Muse unifies talent acquisition, employer branding and recruitment marketing to help you amplify your talent brand and attract right-fit candidates. Job seekers rely on The Muse for original career advice from prominent experts, access to the best coaches, and a behind-the-scenes look at job opportunities. 75 of the Fortune 500 trust The Muse as their platform for managing recruitment. 

Founded in 2011, we were named one of Fast Company’s 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World. We have a highly-diverse user base of millions of Millennial & Gen Z jobseekers who we help connect with companies as wide-ranging as Apple, Nike and the FBI.
