Do I need a résumé to apply on Waldo?
No. You build a profile once with your experience, availability and the roles you want, then apply by swiping. There is no cover letter and no per-job application form.
How is Waldo different from Indeed or a generalist job board?
Waldo is hospitality-only and Montréal-only, and it is built around mutual interest instead of an application queue. Venues only see candidates who have already said they want that specific job, and candidates only get contacted by venues that have actually chosen them.
