The job board Uzbekistan's IT talent
has been waiting for.
SilkHire is built to fix the broken hiring experience for Uzbekistan's fast-growing tech sector — AI-powered matching, required skill filters, and real-time screening. No noise. No stale listings. No unread CVs.
Hiring in Uzbekistan's IT sector is broken on both sides.
Employers post on HH.uz, OLX, Telegram, and Instagram at the same time — then try to manage hundreds of applications scattered across four platforms. HR managers spend up to 40% of their time manually filtering CVs, most of which don't meet basic requirements.
On the other side, 80% of job seekers never hear back. They submit CVs with no guidance, receive no status updates, and have no idea whether their application was even opened. The tools exist — they're just not built for this market.
"I built the platform I wished existed when I was looking for a tech job in Tashkent. Clear requirements, real feedback, and a process that respects everyone's time."— Mukhsinjon Bokijonov, Founder
200–300 applications per vacancy. 75% don't meet the requirements. With no filter system, HR manually reads every one.
HH.uz, OLX, Telegram, Instagram — postings everywhere, applications everywhere. There's no single place to manage the whole process.
Applications disappear into silence. No status tracking, no rejection reason, no way to know where things stand.
LinkedIn is expensive and English-only. HH.uz has no AI matching. There is no platform built specifically for Uzbekistan's IT market.
Where we are. Where we're going.
An honest look at SilkHire's progress and the milestones ahead.
After personally struggling to hire a developer in Tashkent — wading through stale listings, hidden salaries, and unverified companies — the decision was made to stop complaining and start building.
SilkHire launched with 50+ registered users and 5+ active IT vacancies. The platform is running, real employers are posting, and real candidates are applying. MVP is now a working product.
Raising $100K to expand the team, ship AI Screening Partner and AI Resume Builder, and accelerate user growth across Uzbekistan's IT sector.
After proving the model with IT, expand SilkHire to finance, retail, education, and healthcare. Same platform, same principles — applied to every employer and job seeker in the country.
If market opportunity supports it — and we believe it will — expand into Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, then across the region. 80M+ people, a $2.5B addressable market, and no dominant local platform.
A $120M+ IT hiring market with no clear winner yet.
What makes SilkHire different by design.
Freemium for both sides. Employers post 3 vacancies free. Job seekers apply free — always. Premium unlocks advanced tools, not basic access.
Employers set minimum criteria — years of experience, education, skills, location. Candidates who don't qualify simply can't apply. HR only sees relevant CVs.
Every application is scored by AI against the job requirements. Below 60%? Auto-declined with feedback. Above 60%? Sent to HR. Screening time drops by 70%.
Candidates generate 5+ tailored CV templates from their profile in one click. Each one optimised for a specific job. Professional output, zero design experience needed.
Candidates always know where they stand — which stage, who viewed their CV, when to expect a response. No more sending into silence.
Uzbek language, local currency, and a deep understanding of how hiring actually works here. Not a global platform translated — a local one built from scratch.
I'm a full-stack developer based in Tashkent who built SilkHire because I couldn't find a hiring platform that worked for the local IT market. After spending weeks navigating fragmented job boards, hidden salaries, and zero feedback loops, I decided to build the tool I wished existed.
SilkHire is live, growing, and backed by real user feedback. I'm raising a pre-seed round to bring on a small team, ship AI features, and make SilkHire the default place to hire and get hired in Uzbekistan's tech sector.
