A place to share more than updates

The blog gives us a place to slow down and write with more depth. Sometimes that will mean explaining what we are building and why. Other times, it will mean sharing useful ideas about job search, student opportunities, hiring, and the people on both sides of that process.

It is meant for students trying to find the right path, but also for companies trying to hire better and understand who they want to reach.

We also wanted a changelog to create a clearer way to see how the product evolves over time, what has changed, how it has improved, and the journey that shapes it along the way.

A better way to tell the story

Shipping the product matters, but so does sharing what we learn. With the blog and the changelog now live, EasyLink has a clearer place for knowledge, product writing, release notes, and the ongoing story of how the beta is taking shape.

Language support

On the web, the app uses the browser's default language. On mobile, it follows the device language. Users can also override that choice manually, and their preference is remembered.

This update makes the product feel more natural for both French-speaking and English-speaking users instead of forcing everyone into the same default experience.

A new search architecture

As the dataset grew into the hundreds of thousands of jobs, the old search architecture stopped scaling well. Most queries could take between one and two minutes.

We rebuilt search to handle a much larger volume of data and brought those same queries down to under a second.

That represents a performance improvement of about 99%.

Users can now sign up and sign in with Google on web, iOS, and Android.

Until now, EasyLink only supported email and password. This update makes account access faster and removes a lot of friction from the first experience.

Full parity on the web

This release includes the marketing site, email sign up and sign in, and the same core product experience already available on mobile: jobs, search, filters, map, job details, and the three browsing layouts.

Built with the same level of care

Bringing EasyLink to the web was not just about parity. We wanted the product to feel fast, clear, and well-crafted there too, with the same attention to design, hierarchy, and usability that shaped the mobile experience.

EasyLink now offers the same main experience across web, iOS, and Android.

This is the biggest EasyLink update so far.

A cleaner way to browse jobs

We redesigned the app with a fresher interface, introduced three job browsing modes called Compact, Detailed, and Swipe, and rebuilt the job details screen to make each opportunity easier to understand at a glance.

Better job details

Job details now include three tabs: Overview, Information, and Map. The new Information tab surfaces the most relevant details in a cleaner format, while the Map tab shows where the selected job is located.

A new map screen

We also added a new map screen to the main navigation. After granting location access, users can see nearby jobs within a 25-kilometer radius, tap pins on the map, and jump directly into job details from there.

The result is a product that feels easier to scan, easier to compare, and more useful when you are trying to understand which opportunities are actually worth opening.

EasyLink is now available on Android for the closed beta group through the Google Play Store.

With Android now live alongside iOS, the beta is available on both major mobile platforms and much closer to the real product experience we want to test.

Unlike a standard job listing, these opportunities are recommendations. La Bonne Alternance highlights companies that are worth reaching out to and helps students apply proactively, even when there is no traditional posted offer.

This brings a broader kind of opportunity into the product alongside internships and apprenticeships.

Search now includes its first filters.

Users can narrow results by contract type, with internship and apprenticeship options, and by work mode, with remote and on-site filters.

At this stage, EasyLink was still focused only on internships and apprenticeships, so this update made the early search experience much more practical for day-to-day use.

Available now

Beta testers can sign in with email and password, browse jobs from France Travail and La Bonne Alternance, open a first version of job details, and use a dedicated search screen to look for specific opportunities.

A first version in real hands

This first build is intentionally simple, but it puts the product in front of real users and gives us a base we can improve quickly.

We announced the EasyLink beta on April 15.

EasyLink starts from a simple belief: students should not have to jump between multiple platforms just to find the right opportunity. The beta is our first step toward a faster, clearer, and more useful job search experience built for them from the start.
