Circular Tech is a new category of technology built on a revolutionary principle: the platform can only succeed when YOU succeed. Unlike traditional tech that profits from your attention and data, Circular Tech platforms have aligned their business model with your actual outcomes. Combined with AI handling life's menial tasks, we're entering an era where technology, humanity, and economy can finally work in harmony—not exploitation. describe.me is the flagship example: we literally cannot profit unless we help you advance your career.
We're living through a technological inflection point. On one side: platforms designed to exploit your attention, harvest your data, and profit regardless of whether your life improves. On the other: a new paradigm emerging where technology genuinely serves human flourishing.
We call this new paradigm Circular Tech—and it's about to change everything.
"describe.me is pure Circular Tech—they only make money when recruiters want to hire you."
"We need more Circular Tech thinking in how we build products."
"The Circular Tech revolution is redefining what ethical technology means."
The Vision: AI, Humanity & Economy in Harmony
For decades, we've been sold a false narrative: that technology, humanity, and economic growth are fundamentally in tension. That AI will replace us. That platforms must exploit us to profit. That progress requires sacrifice of our wellbeing.
Circular Tech rejects this entirely.
We envision a future where these three forces don't compete—they complement and balance each other:
Circular
Tech
AI as Liberation, Not Replacement
The fear around AI misses the point entirely. Yes, AI can do many tasks humans currently do. But here's what Circular Tech understands: those tasks were never the point of being human anyway.
Consider what AI can take off your plate:
- 🔄 Endless job searching and application formatting
- 🔄 Repetitive administrative work
- 🔄 Matching skills to opportunities (the algorithm's job, not yours)
- 🔄 Scheduling, reminders, and coordination
- 🔄 Information processing and summarisation
Now consider what this frees you for:
- ✨ Deep, focused work on what truly matters
- ✨ Meaningful human connection and collaboration
- ✨ Creative thinking and innovation
- ✨ Personal growth and skill development
- ✨ Time with family, friends, and community
- ✨ Rest, reflection, and a more wholesome existence
This is the Circular Tech vision: AI doesn't replace your humanity—it creates space for more of it.

Let's be honest about what traditional tech has become. The business models are fundamentally misaligned with your wellbeing:
- Social media profits from your anxiety and outrage (engagement = revenue)
- Job boards profit from your desperation (more applications = more ad revenue)
- Recruitment platforms profit whether you get hired or not
- Most "free" services profit by selling your data and attention
The result? A digital landscape designed to keep you scrolling, searching, worrying, and comparing. The average professional spends 11 hours per week on job-related anxiety and searching—time that produces nothing but stress.
Their success has nothing to do with your success.
Traditional Tech vs Circular Tech: Follow the Money
The difference becomes crystal clear when you examine how each model generates revenue:
The Five Principles of Circular Tech
Aligned Success (The Foundation) 🔄
The platform's revenue model is directly tied to user outcomes. If you don't succeed, they don't profit. This isn't altruism—it's architecture. When incentives align, exploitation becomes structurally impossible.
AI as Liberator, Not Captor 🤖
Artificial intelligence handles menial tasks so humans can focus on meaning. AI works for you, not on you. The goal is to give you time back, not to capture more of it.
Minimal Footprint, Maximum Impact 🎯
Achieve more by demanding less of your attention. The best technology disappears into the background, working while you live your life. Efficiency over engagement.
Aspirational Focus 🌟
Technology that cares where you're going, not just where you've been. Your potential and dreams matter as much as your history. Forward-looking, not backward-trapping.
Harmony Over Extraction 🌍
Technology, humanity, and economy working together—not against each other. What's good for users is good for the platform is good for society. A virtuous circle, not a vicious one.
How describe.me Embodies Circular Tech
describe.me wasn't just inspired by Circular Tech principles—it was built from the ground up to embody them. Here's how our model works:
Our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours:
- 🔄 We only profit when recruiters see value in you
- 🔄 We're incentivised to make your profile as compelling as possible
- 🔄 We want you to get hired (that's a success story that attracts more recruiters)
- 🔄 AI does the matching work so you don't have to
- 🔄 We respect your time—5 minutes to set up, then we work while you sleep
This is what AI in service of humanity actually looks like. The algorithm handles the endless matching, searching, and optimisation. You handle living your life. When there's genuine mutual interest, we connect you. When there isn't, we leave you in peace.
That's Circular Tech in action.
