bad idea, it'll get spammed by recruiters and big companies...like all job boards are. I think the more personal "is anyone looking" is a much better idea.

- wensing 17y agoMaybe someone can solve that hard problem while they're at it? Leverage whatever's keeping HN relatively spam-free.
- pjharrin 17y agoWe could make it like doostang, so you need to have somebody invite you in order to make an account
- oneplusone 17y agoSeems to me putting a karma requirement on posting, and requiring X up-votes before it gets to the main job page would solve that problem.
- revorad 17y agoAnd create a new problem of more people trying to game the karma system. I think it's best to leave jobs (no pun intended) out of this place.
- steveplace 17y agoDoes a site do this? This sounds like a great approach to that sector.
- pjharrin 17y agoI'm not entirely sure if this is the right approach, but a job site that works as well as job postings on HN is definitely in demand
- nandemo 17y agoThe "is anyone looking" approach doesn't work well here. Unlike regular forum threads, HN posts will disappear from the front page very quickly even if people are still replying to it.
