If anybody ever needed an answer to the question "will my startup/product be useful for the world?", take a look at this example/product.
This product doesn't seem like a startup-driven idea, but it addresses a serious pain-point for people (more specifically: developers) looking for (remote) jobs in a way that is required to find the right job:
> Using filters to narrow down to a subset of companies to apply to
Great job on this product, it is a great alternative to having to wait 30 days for each "Who is Hiring" without a guarantee that many remote companies who are hiring will post on that HN thread.
- pgz 10y agoI agree, this is how it should be done! It's very useful :)
- nxzero 10y agoSeems strange that HN doesn't just add a job board.
- joshmanders 10y agoThey periodically post job positions for companies in YCombinator but that's about it.
- nxzero 10y agoYes, I know, but I'm talking about a job board that's: - pay to play for big biz - free to small biz - highlights YC gigs - etc.
- tedmiston 10y agoIt seems outside the scope of something YC would care about. Also the amount of sunsetted good tech job boards grows every year. I think it's a dying business model, and perhaps one reason why we see a tech jobs startup in every YC batch (perhaps after a pivot or two), but approaching the problem from a new angle. The most recent that come to mind are Gradberry and Triplebyte.
- fitzwatermellow 10y agoIt also forms the basis of a platform and trusted brand that can provide third party services bridging the gaps between remote hires and startups. Nicely done! I am quite heartened as well to see a wall of companies functioning at "100% Distributed" ;)
