Ask HN: Would a job board aggregating one language be interesting?
My idea is to aggregate Java jobs from different jobs sites. But it could be replicated for different technologies, industries....
What do you think?
- kostarelo 9y agoI guess your goal is to filter job ads based on technologies and I believe that there are already quite a few ways to do that, SO Jobs for example. Maybe there's another need there?
- leonagano 9y agoCould be a Java board filtered by frameworks for example
- kostarelo 9y agoGo to https://stackoverflow.com/jobs https://stackoverflow.com/jobs and hit the Gear icon next to the Create Alert button.
- leonagano 9y agoThanks! I'm always browsing around SO jobs, but I also have to go to different websites every couple of days looking for new opportunities. The idea is to have a single point to search for one language specific jobs
- eb0la 9y agoSimply put, it's a dog-eat-dog kind of business. You'll be competing with established giants like monster/linkedin/stackoverflow, niche sites, country-specific-sites, other web spammers, etc... This bussiness has built-in churn: if you do it well, you'll loose users. Word might spread, but you'll eventually loose users. So, if you're brave enough to do this, do it differently: - Build something that makes you a better $LANGUAGE developer. - Build something that helps you transition from $JOBTITLE to $NEXTJOB. And put a very restricted job board on it for people that's interested in getting better at his/her job. That brings more value and probably you can monetize it better.
