Cool concept, but its a listing with a map....so you can choose a job that you can commute you a little faster What's the story here? Is anyone who worked on this, able to jump into the comments and give us what's the reason behind building a list of companies hiring this way?

No idea who made it, though funny enough a group I participate in is making a map to try to show people how much nicer their commutes would be if our city built the bike network they've supposedly planned. Maybe this is a start for something similar? Would be curious what people find useful (bart and muni stops would be handy, for one) I hope it doesn't fall in to self promo, especially since we're not even a business, but if you're in Dublin the idea is at http://www.gaffologist.com/cycling_works/ http://www.gaffologist.com/cycling_works/

Their sign-up forms say they want to 'democratize hiring', whatever that means.

  Yeah I know I kinda cringe when I wrote that, won't even lie. The idea is to have employers pay $110/month to use the platform. $10 of that would go to https://scripted.org/ https://scripted.org/ which I volunteer with twice a week. It's relevant because the org teaches comp sci in under resourced high schools in the bay area and NYC. (P.S. we need volunteers). The rest is a hella low subscription fee for companies so candidates can have actual companies reach out instead of random as recruiters from India when you upload your resume to Dice.com You have more questions? Send me email: connor@employbl.com I'm on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/connorleech/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/connorleech/

Hey for sure, Connor here, builder of employbl I worked as a recruiter for a year and a half and now work as a software engineer. Finding jobs in the geographic reason was a challenge. The plan for the site is to have lots of candidates sign up and then have employers pay a flat monthly fee to see and browse all candidates, perhaps with some privacy settings for candidates so their phones don't blow up. Would be happy to chat more my email is connor@employbl.com
