Ask HN: Review my developer job board startup
One of the constant complaints I heard at pretty much every startup and tech meetup I went to was the difficulty in hiring good developers.
So I've tried to tackle this problem by building a hand-curated developer job board concentrating purely on companies that want to hire top-tier developers.
I'd appreciate any feedback !

- petervandijck 16y agoGood idea. Is it focused on the UK? (Looks like it from the URL). I don't understand your implementation though. You are trying to solve the problem of "difficulty in hiring good developers" by providing a list of jobs? Shouldn't you provide a list of developers? From the site, it looks like you're trying to solve the problem of "it's hard to find good jobs in 1 place". Better be clear about what problem you are trying to solve :)
- ig1 16y agoYes, focused on the UK (at least at first). One of the major reasons hiring good developers is hard is that traditional job boards are dominated by recruiters and it's hard for an individual company to stand out. So companies are pretty much forced to use recruiters who aren't great. I'm solving the find good developers problem by building a job board that allows individual companies to standout, but also by strategic advertising. Using my background as a developer I can target ads much more specifically to top-tier developers by focusing for example on the things they'd be more likely to search for. Solving the "it's hard to find good jobs" problem for developers is a side-effect of the main problem I'm tackling :)
