In light of StackOverflow looking for a new CEO, layoffs in the past year and a half, $68 million in venture capital looking for a return, and Joel Spolsky's connections to Microsoft, this might actually happen.
I've also gotten the impression that StackOverflow's recruiting product isn't doing so well. It seems to be a few hundred dollars a month for a single job posting, but the results for recruiters are apparently mixed.
- pgodzin 7y agoLinkedIn seems like a good fit
- carlosdp 7y agoWell they're already owned by Microsoft, so same deal =P
- koolba 7y agoI think they use SQL Server as well so there’s that poster child angle as well.
- duskwuff 7y agoStackOverflow for Teams seems like a really hard sell too. $5-10/user/mo is pretty steep, especially for a service that needs a significant-size userbase to "work".
- user5994461 7y agoJust seen it adopted in a F50. It's not particularly difficult to sell in my opinion. The product is pretty good too.
- jdotjdot 7y agoWe use StackOverflow for Teams with a small team (<15 developers) and it’s been great. While I’m sure our revenue alone won’t make it profitable, I think it’s a product that can work with teams of all sizes. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
- dplgk 7y agoI've had great success finding devs for my company on SO. I would hate to see it go away.
- jonny_eh 7y agoLinkedIn and Github didn't go away.
- twodave 7y agoYou might say StackOverflow careers isn’t doing well, but it is literally the only jobs listing outside of this website that I look at. The ability to get a succinct email within a chosen SALARY RANGE and being able to select remote only is AWESOME.
- calabin 7y agoIf I remember correctly, my team of four was quoted at $13k/yr for the StackOverflow job posting / recruiting solution. It's probably worth it for companies with greater hiring needs than ours, but LinkedIn (begrudgingly), and ZipRecruiter have provided enough quality candidate-flow for far less money that it doesn't make any sense for our uses.
