Creator here. Regular job boards don't provide these lucrative opportunities. I understand that jobs with incredibly high compensation (university president, CEO, hedge fund manager, etc) are usually filled internally or from private networks. I put this together in a couple hours to test that idea.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoAny opinions on the mid-six figure range -- E.g., $300k-700k total compensation? Do you feel that range is under-served by traditional job boards?
- philipkiely 7y agoI am nowhere near the position in my career to comment from personal experience but I imagine that if you are making that kind of money you didn't apply on Indeed. I picked the million dollar number for shock value above any market research.
- morley 7y ago> usually filled internally or from private networks. I'm guessing you know this already, but there are also search firms that specialize in hiring executives.
- philipkiely 7y agoAn excellent point and I would welcome any of those firms to use this job board.
- elemeno 7y agoWhat would be the use case for those firms? An executive search firm that's able to find candidates who would be suitable for jobs that pay $1mm+ in total comp is going to be using the network of people who they already know in order to find those candidates. At that level of comp you're relying on relationships and recommendations in order to find candidates (along side, most likely, some judicious use of LinkedIn) rather than any form of job board.
- dplgk 7y agoI don't think you could write a scraper to find the jobs in a couple hours and I don't think it would take a couple hours to reach out to these companies for a partnership. So how do you find the jobs?
- philipkiely 7y agoNo web scraping needed, I offer a form on the site for companies to get in contact.
