If you want to put candidates in control, build a CRM tool. When a recruiter pings me on LinkedIn or emails me, I have a URL I can send them to with an intake form. No more calls wasting my time, I can see the company/role/salary/etc. up front.
The trick here is you need to figure out a business model where you don't take money from employers, because once you do its just the long slide to becoming a shittier LinkedIn.
- rachofsunshine 5y agoWe've talked about things in this area, but this particular framing is pretty interesting. We're talking about it now. I personally like this proposal and am probably going to at least draft a hypothetical spec of it and see how it fleshes out. Thanks for the suggestion!
- mike_d 5y agoAwesome! I've started a POC, but as with most things I'd rather not have to build it myself.
- mattheww 5y agoIt's unbelievable that nobody has done this well - I and most people I know are tracking their own job searches on a spreadsheet. Pretty obvious value-add for job searchers. Not to mention that having access to this data would enable tons of other product features. Shows that most services/sites don't care that much about the applicant experience.

- rachofsunshine 5y agoIf you're interested in comparing notes, I'd love to hop on a call with you. (We've got some bookable slots linked at the bottom of the blog post, but I can make time elsewhere if you'd like.)
- llbeansandrice 5y ago> salary Colorado now requires job postings to include something more or less like a "reasonable salary range". It hasn't been perfect, for example there are some companies who now just restrict their online job postings to say "except Colorado" instead of adding a salary. But as someone living in Colorado it's been nice to know the salary range up-front more often and to have confidence that I can ask them for a salary range without getting the question turned back on me: "Well, what are you looking for?"
- dmlittle 5y agoIn California recruiters are legally obligated to disclose the salary range upon request.

- p1esk 5y agoThank you. It says there: “The bill would specify that a violation of its provisions would not be subject to the misdemeanor provision”. So it seems it’s not enforced.
- slownews45 5y agoI think as they start enforcing things more employers will avoid colorado until kinks worked out. If you have a janitor in CO, every job is an improvement and potential promotion. Having to first go to that janitor for every position is going to wear out FAST. Posting for the CTO position? Go to janitor first. Posting for CEO position - same thing - that's what is going to drive folks away.
