- hobs 5y agoI don't think so - I think they are leaving the market because their differentiation isn't enough in the marketplace to actually sell it enough to be interesting. While a small group of users liked it, it clearly did not have traction in the greater community.
- jc4p 5y agolove running into old friends on HN, so some very stale info from someone who hasn’t worked at SO in many years: while the job board was differentiated and nice from the programmers side, it’s really difficult to convince recruiters to use a new system with new rules. most (not all ofc) just want to spray and pray. as a job seeker being told “you’re gonna have the upper hand here” is amazing, as a recruiter it makes it very difficult to sell to unless you really own the market.
- Varqu 5y agoYes! We run a job board platform in Europe (and just entered the US market last year) Turns out that developers really appreciate a no-bullshit approach with: - mandatory salary brackets - full tech stack and easy filtering - our own dev maturity test (what tests do they write, do they have dedicated QAs, etc) It enables us to quickly grow to over 60'000 monthly visitors (combined) and the companies are also more than happy to advertise.
