love 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.
