Ask HN: Know any jobs sites which don't allow recruiters?
I'd be interested to know of any job sites people know of which don't allow recruiters to post jobs. I know there are good recruiters out there but there are also a lot of crappy ones. I know there are a number of no recruiter jobs boards about at the moment (I have my own) and I'm sure employers on HN would like to know what options they have for advertising jobs directly.

- S4M 15y agothat one contains offers posted by recruiters.
- robinwarren 15y agoI'm working to remove them, but it's all automated so some currently still sneak through.
- Peroni 15y agoThis thread makes me sad. We're not all evil, money-hungry idiots who can't tell the difference between Java & JavaScript. Recruiter ads are an annoyance though. Lack of company info, vague salaries, words like 'ninja' and 'rockstar' shudder Sometimes a recruiter can provide you access to lots of work you won't find advertised anywhere on the net. Stick your email address into our notification box on http://hackerjobs.co.uk http://hackerjobs.co.uk if you want to be informed of a new site that aims to circumvent Tech Recruiters and significantly improve the recruitment process. It's not affiliated to any recruitment company so don't worry. It's a side project myself and a fellow HN'er are working on.
- robinwarren 15y agoSigned up for hackerjobs.co.uk just before I posted this actually, although it'd be nice to have a bit more info on that page about what it will be. I was going to caveat things more in the description but wanted to avoid going off on a ramble. Didn't want to insult anyone, so sorry if I made you sad on a Friday. I know there are good guys out there and I've been lucky enough to deal with some of them. However there are sadly some recruiters giving the profession a bad name, but I think you know all about that.
- Peroni 15y agoGood point about providing more info on the page. We are having a meeting tomorrow and we will make a point of expanding on the ladning page. It was a rush job in order to have something to show off at a recent Hacker News meet-up where I was giving a talk. Don't worry you didn't insult me! Recruiters have earned their terrible reputation.

- chrisbennet 15y agoAs you may be aware, Stackoverflow Jobs (I guess it's called StackOverflow Careers 2.0 now) requires the job poster to mention the company. This seems to scare off the recruiters that don't have an exclusive arrangement with the hiring company. I don't know but it would seem that a company wouldn't/couldn't keep a recruiter [with an exclusive arrangement] for long if they sent bad candidates. Of course, these things don't always make sense to me.
- templaedhel 15y agoMy recent project which is in beta currently http://exquisitejobs.com/ http://exquisitejobs.com/ hand picks jobs of only the highest quality. This means no vague recruiters and also no "facebook groupon badge clone site for equity.". It's invite only to maintain a high calibre of applicants, but if you mention your HN name and make cool stuff there is a good chance you'll get in. Hope you like it.
