The title of this post has sparked a good discussion here but it links directly to a job board? I was expecting an article.
- ljf 2y agoIndeed, the title given here doesn't seem to appear on the page at all, which makes this seem like clickbait. The title should be changed to 'Private jobs board' or similar. But then no one would click on it or upvote it. I assume a lot of people vote and comment without clicking the links on HN. Would have been better as a 'show hn' post - Dallas_b below is the op and also made the site but I don't think they make that very clear in their post.
- Dallas_B 2y agoI started the thread - Not click bait at all. If you read my comment you can see what I built etc. But, yes its got some traction, seems people are pretty fired up (me included) about the state of the job market and just how hard it is to land a interview let alone a offer
- ljf 2y agoGood luck finding work - you are clearly talented if you can make a site like this. Re the titling/clickbait comment - I was referring to the policy here that posts should follow the page title of the site you are linking to: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html But as you can see here in other comments, others note this too.
- arp242 2y agoThis really should have been "Show HN: I built a job board", or something along those lines.
- ErikAugust 2y agoIt’s a great title and idea for an article. Maybe start a blog for the board, and create that article? Signed, Non-expert in content marketing
