We're solving these exact problems by developing Mighty Spring (https://www.mightyspring.com https://www.mightyspring.com).
LinkedIn has always been a good professional networking tool. But because it's a professional networking tool, exploring new opportunities is rife with risk (as the OP alludes to). Great opportunity discovery is about what you want to do, not just what you have done, and that isn't necessarily public information.
Mighty Spring helps you find interesting jobs discretely -- a private place for you to manage your career.
ps. We're in private beta, but will expedite invites to all you hacker news folks that sign up :)
- Cub3 13y agoI love the idea and am interested in signing up... but the design for your page leaves much to be desired. Dark green on lime green is not a good choice, I'd suggest moving toward the colors and style of your blog / logo Just my 2cents
- ultimatedelman 13y agoThe biggest problem that good developers have when it comes to recruiting is that they hate recruiters, and the best way to guarantee that you get spammed by every recruiter in a thousand-mile radius is to tell something like LinkedIn that you're looking. Mighty Spring solves this problem by providing candidates with the ability to check out relevant jobs and indicate interest _completely anonymously_. No alerting recruiters. No alerting your boss. Disclaimer: I'm the front-end guy for Mighty Spring :)

- lumens 13y agoWe're live monitoring signups :) Also, you should feel free to email me: lumen [at] mightyspring -dot- com
- berberous 13y agoI'm getting a standard http "authentication required" dialog from bugherd.com when visiting your site. I'm guessing this is because I have httpsEverywhere installed (a firefox extension that tries to use https wherever possible). Visiting bugherd.com gives me the same error, so it appears it's a problem on their end. Still, it leaves a bad impression. You might want to disable whatever you are using from them.
- lumens 13y agoWe're on it - thanks berberous
- ultimatedelman 13y agoLooks like they had an issue, but it's fixed now: https://twitter.com/bugherd/status/332323807601754112 https://twitter.com/bugherd/status/332323807601754112
- tswartz 13y agoI am about to start a new job search and was realizing the shortcomings with Linkedin. You have an interesting approach to the job search, I just signed up!
