Show HN: A socially curated startup job board
- muratmutlu 12y agoVery cool idea! Great design
- degrevemaxime 12y agoEasy to scan and clean design!
- wingerlang 12y agoI had the opposite reaction. The design uses grids which are worse than lists for scanning. There is a study (or statistics, at least) that showed a row layout made the user actually see _every_ product in an online shop while a grid view made the user skip many.
- mousetraps 12y agoI intuitively agree about the reduced scannability, but do you happen to have a link to the study? I tried searching for it to no avail.
- wingerlang 12y agoI haven't been able to find it again. I'll update if I do.
- filearts 12y agoWhat does it take to add new countries (for example Canada)?
- PEntremont 12y agoAdditional countries will come fast, thanks !
- schabernakk 12y ago+1 for Canada. I feel for larger countries like canada or the states some option to limit ads to certain regions/states/etc would be very benefitial.
- brotoss 12y agoThere's already a reddit for startup jobs its called reddit.com/r/startups
- toomuchtodo 12y agoSort of. "Welcome to r/startups, a community for all backgrounds, levels of expertise, and business experience. We are a forum of entrepreneurs working towards unbiased and anonymous feedback, advice, ideas, and discussion." Reddit could use a /r/startupjobs subreddit.
- arnauddri 12y agoI don't see any job ads there
- colemorrison 12y agoYeah, /r/startups is totally not a jobs place. It's like a watered down HN. With more trolls.
- brotoss 12y agoFair enough. I just thought it was silly to call it a Reddit for X
- vyrotek 12y agoI don't think King.com and SurveyMonkey are startups. What's stopping this from just turning into another job board? Once the recruiters catch wind of this it will be filled with junk.
- arnauddri 12y agoI don't think so, it's user-curated. If the job is not interesting, it won't be retweeted so it won't appear at the top of the page, just like HN
- dan_bk 12y agoWho goes on such a site? Jobseekers. Which jobseeker has an incentive to retweet a job s/he finds interesting? Usually YOU want the job you find interesting. Why retweet it when this makes it harder for you to get the job?
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- PEntremont 12y agoJobseekers are not expected to retweet. Company stakeholders and relevant jobseekers friends are.
- webmaven 12y agoAnd what happens when you add retweeting spambots into the mix?
- rdudek 12y agoGreat point. One way I can think of is to moderate each and every job submission. This could be costly in terms of manpower. Maybe put a requirement that your business must have 10 or less employees.
- orky56 12y agoYou can cross-reference the Crunchbase API to have filters on the companies such as funding, employee coutn, location, etc. That would guarantee the startup fits the profile of what the applicant is looking for.
- myth_drannon 12y agoYour logo looks exactly like Enthought's www.enthought.com
- xauronx 12y ago"exactly like" is a bit of a stretch. I see the resemblance. Enthoughts looks exactly like Gamecube's icon if we're being that vague.
- johnatwork 12y agoIt looks like the symmetry of the 9gag's logo as well. http://9gag.com http://9gag.com
- idealform01 12y agoi dig this.
- _puk 12y agoLooks nice, good luck with it. Couple of points: Browser navigation does not seem to do much (I click on UK then back arrow and remain in UK, have to reload page or click on All to get back to All). Esc to close the popup when clicking on an ad would be useful. (Naturally try to do this, and got stuck with a swirly at one point, close button didn't appear. Reload to fix). It's a difficult one for a startup job listing, but some indication of expected Salary or perhaps even an indication of equity / salary options would be good.
- arnauddri 12y agoThanks for the feedbacks! Very much appreciated :) I'll look into the bugs you mentioned I'm not so sure about the equity/salary part. Angellist does this but the ranges are often so wide (like $80k-$140k) they don't really seem relevant to me. We'll definitely check if it makes sense :)
- rss124 12y agoNeat site but please don't call it 'Reddit for Startup Jobs', X for Y is seriously annoying. Just say it's a startup job board ..
- arb99 12y agoyeah, it doesn't even resemble reddit. Just has some kind of voting.
- tomkinson 12y agoI use Startupers.com
- brickmort 12y agoI like it! Although it is in dire need of an easy-to-find 'city, location' marker for each entry. edit: up!! nevermind, i found it. It's on the bottom right. I initially didn't see it. nice job on the site!
- arnauddri 12y agothanks for the feedbacks :)
- orky56 12y agoI also disagree with the name of Reddit for startup jobs. It would still be better to call it a "Socially curated startup job board".
- dang 12y agoWe changed it to use your suggestion. There's no need for the thread to be about a title.
- Major_Grooves 12y agoI'd like to put an advert on but why do you need Twitter authorisation? It's not clear to me exactly what you're going to do so I'm reluctant to authorise.
- PEntremont 12y agoNothing ! But you will have the opportunity to auto-retweet the offers you post
- solomone 12y agoI found a gig I was interested in. There doesn't seem to be a way to contact them though. Their link goes to their homepage which has no contact info. Maybe the site could facilitate that ?
- PEntremont 12y agoSJ is "just" a tool to help startups to promote their jobs page, the better they use the tool the higher the karma of the post is
- orky56 12y agoNot sure of the ideal solution but you are referencing 3 forms of social validation users are aware of: upvotes, karma, and retweets. I understand the relationship among the 3 but it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity.
- PEntremont 12y agoHN is not so simple neither ! But you have a point.
- elwell 12y agoI would have gone with "not so simple either".
- nraynaud 12y agoIf the crowd is stupider than individual people, why use it to curate? You'll have the latest Californian startups in drone delivery of gluten-free flour for the whole SOMA district area, but not the next disruptive stuff from a small Spain town.
- islon 12y ago"Startupjob.org a Reddit for startup jobs” and now I understand the expression 'ideas are a dime a dozen’.
