Products that do what Afternoon project, a job board in your inbox -- jobmailr does
http://www.jobmailr.com/ Most of the valuable hires out there already have jobs and aren't actively looking for another. But would they be interested in getting relevant jobs emailed to them once a week or so, so that they were sure to hear about that dream position opening up? And would companies pay to access their inboxes? Asking myself, I found it valuable. Seeing if others do too is what jobmailr.com is trying to find out. If several hundred people sign up, there's an instant audience that employers can pay to access. If it doesn't gain traction amongst the would-be hires, then I'm just…

(not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…

I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral.com/ It's powered by https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch, which is a little pricey, so I'm trying to decide whether to put more effort into the project (I'd have to charge _something_ to offset the costs).

I noticed the who's hiring threads are very popular every month, so I decided to create a job board specifically for hacker news. You can tag jobs, search, view user's profiles and more. Tell me what you guys thing! Any feedback is appreciated.

Based on the multiple "Who's hiring remotely?" and similar posts on HN, I thought it might be useful to have a site that aggregates remote programming jobs. There is way too much spam out and an inconsistent way to say "work from home" so traditional searching doesn't work (or rather, takes a long time per person). I've worked in a few remote programming positions so I figured I might know of some companies or searching tricks to find them. Let me know if you'd find this type of thing useful. If we can get some traffic going, then maybe we can start attracting companies to actually list…

Hi HN, We’re definitely not the first to realise there’s something seriously wrong with how hiring and job-seeking works today. Zero-cost communication and LLMs have created so much noise that good candidates can’t get heard, and it becomes all too tempting to game the system with keywords and prompt-hacking. In fact we discovered that 70% of early stage AI startups don't post their jobs on LinkedIn. Instead, many founders hire exclusively within their network, which works at the start but doesn’t scale. We thought a lot about this problem, and pivoted through a few ideas including an AI…

Hey everyone, I recently built OpenJobHub, a free and open source job board for engineers. My goal is simple: in these tough times, I hope more people can find good jobs, and that job information can be more open and transparent. Feel free to share it with any recruiters, HRs, or friends who are hiring. Let's build a healthier job ecosystem together. GitHub: https://github.com/junminhong/jobs Website: https://jobs.wowkit.net

My (revised) MVP - the concept is to put all job-finding activities in one app: job search/listings, emails/replies, resume/portfolio pages. Automate the searches, have an email editor that sends out themeable HTML emails, know which recipients are interested, and point them to a portfolio site of sorts. Briefly,the main features: * Aggregates jobs via job board APIs based on skills (searches twice a day) * Includes Twitter job search, displays linked content in-app * Email editor/sender (can be scheduled), with HTML templates * Email analytics (track clicks and views) * Preserves email and…

Hello everyone! I know there are already a few "Who Is Hiring" aggregators, but I wanted to show off what I've done. My project was cancelled right before Christmas, so this project was a great way to blow off some steam while procrastinating looking for a new job. Tangentially, I am looking for new career opportunities if your company needs a full stack web developer, lol. This website was completed in about a week and a half. I wanted to present it in a Show HN post on Jan 2 when the usual Who Is Hiring posts were featured, but I didn't think it had enough features to make it useful. Even…

I built a email newsletter that sends you personalized and no-bs job picks from Hacker News' most recent "Who is hiring?" thread. Free forever, instant unsubscribe. To those interested in the architecture, I wrote a small post: https://hnrecap.news/architecture

Hi HN, I got tired of the existing means of finding jobs, so I created a platform that searches company job portals directly for the latest job postings. Originally it was meant for just software engineers, but I've expanded to a larger variety of careers. It's entirely free to use, you can create an account to keep track of the jobs you apply to with the job tracker. I'd love to hear what you all think, and what your experience has been as a job seeker. https://radar.jobs Thanks, Ross

When we are looking for remote jobs we generally browse job postings in remote job boards. In doing so we miss some opportunities which are not posted in those job boards. So if you are actively looking for a remote job you should also checkout career pages of companies which recruit remote talent. I have compiled a list of such companies and tagged each company with remote locations they are hiring for. Those who are looking for remote job do checkout this page. https://remotejobhuntbuddy.com/blog/remote-companies-list-a-to-c.html

Hello everyone, I got laid off last year and during the job hunt, I kept running into ghost jobs, these listings that never lead anywhere. Super frustrating. After some point, I started tracking company behavior across job boards. It snowballed into a little web app where you can actually see how companies are hiring — or pretending to. It's free, early stage, UI is a bit rough, but here’s what some info it shows per company: -Job boards they post on -ATS system they use -Median salary by role -Post frequency + how old the listings are -Skills and degree requirements -Track all existing…
