We built an actionable terminal instead of a job desc to recruit devs

In plain words

This is a developer recruitment tool that uses an interactive terminal interface instead of traditional job descriptions. It's designed for companies looking to hire developers by providing a more engaging way to present job opportunities and evaluate candidates. The terminal-based approach offers a unique alternative to standard job posting formats, appealing to technical candidates who prefer hands-on interaction over conventional application processes.

  Hi HN! I'm Nico and lately I've been struggling looking for jobs. I've gotten specially frustrated with having to spend hours reading through listings just to find good matches. So I built something to scratch my own itch: Command Jobs, a terminal-based job finder and application tracker designed specifically for me, and maybe also software engineers The app scrapes web listings, saves them, processes them with GPT[1], then based on your resume and job preferences, it gives you the best matches This is my first open source project, and also my first public project using LLMs I'm really…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
