Who wants to be hired in a new avatar

Hello all, I saw that many people have lost their job due to the current economic situation and I have seen many people posting status and updates on Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn about their job search struggle. Even on who wants to be hired thread on HN, I saw more than 300 people seeking jobs. I have been thinking very hard on how I can possibly help them find a job. So I thought of building a platform where profiles of few randomly selected job seekers (2-10) is featured daily to help them find the job quickly. My mission is to help 3000+ people find a job in 2020. Here's the link:…

    JobLens – AI-powered job search for 'Who Is Hiring'2023 · kadoa.com · ▲108

    There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further. Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36163021), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences: * Country and remote work preferences * Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government) * Industry * Technologies used * Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.) * Salary range (where available) One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from…

    Hello HN Community! I've transformed the "Ask HN: Who's hiring? (November 2023)" post into a Google Sheet.

  • Hnwork.app – UI for Who is hiring postsJul 2026 · hnwork.app · ▲25

    Hey HN, I built a UI on top of the "Who is hiring" posts. Take a look at https://hnwork.app! One of the downsides of unstructured text posts is the readability due to it being free-form and having little to no format. While there are other tools that have been built over the years to make perusing Who is hiring posts easier, I took a try on making my own (I actually tried to build this at a YC hackathon a few years back, but got around to completing it recently). Features: 1. Text search and search filters 2. Original post text with call outs to important information 3. Removes…
