#13There isn’t really anything as general as StackOverflow in the software world that I can think of.
Everything like https://remoteok.com and https://4dayweek.io is too niche. https://keyvalues.com maybe?
I’m building something for career switchers at https://CareerSwitchToCoding.com that’s nearly ready to go.

#14For people like me, who have not heard about this: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/415293/sunsetting-j... > Jobs and Developer Story will no longer be supported as of April 1, 2022.
Wow, thanks, I had no idea. I even missed the previous HN thread on it (I follow HN150 on Twitter, so mostly only check out stories that hit 150 points).
What’s crazy is that I haven’t received a single email about them deprecating Jobs. I think they have my most up-to-date resume, so I may have lost that (maybe they’ll send something out later this month, but seems like most companies give a longer heads-up when deprecating products).

#15Google for Jobs. It's the job board killer.
I've been operating niche job boards for a decade, starting with angularjobs.com (for Angular developers).
Before this, the job ad aggregators (Indeed, Zip recruiter, Talent, Talroo, and LinkedIn) were probably* the best bet.
IMO, Google expects a return to business websites posting their jobs on their own domain[1]. This way, they can take all the job-ad $$$, too.
*99.99% of jobs on most job boards come from these sources, as "backfill". The ones that don't use the job ads (and often brag about it) are just paying other companies to scrape the same jobs from the company webpages so that the "job board" outranks them in SEO, and use that "advantage" to sell premium listings. When I was working on ETL with these sources, combined there were ~10MM unique job postings in the US (late 2020).
Edit: I wanted to add, be wary of job boards that pop up to fill this void. Anyone can create a job board in 2 minutes with Jobboard.io. However, building an audience, especially one that is worth advertising to, doesn't happen as quickly.

Thanks for the down votes. Would love to know which part of my anecdote was so offensive to you, though!

#16For companies/job seekers: I'm working on a remote job board called Remote Leaf[1], a curated remote job newsletter with a personalized jobs list based on the user's location/timezone and skills.
Happy to provide a special discount for companies posting their remote jobs. Just send me a private message on Twitter or email(in bio)[2]

#18Somebody please make OkCupid for Jobs. Both employers and applicants fill out questions that the community curates (so they can be job-specific, industry-specific, etc). Both employers and employees get matches via algorithm rather than receiving 100 random resumes or 100 random job suggestions that have nothing to do with you.
Existing sites do this, but very poorly, because they only try to detect information out of a resume and detect keywords in a job listing. There is only so much data you can gleam from those sources and it's highly variable. You need to ask specific questions, like "Is Functional Programming the best form of programming?" or "Do you prefer asynchronous communication when dealing with coworkers?", or "Do you like being in an office?", or "Do you like working in finance?".
