I hope you'll permit me to gush about the UK job board https://cord.co/ , I got my last job from there and there is something about cord that has forced companies to offer very quick turnaround in the interview process, which I greatly appreciate. That, combined with almost always having the salary and having nicely laid out standardised job descriptions, has made it my favourite job board by far.
HN who wants to be hired/is hiring threads have so far the best ROI I've found.
A few hours after I posted my first comment on the ‘who wants to be hired’ post I got ‘referred’ by another person (whom I don’t know) to a jobs site.
Somebody 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 o…

KeyValues does just this: https://keyvalues.com "Find engineering teams that share your values" (No affiliation, just a fan)
That said, I don't see it ever scaling to the mainstream. It serves a great niche, though!

What I'd really love to see is a way to find candidates via their former employers. As a CTO who recruits in a specific industry, I need to find employees who used to work at companies A, B, C.
I've spent 10 years in the classifieds (including jobs) market as a software engineer... As employee and/or employer I would go for more local/vertical websites/newsletters. There's no community such as StackOverflow outside of it, so you have to narrow down your scope somehow. Posting on LinkedIn is a mess. I've talked with many people looking for devs and they pay a lot of money for a lot of low-quality application…
> If they specifically state they look for people in EU timezones they'll receive anyway 100+ CVs from India or other countries. If they state EU _timezone_ and they receive applications from India which is *ahead* by 3.30H or Nigeria which is in about the same timezone, I don't see what the problem is. If they want only people from Europe, they should just say so.

I have posted on whoishiring's who wants to be hired threads and each time I got half a dozen cold emails from generic job boards startups. The entire industry needs to take a step back and evaluate their entire process.
The process of evaluating a candidate is technical skills first, personality test second. If we flip the entire I wonder how effective recruiting could be. At least for entry level jobs, I am not sure why technical skills are prioritised over personality, enthusiasm and adaptability of a candidate.

I'm a software engineer and I noticed that LinkedIn's business model was pay to spam. They charge $3 to send a message to a candidate, so their incentive is to have recruiters send as many messages as possible so they don't want to make it easy to target. Our business model is to charge per hire, so we try to be as efficient as possible in matching people to the right job and send the fewest candidates we can to hiring managers.
We require companies to give salary and other key information in the job postings too.
We're bootstrapped and still early, but it's' been an incredible ride so far!
