#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Good idea. If we can't infer enough information sometimes we'll reach out and ask one or two questions.
It would also be great, if we could just import our information from LinkedIn.
If you attach your resume, we'll parse it for you. LinkedIn has set a precedent of cease and desists for products like this, we wanted to avoid that path.

#23Just went through the signup process. There should be a textbox for those of us who don't maintain great github profiles to say a few words about ourselves.
I just submitted, but I'm a product manager - looks like you're focusing on engineers only? We're useful too (sometimes).

#24I noticed you guys used the same form UI as Barack Obama's donation page. I like it!

#25One item to pay attention to is location. If someone currently works in San Francisco and choose to remain there, will a Palo Alto company be able to contact them? Is there a default radius? Perhaps someone wants to relocate, but only to specific cities. Expanded options would be nice.
Yeah, we understand there are unique situations like this so we typically reach out for more information when someone says they are willing to relocate.

Ideally this should be made clear on the front page - under Learn More?

#28Hi HN. We were tired of recruiters so we built this because it was something we wish existed. We had "satisfying" jobs and liked who we worked with but we were not naive and knew there could be a better job out there. Either building a product more aligned with our personal interests, making more doing something we enjoyed even more, or work with a team that challenged us further. It was too time consuming to activel…
How much does it cost? I assume this is going to be fee-based on the employer side? I'd feel more comfortable participating if the nature of the transaction were more transparent.

#30As a developer, I love the concept - obviously, a tool that filters for great jobs and pitches them to developers is really appealing. However I'm curious about a few things:
1) It sounds like companies are hand picked. On the other side: How do you filter for great developers? I'm sure you can't assume every prospective employee signup is a top-tier developer. Do you have some algorithmic, human, or other process?
2) As someone about to graduate and transition to a PHD program after the summer, I'm looking at technically challenging summer internships. I'm sure there are other prospective interns. Do you have any plans to support matching summer internships?
3) Assuming a github profile is the only "resume" your site accepts (implied by another comment here), where do developers list journal and conference publications? (Apologies in advance if this assumption is wrong -- I haven't signed up due to reasons mentioned in question #2.)
Thanks!
