Earlier quoted context omitted.
E-commerce giants in India pay Rs. 1,500,000 - 2,500,000 for a good UX designer. And developers salaries fall in this range too for node/angular/scala.
Is that per year or month?
Sorry thats per annum.

#12Although there's no serious enforcement, having those three days be uncompensated has certain legal requirements under labor laws in the US and some other jurisdictions. In particular, it may be necessary to define the terminology during that trial period in a very specific way (e.g. a "trainee"... IANAL).
That's quite interest to know. However I was going to limit myself till the introductions are made when there's a match. And leave them to discuss the terms. Like travel/stay/pay etc. Now that you've mentioned this I'll need to do some reading up. Thanks :)

#13It's unclear what the profiles are all about. Is it for me as an individual or my company? Posting something cannot be deleted without sending an email. It's not ready for use imo....
Re: Show HN: JobTrial – Try a potential fit, before a fulltime offer
#14is it a developer posting that I am available for a trial or company posting a job that they have a job offer?
If it's both ways, as a job seeker I would have to go through each item and understand if it's a job offer I could try.
The idea is good. But why twitter? why not a simple email? or probably linkedin is understandable.

Communicating the terminology in advance is very important. But, do hackathons fall under these legal requirements? A group of people working for n days without compensation.

The range of Rs. 1,500,000 - 2,500,000 per 'month' is limited to CXOs of Indian companies. It's way too high for designers or developers, primarily due to the cost of living.

Hi,
Its 'Companies list positions and people apply to work with them for 3 days.'
My thought process was that companies will shortlist applicants based on social/public profile and a personal link (could be linkedin or website).

#18Very cool idea. I think this could become a great way for companies/startups to find really great talent.

For the US, you probably want to look into the US Supreme Court case Walling v. Portland Terminal. Generally speaking (again, IANAL), it sounds like the exemptions have to do with ensuring it's an educational experience that benefits the trainee more than the employer.

#20My only concern before using this as a job seeker would be getting used for free work and then not hired. Maybe oder the potion to get paid over those 3 days?
