Hacker News Job Board?

Re: Hacker News Job Board?
#22I run the Hackers and Founders meetup in Silicon Valley, and people often come up to me looking for devs. I don't send jobs out in our emails, but I do pass the word around if I know someone is hiring. Feel free to ping me with available gigs. Feel free to post gigs on our message board. That gets some traffic.
When people come to me asking for specific programming language experience, I usually point them to that technology specific meetup group here in Silicon Valley. I also point them to Craigslist. There's a ton of hiring that gets done via Craigstlist here.
I also know the other guys who host the HN/ Hackers and Founders meetups in Indianapolis, NY and Tel Aviv. I should ask them how they're approaching this problem. I'll ask them and post a response here.
I do have a friend who is currently looking for iPhone contract work, if that's what you need, definitely ping me.
BTW, I don't make a cent off this. I just like to help friends out if I can.

#23It has crossed my mind that there's a need for a "hacker gigs" sort of job board. It would handle both contract gigs and full-time jobs for hackers, designers and the like, with an emphasis on attracting the sort of people who hang out here. Quick survey: would you use something like that? To find jobs? To advertise jobs?
I would definitely use such a board for contract gigs. Full time gigs if I happened to lose my full time job or see a great startup.

I'd definitely used this kind of board, but I think there are web sites like e-lance or RAC for this, although level of the bigger part of devs there is low, but most of the companies hang there and everyone know that if you want to post job you must go there. In opposition I don't think a big number of job providers visits boards like this one.
A big number would not be a goal; people we would enjoy working with is the goal. So many project posted on other sites want code designed to run on $5/month shared hosting and offer to pay $100 for several hours, if not days of work.
What I have in mind would be low-volume, but high S/N ratio.
