Wow that's a lot of applications. I am actually shocked. How come? Are you not getting the jobs or are you striving for the perfect position? Were all those applications hand crafter for each position?
They might have attended a dev bootcamp. The one I went to required you send out 20-30 applications a week until you got a job.

#22I've been noodling on this product idea for about 6 months now, but never gotten around to building it. Drat, but congrats on doing it. One killer feature I would propose is to help candidates weigh up multiple offers; salary, equity, commute time, enjoyment, advancement, etc.
And rather than have competition destroy your idea, take it as one data point towards validation.

It's probably coming straight out of the Kremlin. We've all seen how they get someone elected and polarize nations.
Love the idea of a comment, but I care more about not enabling evil people from getting control.

I don't think it's an unfair assessment about potential or actual security. And it's a fair critique. Whether it's a legitimate concern based on this particular implementation is another matter, but they are correct in that work history is probably sensitive personal history, perhaps not secretive. And there is evidence attached to the OP post - it's the link marked [0].
This thread is about this specific app/idea/team. It is not about potential security problems in general. The parent could have just asked "what is the security and privacy?" rather than make baseless assumptions and accusations. So no, it is not a fair critique without more information and I don't see how an article about unsecured Firebase databases is related given the current information. I can give you a similar…
So don't ask me to pull myself through your sales funnel, make the process easy by addressing my major concerns before i need to ask.

Do you have evidence or are you just being unnecessarily unkind?

So that would be my feedback to the poster: Detail how you ensure privacy and secure data. That should be a major part of the product description for this type of app at the outset.

If I'm a customer in a domain where these are concerns though, each question you make me ask during my evaluation is a chance for me to quit doing the work and move on to something else that's less effort, like the competing product that pushes their security and privacy policies upfront as a product benefit. So don't ask me to pull myself through your sales funnel, make the process easy by addressing my major concer…

#29This is super-compelling.... if you can add a lightweight ATS on the other side. It is very hard for recruiters to remember all the people that they have interviewed. But if you give them that functionality, you have the potential to kill all the ATS out there by going from the interviewee side of things. Kind of like Github for interviews!

#30How do you plan on making money? My concern would be that you need to be extremely upfront about what data you're collecting and if you're selling it back to these companies whom the person interviewed with (even if anonymized). This is a very personal exchange between an employee and employer that could have significant impact on employment negotiations. For example, I might not want employer A, knowing that I'm als…
Currently, companies can claim their company pages but exchange for uploading a company logo, description and maybe job listing.
