Earlier quoted context omitted.

If the mods aren't going to enforce the rules what other options do we have? Serious question. This ad has been posted in 11/12 threads this year. Perhaps there should be a cooldown on the same posting after 3 months? Job applicants are under enough stress as it is, they shouldn't be fooled into wasting their time applying to ghost jobs.

How do you propose that we enforce it, even if we had the resources to do so? We can't tell which job ads are real and which ones aren't, just as we can't tell which posters in "Who Wants to Be Hired" are real and which one's aren't. There's a lot of fraud and heartache on both sides of this transaction right now. Sorting wheat from chaff is an unsolved problem. To work on that, we'd have to become specialists in it,…

The solution has been mentioned in the threads you linked, and I haven't seen any argument against it - let users share their experiences and/or question job postings in the replies. Heck, the author responded to my comment and had mine not been detached, people could have read the exchange and come to their own conclusions. You're simply protecting the companies with this type of one sided moderation. The way to combat fraud isn't to prevent people from speaking out against it.

If you aren't capable of telling what postings are real/not real (and fair enough, it's a hard problem) what makes you think you can do the same for the replies?

I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like it's very one sided, and in the current market which heavily favours hirers over seekers it's just another thing going against the seekers. Who often have real concrete stressors like the threat of homelessness.

Either that or remove the rules that by your own words are unenforceable, so people aren't mislead into thinking this board is more curated than, say, indeed or LinkedIn.

CoPlane (https://coplane.com/) | Product/Design Engineer + Designer | NYC or Remote (North America) | Full Time

The world doesn't need another ERP. CoPlane is building the Agentic Orchestration platform that enables enterprises to orchestrate intelligent processes across their existing systems. Founded by ex-Stripe/Segment product and tech leads, we're changing how businesses operate their backoffice - helping them scale intelligence not headcount.

We're looking for exceptional engineers to grow our small founding team of engineers that include ex-founders, open source contributors (authors of neovim and neverthrow), and architects of petabyte-scale data platforms. You'll work with billion-dollar enterprises solving their hardest, most mission-critical automation problems.

If you're excited about working at the nexus of data, automation and AI, and want to make a significant impact in an early, well-capitalized startup with large enterprise design partners, we'd love to hear from you.

Hi! I happened to see this post before it was detached. For a bit of additional context: we hire for multiple roles and have actually hired multiple people through these threads :) We review every application by hand and get back to every single applicant, usually within 72 hours, despite thousands of LLM-generated spam/fraud applications. It takes a tremendous amount of time and energy, but we do it because we know…

Thanks for your response :) In my experience almost all companies claim to respond to applications or inquiries but I expect most seekers would say it's more like 1/10.

It may be worth mentioning that you're continuing to open new positions and hire in the next thread. That would be (imo) a positive signal for others and would dispel these types of concerns. Because like others have said, they remember the companies who post over and over again and tend to not bother with them, under the assumption that they just aren't filling the position (if they even exist).

Can you drop more info here on how it works. Before we go through sign up process. Sounds quite easy to come up with such tasks. E.g. prove collatz conjecture. or write an O(log N) worst case sort. So there must be some boundaries. The pay clearly isnt by hour so how is it worked out?

Yes, of course! Tasks must be coding problems to complete in a set of open-source repositories. We have eight repositories now and will add more in the future. You can source tasks by identifying merged commits into these repos, and making the following: - A well-defined task description (what should the AI do?) - A golden solution (can be sourced by the implementation in the merge commit) - A test patch (can be sour…

So this has to be a meaningful PR for the open source repository? You can't just invent arbitrary coding challenges?

This seems like trying to get free code contributions with a weird sort of gambling mechanic attached.

[flagged]

This sounds more like the AI version of mechanical Turk than a job that someone can be "hired" for. If this is the case, this post doesn't belong here imo This post certainly does not follow the comment guidelines or format

Yes, to be perfectly transparent, this is for a contract work position! However, many of our contributors appreciate the flexibility and transparent payment structure. If you are exclusively looking for full-time roles, this is not for you.
