Site looks good, but didn't bring in anything from LinkedIn. Also, the "blocked" filtering doesn't seem to do anything, and I keep getting random Server Errors when clicking on certain positions.
Do you support any kind of Markdown, or plan to, or to provide links to resume, github, etc?
I look forward to seeing this take off.

A head's up for Hacker News folks - this is entirely for jobs in Detroit. Some other feedback: - Bait and switch sucks. Showing salaries before signing up, and then saying "whoops, we don't have salaries" after signing up is poor form - Building powerful filters won't help most job seekers. Most job seekers keep the net wide because it's hard to predict what the perfect job is going to have as a keyword in it. (I hel…
Not sure why the downvotes. HN seems like the lolly pop guild on steroids with a code to punish anything perceived as negativity, regardless of the usefulness.

I hope he makes it big, because I'd like to use that feature. It would be a great way for the constant self-improvers to find the most effective upgrades to make to their job profile ("should I learn OCaml, or go deeper with SQL"?), and could also be a godsend to those folks who are being blocked from the job of their dreams by a single "cringe-worthy" aspect of their profile, but who don't know it and don't have friends who will tell them.
Lesson to the wise: Use cloudflare if you are not prepared to scale up and expecting a lot of traffic. It's saved me more than once.

What really got me though was complaining that you could not upload a resume. Seriously, give it some thought. Parsing non-structured data in an accurate way is a very hard problem and I would venture getting highly accurate results on 80% of resumes would take hundreds or even thousands of man hours to build a system, getting it on 90% or more could be exponentially more difficult. It simply is not worth the investment of time unless you have a breakthrough technique, and if you have that - well that is your startup, not a job site.
Feedback is awesome, but not everything that crosses your mind is worth sharing.
But I like the filtering features, and I'm definitely interested in seeing where this goes. Well done!
Greetings Hacker News! Back in 2009 I graduated with a degree in Psychology into one of the worst job markets in years. I was unemployed for about 6 months, during which I tried every job website out there, and thought each one was terrible. I had some programming experience, so I hacked up a demo that I tried to put out there in 2010 called Scoople, but it was a single page php file that ran horribly and was really…
I love everything about your site, except the choice of background colors. Why black / dark grey? It's really really hard on the eyes and I have seen that dark theme used only for nightclub websites and boxing websites (and it doesn't make sense even there.)
Wow, this is very interesting. I find this an amazing comment. I'm curious what the bias for white backgrounds is (or at least not 'dark' backgrounds). It's very common in web design, yet relatively neutral for application and other graphic design. Document based applications are usually white of course, but games, content creation, utilities, and many other app types are not. I have often wondered why white is so am…
Now I don't need to worry about getting shadowbanned! I figured out where the line is. Thank you for showing me `The Way`!
