Just letting you know, hiring managers can already target this audience: http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs
and i think there's some website where you can pitch a job idea and they'll give you $ to start a company.
Am I eating crazy pills? I have a jobs board in my menu bar.. and i think there's some website where you can pitch a job idea and they'll give you $ to start a company.
I'm only a student, so take my words with a grain of salt. I don't mean to advertise for StackOverflow, but it struck me that an their job board would be the biggest competitor to a potential HN job board. I find that jobs.stackoverflow.com is clean and seems to have consistently interesting postings. On the other hand, I'm not sure how many conversions they get, and the UI is rather basic. They've also recently laun…
Yet, I never knew they had a job board, til now
Great tip, thank you.
Quick survey: would you use something like that? To find jobs? To advertise jobs?
1. I think it will be hard to find developer in the region you need. For this you better really visit your local group meeting(like JimBastard advised) or some educational institution to find some graduating students.
2.Someone reading Hacker News won't be a good developer/designer every time.
It's free to post listings, provided you give enough information about the company and a good job description.
This site has been online for three years now, but it was only focused on the Brazilian market. Just recently we put a international version. We are working on new features that we hope will make the hiring process smarter, less of a trial-and-error approach.
Even without those features, I'd say without doubt that job4dev is where Brazilian hackers and qualified developers find out about job opportunities, when they can't find them through regular networking.
We want to make the same thing for all of the world, now. We need to break out of the chicken-and-egg problem, and I guess that HN is good place for that.
Please, take a look at the site: feel free to put your listing there, and feedback would be much appreciated.
Only YC companies are allowed to post under the jobs tab but anyone else can post that they are hiring or looking for a job.
It 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.
