Indeed, the title given here doesn't seem to appear on the page at all, which makes this seem like clickbait. The title should be changed to 'Private jobs board' or similar. But then no one would click on it or upvote it. I assume a lot of people vote and comment without clicking the links on HN.

I started the thread - Not click bait at all. If you read my comment you can see what I built etc. But, yes its got some traction, seems people are pretty fired up (me included) about the state of the job market and just how hard it is to land a interview let alone a offer

We're seeing a flood of fake AI generated job applications basically DDOSing our hiring funnel. Not sure how widespread it is but it has become enormously frustrating to sift the complete garbage from the good resumes. I'm sure a lot of good people have been accidentally filtered out It's rough out there right now. Also, not even sure what the benefit or angle is for spamming fake job applications.

The reason you are getting spammed is because a) agencies are trying to secure an interview before they have a candidate; b) they are trying to convince you to use their offshore teams. Ask around inside your company if any offers from offshore providers have been submitted/talks are being conducted. DDoS-ing hiring funnels is a way to convince you that "no good people are available".
Clever tactic, info overload them, then sell the solution

Anecdotally, one of these AI generated people made it THROUGH my company’s hiring funnel, apparently HR didn’t check references. Not the worst performer I’ve ever seen, clearly a fake and they got weeded out after a couple of weeks, but it seemed way more like a “get as many remote jobs as possible and if you get fired from one then just keep the process rolling”
Thats sad and hilarious at the same time. Agree, I feel HR KPIs are based on number of applicants Vs quality or finding the right one

Good luck finding work - you are clearly talented if you can make a site like this.
Re the titling/clickbait comment - I was referring to the policy here that posts should follow the page title of the site you are linking to: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
But as you can see here in other comments, others note this too.

This really should have been "Show HN: I built a job board", or something along those lines.

It’s a great title and idea for an article.
Maybe start a blog for the board, and create that article?
