I'm planning on building the reverse soon. Hacker Resumes I guess. If you're looking for a job, you post info about yourself, location, links to all of your relevant info, and select from a few categories. Companies can then browse and see if anyone meets their needs.

Now that's an idea. Good job. (Not that the other one is bad. This is just my preference)

I would find this useful. Having a HN member in good standing submit the job sends a positive signal about the position.

(shameless plug: http://eupathdb.org/ is hiring a front-end developer, see http://bit.ly/kYH9zp for more information)

What value would you suggest?

I think anything from 200 to 500 would work well. Anything at or over 1000 is problematic since to get that you need to be quite active on the site.

500+; the downvoting threshold should be enough.

I think if anything, it's not restrictive enough. The idea is that HN acts as a community filter for membership, and 200 is really not much for an active member of the community.

What value would you suggest?

If the main point is to filter out recruiters, then 100 or 2 years should be fine. There's no need to filter out less active posters.

Thank you. I've had very good results from HN contacts. I can't wait for this.

Since there's enthusiasm for this I will set the site up and submit it here. Unless PG cries foul and says he doesn't like me hijacking the HN karma for this purpose. OK. I built it. Here's the announcement: http://blog.jgc.org/2011/06/usethesource-job-board-for-hacke...

I don't meet your qualifications, and I'm already thinking to myself that I need to post/comment more. So here's a data point.

For a brief moment there I thought you were suggesting that it should only be available to people who registered 100 or 2 years ago
