What are the top 20 candidates if you just need a random “full stack developer”? All of their resumes look exactly the same.
Keep raising the bar until all but 20 are excluded.
Surely you will not manage to hire one of the top 20 developers matching any given criterion unless you are paying too 1% compensation. (I made this number up.)
One of the criteria somehow is “will show up for work and not ghost us”.
The answer is yes, and I speak for everybody. People use job boards anyway, why not use another one with the +1 that, at least, you won't get scammed. Everyone likes to pretend this and that, "I wouldn't do it", "what problem do you solve", etc. I've published many jobs and they all come like hyenas fighting over scraps. Don't listen to them, just build the thing; they'll use it, they need the bread, lmao.

That’s not enough. Surely you will not manage to hire one of the top 20 developers matching any given criterion unless you are paying too 1% compensation. (I made this number up.) One of the criteria somehow is “will show up for work and not ghost us”.
Imo it might be worthwhile creating a job board that solves the “company-side” issue with the current recruitment process where 200 people will spam AI generated slop CV to every post that opens up. Some kind of account coupled with a ratelimit and you should already deliver some value to people recruiting.
Maybe job advertisers don't want to verify, maybe it's too much hassle, maybe it costs so much to verify that you need to charge too much for listings, maybe verified listings don't scale.
It's all fine to ask what-ifs like this, but since this is obviously the good thing, you need to come with a strategy for how you'll actually achieve it.
To a large degree, the problem with job boards is job boards are a two sided market for lemons On the one hand, applicants are applicant who cannot find a job through people they know and the companies are companies who cannot find candidates through people they know Good jobs and good employees come through relationships and you cannot automate relationships. Relationships are hard. Good luck.
Probably not, as you’d essentially be performing the function of a recruiter, but not providing the ability for applicants to skip the initial steps of the hiring process by talking to you. Recruiters already list their open jobs in board-like software.
And like, sure, there are some terrible ones. But I've worked some incredible groups, too.
What does "verified" mean here? You can verify that a real company posted that job, but you can't verify whether it is fake in the sense that they really have an H1B candidate they really want for the position and they are just advertising it to meet legal requirements.
