Hey HN, I built a UI on top of the "Who is hiring" posts. Take a look at https://hnwork.app ! One of the downsides of unstructured text posts is the readability due to it being free-form and having little to no format. While there are other tools that have been built over the years to make perusing Who is hiring posts easier, I took a try on making my own (I actually tried to build this at a YC hackathon a few years back, but got around to completing it recently). Features: 1. Text search and search filters 2. Original post text with call outs to important information 3. Removes posts that aren’t on topic (complaints, seeking work, vague or missing contact info) 4. Analytics 5. API In addition, job posters can create accounts to submit postings through the app. While I don’t expect posting to move over to this app, it’s what I envisioned what a Who is hiring thread would like as an app: 1. Structured postings with required fields (e.g., salary range required) 2. Job posters get notifications about comments on their posts 3. Job posters get verified through their email before posting (e.g., someone posting a Sony job has a Sony email address) 4. Companies with multiple job posters can coordinate postings and view past postings 5. Admins can audit and approve companies and posts Job seekers can also create an account to post comments or get access to a simple API but otherwise browsing doesn’t require any kind of signup/signin. I’m open to feedback: let me know if you’d like me to ingest more data from past months, something is missing or broken, or there’s a new feature you’d like to see. Thanks!
