Jobs/Idea site for Ycomb folks (in development, suggestions welcome!)
jobs.jaggederest.com
jobs.jaggederest.com
Feel free to add items to the site for 'jobs' you'd like me to do. I envision it growing, and I'm working on making the body text wikified right now.
All apologies to reddit and news.YC for ripping off the votable-items format :)
Commit access if you ask nice? Or something?
Note that is the development version, the production version is deployed in a different fashion (config mostly). So don't go trying to 'hack' that user on the server itself.
2) What competitive advantage do you have? Over the dozens (more?) already out there?
Suggestion: Is it possible to write a meta bot, so that when a visitor to your site types in the job keywords, then your bot will log in (using your login), to say, monster.com and retrieve the relevant 'records', then log in to dice, then log in to....?
Then you can post the summarized results. "Go to dice for Usability analyst. OR, Post your resume at npost.com/founderfinder.com for a cofounder"
IMHO, that will be very useful. Monster et. al. wont sue you either, because you arent cloaking their stuff in yours'.
I'm trying to think more about what I would want in terms of relationships, e.g. what kind of company is it, what kind of person am I hiring. Search is pretty well dead, I mean, even google's gotten into the vertical jobsearch market.
I'd like to make this something more like rubyrockstars or joel's board, but with better features. Right now those sites are essentially a bad craigslist clone.
Something much needed and wanted by people having trouble looking for co-founders, etc.
Hopefully this will bloom into a reliable resource and network.
Do others a favor and vote this up so they're aware of this potential tool.
