A few months ago, a team of us at Y Combinator started working on a "common app", so that people could apply to all Y Combinator companies at the same time. It seemed silly to us that even though so many companies are struggling to hire people, it still requires O(n) effort to apply to n companies.
So, we built workatastartup.com. It's a simple way to apply to all YC companies at the same time. It's only for hackers / engineers for now (we hope to open it more broadly later). If a company is interested, you'll get an email directly from one of the founders.
It seems to be working pretty well - many of the people who posted a profile have gotten more than a dozen company founders reaching out to them, and some people have gotten jobs through it already. We'd love if you filled out a profile and let us know what you think (workatastartup@ycombinator.com) : https://www.workatastartup.com
