Hi HN,

This is an attempt to solve a problem where I felt that people on LinkedIn feel to openly announce being open to new offers. WWBH solves that problem for one to anonymously announce that they are open to new offers.

At the same time it gives recruiters some basic information to quickly search through candidates and their expectation of salary packages as well. I hope this would help recruiters quickly find candidates to fill open positions at their company.

Please have a look and let me know what do you think?

Neat idea. I didn't know it was taboo to be open to new offers, I assumed everyone was open to new offers. Feedback: what's the $ figure? If I were listed here I doubt I'd want to have a dollar amount by my name. As an employer, I might want to click one of the tags to see all people with that tag.

I am working on the skills tag such that anyone can filter based on that single tag. I was 50/50 on the $ amount but given that it works as a filter for recruiters I left it there. This also serves another purpose of sort of anonymously letting other people know what a rate for certain role is in the market which will help them better negotiate with potential employers.
