How to look for a job at a startup?

1 pointyalogin3 comments

Are there any sites that startups post to (like linkedin) looking to fill jobs in general? Or do all the important hires happen through word or mouth?

View on HN

Recruiters contact me all the time for startup positions in NYC, almost on a daily basis (no joke). They find me from my profile on LinkedIn.

I would say that it is important to optimize your LinkedIn profile for a particular type of position and monitor how many people are viewing your profile and how often you come up in search results.

Great point. My linkedin profile is more or less empty. I do get calls from recruiters but not that many. I did not know about the statistics about people viewing the profile till now.

You could take a loot at the Who is hiring thread here on HN, most if not all of them are for startups and some are even into remote work.
