Weird. Distributing startup job offers via email

3 pointsdanielfrese5 comments

Would you like this: A weekly newsletter with job offers from awesome startup companies.

We think about setting up such a service.

We will cover job offers from around the globe. If you provide your favorite work location we can prioritize offers near you and personalize your weekly email.

The service will be 100% free and we won't share any private data publicly.

I would love to hear some feedback from you :-)

I put up two Google Forms to collect realistic feedback:

You can sign up for the list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGticlQ4WmFoRnBiWUZ2ZkxtOFdZdkE6MQ

Post job offers here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDJDVWF3VGpoU1RTbGhXcWxCeXpaQWc6MQ

Sounds cool, but where else will the job seekers come from? If it's just HN then this is like an email version of "Who's Hiring"?

Either way, I've submitted our open positions. Good luck. :)

Ours is a different approach that has some advantages and some drawbacks. As a job seeker, all you have to do is join the list and then you will get offers automatically. It's literally no work. But we don't know if it's gonna work. Depends much on your feedback.

Oh I didn't actually answer your question in my last post. At first we have to get our hands dirty to get the seekers to sign up for the list. Talk to people directly, ask for feedback in developer message boards etc. But if they like the convenience of the service it hopefully spreads.

Cool. I hope it works.

One more thing. Maybe we shouldn't focus on job seekers. Who else is there to focus on? Answer: People who have a job but want to have a better job. These people don't spend their time browsing job sites because they don't desperately need a job. But they may subscribe to our service because it requires no additional time.
