dvykhopen··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2024)
fs/be eng needed for Massive (usemassive.com, like Tinder for Jobs).

here's a quick vid: https://www.tiktok.com/@wowitsmassive/video/7384457835934977...

we're growing fast: from $0 --> $1.5mm ARR in <1 year. in that time, we've helped thousands of people land life-changing jobs.

I think Massive will be the way most people find their jobs in the future.

we're a small team but move incredibly fast.

if you want to ship features that thousands of people use every week and are not afraid to experiment (and sometimes fail), then this is the one.

Pay is $110,000 - $150,000/yr or contract $60 - $100/hr. remote US or NYC hybrid 2x/week

stack is react, javascript, python, go, node

dvykhopen··on Launch HN: Dots (YC S21) – Bot Builder for Discord
looking for this for a while bc i always have to ask my eng team to help build discord bots and that's not a good spend of resources -- have actively tried to build on my own but honestly just gave up and our community suffered bc of it.

product seems super intuitive. will try it with a subset of our community later today!

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
thank you!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
hahah trying hard, we really love what we're building and want a lot of people to know about it :) it was a totally different product 4 mos ago and we used that feedback to make it massively better

as for who is this for, we obviously didn't make it clear. Our goal is to help folks become rich by choosing the right fast-growing startup to work for. that's why we think people would want to pay, and this is what we can do 10x better than anyone else.

ie, if you asked me right now which startup you should join to make tons of money in a few years, I would tell you the top 5 right ones for you. We want to productize that.

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
yes, so sorry filtering was soo messed up, especially for anon accounts -- fixing this week!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
it's been posted once 4 months ago, when this was an entirely different product. We used much of the feedback from the last post to put our heads down and build a better product for the community here.
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
thank you SO much for the thoughtful response by the way, our team talked about this one a lot!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Yeah the raw data thing is something our team seriously talked about as a "why is an excel sheet more valuable than our product rn?" It's not right, but it gives us an idea of the right direction.

As for value -- yes, this came up a lot and we're aggressively tackling this. Our beachhead is folks who want to make loads of money at a fast-growing startup but don't know how to pick the right one. We're changing a few things in the product to make this more clear + easier to actually do.

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
filtering was broken, so sorry!

we tried the recruitment model a few mos ago but thought we could push the boundaries a lot more with aggregation + technology -- it got us REALLY excited.

I'd love for the product to do the explaining :) we're addressing the USP issue asap!

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
It is, just hard to hear sometimes :) working on clarity asap (but I think it has more to do w product/UX than copy)
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Omg we didn’t turn on product roles, shoot!!!! Changing and deploying shortly
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Ok
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Wdym??
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Anon filtering is broken! Works with account, sorry fixing asap
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
Ok
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
We aggregate jobs (1k/week rn, 15k/week soon) so we don’t need to have the startups on our platform. Go apply directly on their site.

Also, our comp estimator tool gives you primary data from tons of other employees at very similar companies (location, $ raised, industry, etc). More accurate than something self-reported like Glassdoor. The goal is for you to be able to use this in salary negotiation. Actively working on this

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
There are literally 0 comments from anyone we know — why comment this kind of stuff?? Not a good look for you
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
anon search is broken rn
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
anonymous search is broken right now -- wondering if you created an acct? that search is different
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
if you were anonymous, that search is broken rn -- create acct and it should get better!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
lost it in latest deployment, will add it back tomo
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
ugh, thanks. noted
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
so sorry, servers in US East Coast so will be a bit longer outside of that. Fixing next week!!!
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
font is old designer, animation and UX is new designer -- he'll be happy :)

also yeah we'll be experimenting w trial/usage etc aggressively

edit: interesting to hear the culture thing -- our hypothesis was raw data would be more important to sr, whereas "culture" is kinda hard to define -- like what are people saying on Blind, Glassdoor, etc? I feel like you can only get a real feel for culture on interviews + talking to employees/investors. But yeah, exciting plans there

dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
what if you had access to just the data -- like a spreadsheet? and you could build your own search? also kind of don't like the search and want to rip it up
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
wow wth really
dvykhopen··on Show HN: Paid job search? Are you nuts?
give us 2 weeks -- we didn't have the bandwidth to add infosec, IT + data. tons of them in our queue!
dvykhopen··on Someone is pretending to be me
I run a job platform. This scam is pervasive, especially with contract work. We've had to get really good at recognizing patterns because their covers are really good (even faking passports and work history).

Many of the big contract platforms are dealing with this too. Hiring managers are getting tired of it and are 1) not hiring as many contract workers and 2) not using platforms to hire those workers.

Unfortunately, this hurts small companies more since their hiring practices are so lax and there's a crop of new ones every few months.

dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
If co's want to find candidates, we look for opted-in users who v closely fit their req's and make direct, double-opt-in intros right now. All parties seem to love this method :)
dvykhopen··on Show HN: We used investor tools to find the best startups to work at
very honest take and I absolutely see where you're coming from. agree we need to get matching + company info right.

seems like you know a lot about the space, would love to ask you a few questions if you're down -- dan@joinmaasive.com
