krazykonkani··on Would you share your interviews anonymously to attract recruiter interest?
Thanks for checking out the website. I agree this product is not for everyone, if you are interviewing with atleast one company or have strong references, it can help you get recruiter interest from other companies sooner, rather than waiting to be discovered by each company.
krazykonkani··on Would you share your interviews anonymously to attract recruiter interest?
I'm building Sourced Once (sourcedonce.com) — a marketplace where engineers actively interviewing can make that momentum visible to other recruiters, attracting interest from more companies.

You being in one or more interview loops is the strongest possible signal to a recruiter. But today that signal is completely invisible — and that information asymmetry consistently hurts candidates.

I have ~50 recruiters from post-Series D and public tech companies already signed up. Candidates are always free, and they stay anonymous till they accept an interest.

Would you use this? What would make you trust it or not?

I'm continuing to work on: https://www.bigoofn.com/

Started it on the side few months ago to help my own job search, there is still a lot of work left to improve data quality and completion, and also add more data points which will help engineers.

krazykonkani··on Show HN: Big O of N(US/Canada), Jobs from the perspective of software engineers
We are reading software engineering positions from Career pages of all companies, early stage startups to established companies. The data might have some small hiccups but we are continuously cleaning it. Suggestions/critiques/advice are very welcome!

All read from Careers pages. We will have a About Us page up this week, will explain how we get the positions.

Exactly! Our goal is to cater to the user's\developer's perspective.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Yes, majority of the engineers are in the state you are in. We have on our roadmap a feature similar to what you are describing.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
We added a delay after each key press in the location filter, it should be easier to use now, please try when you get a chance.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
We tried your suggestion, worked great. Its live now, thanks again!
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks, you can filter for Interns by title. Few postings explicitly mention whether they sponsor visa or definitely don't, so its tricky to determine, we would add it in our things we would like to do list.

The countries above may be rich, but we aren't! Focusing resources on one country at a time and expanding gradually among neighbors. Our goal is to have data for all major tech hubs globally, not just in US and Europe. And there also isn't anything wrong with building a service for the country you live in.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
We don't plan on excluding any established companies, the filters will be expanded and you will see more categories soon.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks! Agreed, the numbers for mobile are significant. Our focus so far was mostly on data collection and cleanup, hence we stayed on building web only. Will spend resources on mobile soon, once couple more features are released on the web.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Will get to that too.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Read from Career pages of all companies, big and small, from Universities as well and soon from government sites.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Giant indeed! Will be fixed.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks! Will fix today, as you can tell we are super early stage. Trying to collect feedback and keep improving.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Apologies, we will prioritize fixing it today. Yes, the traffic has spiked right now which is adding to it.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks, will fix them in today's release.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
There are definitely more categories than what we have and agree the naming can be improved. Next ones we are considering adding are: 'Mid Stage backed by Big Name Investors' and 'University + Govt.' jobs.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks, yes, for now. Canada will be added in couple of weeks, followed by countries in western Europe.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Mobile needs a lot of love for sure. Thanks for suggesting the solution for speeding up the search field, we have an item in this week's list to fix it!
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks for the feedback! We got lucky with the name :). Will check into adding a badge.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks! Not using any APIs, we read from Career pages. Once our processes are more established, we should know when the posting went live, we will start publishing the date soon.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Thanks for the feedback, do agree there are too many job boards now. Our goal is to collect data which would be useful from the perspective of engineers: team size, stock option value, etc. We are still in very early stage in the process.
krazykonkani··on Show HN: BigOofN – job board from the perspective of software engineers
Yeah, career pages of early stage to public companies, with focus on software engineering roles.
