What HN said

What people liked

  • Clean, simple design and interface

    From 2 comments
    • I really like the design! I run my own job board tailored for Go engineers but design was never my strong suit, so really good job. FWIW, I set up a twitter bot to tweet about…
      Insanity on HN
    • This is cool, I like the simple interface. Pulling in jobs from usajobs.gov could help expand the results. Anything at a grade <= GS-7 is generally considered to be entry level…

  • Useful idea that saves visiting many job boards

    From 2 comments
    • Thanks for making this! It's really nice because you only have to go to one website as opposed to many. I think some folks might prefer this easy approach, but I personally…

    • So I just opened the website and the first job posting I saw was a software engineering manager position with +10 years of experience requirement. Also there seems to be a…

Objections

  • Listings include senior roles requiring 10+ years experience

    From 4 comments
    • The first job in the list right now is a manager position requiring 10+ years of experience! Perhaps some filtration based on some simple regex could help get rid of at least the…

    • The Apple Software Engineering Manager - Information Security position requires 10+ years industry experience. The bar for entry level positions seems quite high.

    • First result I got searching for Python remote jobs required years of experience.

  • Too many internships, not useful for non-students

    From 3 comments
    • Some quick feedback specific to the listings I got when I plugged in "Germany": almost everything I found is internships. You mention in a comment elsewhere that intern is the…
      Cu3PO42 on HN
    • I plugged in “software engineer” and mostly got back intern positions. I’m not sure that really counts as “entry-level”?
      saagarjha on HN
    • That's a serious problem though. A lot of people looking for entry level developer jobs aren't kids in college. We need something that filters out all the internship stuff. I'm…

  • Site fails to load or shows blank page in some browsers

    From 3 comments
    • I can't get your site to display. Once everything is loaded, all I get is a white page and the favicon.
      BostonFern on HN
    • All I get is a blank screen and a bunch of errors in the console.

    • For me too. Brave 1.15

  • Ad blocker prompt and tracking concerns

    From 2 comments
    • "To provide better results, please disable AdBlocker" How will that help provide better results?
      kotrunga on HN
    • The website is full of tracking stuff (has both Tag Manager and Analytics) and has Google ads. So I am guessing what they mean is, we will not be able to know everything about…

  • Staffing-agency spam such as Revature listings

    From 1 comment
    • IMO companies like Revature and similar should be filtered out. They're plague, they infest every job board out there with dozens of "jobs" but really all they're doing is…

Requests

  • Filtering by category, remote, visa sponsorship and internships

    From 3 comments
    • Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are working on adding more jobs for every country. And categories/ filtering should be ready in the next few weeks.
      docoleman36 on HN
    • Thx this is, something I needed. Maybe add a proper filtering for VISA / relocation sponsorships? Keyword search for Visa doesn't seem to work as expected. Remote filtering seems…
      lymitshn on HN
    • Yes, I understand. Categories/filtering is still in beta and should be released in a few weeks.

  • RSS feed for new jobs

    From 1 comment
    • Could you please consider adding an RSS feed for the recent jobs? It's really popular for job seekers for staying updated on the various search sites. I'd love to add this site…

  • Sort by most recent and remove expired listings

    From 2 comments
    • Can you add the ability to sort by recent? In most cases in my experience jobs that have been sitting out there for more than 10 days are already filled and the company just…

    • Result shows "6d" (posted 6 days ago?). When I click on "Apply", it takes me to ZipRecruiter and says "Expired: over a month ago. Applications are no longer accepted."

  • Add more countries and government jobs

    • Are you planning to show jobs outside of the US? Edit: My bad, I saw jobs in China.

Questions

    From 1 comment
    • This is pretty cool. Sure there are some inaccurate results, but he'll, I often play in search terms in something like LinkedIn and get all useless results. On a somewhat related…

  • How the site makes money

    From 2 comments
    • It will allow the owner to make money, which means the site will continue to exist. People deserve to be paid for their effort, and unless you want to pay a monthly subscription…

Alternatives named

  • ZipRecruiter and Neuvoo search pages

    From 1 comment
    • This website seems to be combining ziprecruiter and neuvoo results into one. It seems to just search for "entry level", "grad", "internship" and "entry level developer" at those…
