Would it make sense to have job postings on Product Hunt?

I may be wrong, but a few years ago, job opportunities were promoted here by companies when they wanted to find someone to join their team.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This is also a question for founders or companies:

Would it make sense to onboard tech-savvy or business-oriented people from here?

I often see on Reddit or similar forums how someone is trying to put together a team (e.g. also for the sake of easier access to capital from VCs and investors), to fill a job position so that the PH launch could be properly implemented.

๐Ÿ‘‰ And maybe a question for the team:
Were these job offers effective for the platform before? Were advertisers successful in recruiting promising tech talents from the platform's visitors to their teams?

I think the people who are active here have a good understanding of the latest technology trends and could potentially help improve products from within the companies.

Itโ€™s a good food for thought. In my opinion, PH might be a good place to find the founding member (co-founder and founding engineer). The community is very much driven by passion and the latest tech. So I believe PH is a suitable platform to post jobs for early members in your team. I might be wrong too

@ricoardiyaย Co-founder, speeddating/matching? Sounds good :D

I would test this idea by allowing companies to add a link to an external jobs positions page. Then show a "We're hiring" button on their products pages and track clicks.

@fabio_barreiro1ย This experiment seems to be legit. Like it doesn't draw too much attention to itself, but at the same time it gives it space.

I think itโ€™d be pretty cool to be able to โ€œsuper upvoteโ€ a company and have the option to apply integrated in

@warrenharmonย Can you elaborate on what you mean?

You mean bring back Product Hunt Job Listings? ๐Ÿ˜‰

@chrismessinaย This is relics. Yes, I meant this. It was probably deactivated before I started using the platform.

"There's no connection between the companies on the platform and the openings listed" โ€“ that is a pity, if it were somehow connected to products/companies existing on this platform, at least it would have some background.
