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.

👉 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.

👉 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.

I would create a new product / platform that feeds product hunt, just to keep the value of product hunt CLEAR and focused.

@iamsaura Do you mean a separate platform outside the PH?
Or integrated to PH?

It’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

@ricoardiya 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_barreiro1 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.

You mean bring back Product Hunt Job Listings? 😉

@chrismessina 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" – that is a pity, if it were somehow connected to products/companies existing on this platform, at least it would have some background.
