Job seekers struggle to find relevant, trustworthy openings
Job seekers describe searching as demoralizing and time-consuming, and some struggle to find remote, niche, or role-specific opportunities. They also want help judging whether a listing is real, whether their qualifications fit, and what a company’s engineering culture is like. Broad job platforms leave much of that filtering and evaluation to the job seeker.
For job seekers, especially remote, tech/product, and niche-sector workers. Mentioned from Jan 2024 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

I actually tried this a few months ago, but via talking with some friends I know IRL, saying I would pay if they could land me a new position. I wish I thought of what this guy did and posted it on social media. I'm desperate to land a WFH position again
also if there are like rich people services that help you get jobs or tell you what your qualified for i would pay real money for that shit
