This exactly. Their messaging is over the top "we help engineers get leverage over companies!" I have to wonder what Triplebyte is telling the companies who actually pay them all their money.

Triplebyte has always seemed scummy and this obvious--and unacknowledged--contradiction makes me trust them even less.

They could just simply be telling companies that they have the engineers, and other job boards do not.

That's part of it.

We do also have differentiating features on the company side. It's not like we're abandoning the idea of building features for companies or anything.

The job search, like other matching problems, is often not zero sum. So building (say) a better search interface for companies benefits engineers as well, because both sides of the market have an interest in a good match. What we're saying here is that in the cases where things -are- zero sum, the power - and therefore the incentives - lie with engineers and not with employers.
