Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously). We have similar domain names :D

One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results". It could help you reach more people.

I don't think I understand what it means to work pseudonymously and esp. to hire/get hired that way. How does a company check references, past work history, diplomas, anything really, if the candidate won't share their name?

The idea is super interesting, though, but a detailed explanation on the website would help.

Good question! So a candidate is sharing their name. It's just not necessarily their legal/government name. They're not anonymous. They're pseudonymous. Meaning they're just working under a different name. But there's still a name.

In many cases, the individual would operate online and work under that one pseudonym, as opposed to changing their pseudonym every day. That way, they can accrue reputation, and an employment history, and credentials, under that identity, just like they could with their legal/government identity. So if you wanted to evaluate a potential candidate, the process would look pretty similar to evaluating a candidate who has provided their legal name. With a few differences here and there.

I think it's interesting too! Thanks for saying that. You're absolutely right about including a detailed explanation on the site. Will add that for sure.

Of course, people could choose to have multiple pseudonyms too. Each would have its own reputation and history. There's a lot of interesting work going on to make it possible to port some reputation between identities without necessarily having to expose your different identities.

Thanks, I did follow your launch when it's on HN and it gave me some motivation to do this.

I was actually wondering about the Google jobs indexing, thanks for the tip!

Awesome! If you ever want to bounce ideas shoot me an email. You can find my email in the "about" section of my profile. :)

How does one get paid without giving personal information?

[0xPersona]

Good question. So many of these jobs all you to work pseudonymously but your legal identity is still shared with some members of the organization (like execs/HR/finance) for onboarding purposes. Some just pay out in cryptocurrency to a wallet address.

Interesting, but if my legal information is still shared with the company, what are the benefits of getting paid in crypto?

[0xPersona]

Many of the benefits of being paid in crypto are just benefits of crypto in general: decentralized, permissionless, censorship-free money.

Aside from that, there's an emerging trend that I think is both really cool and will end up being the default way most people are paid. That trend is "payment streaming". Products like Superfluid [1] let you stream cryptocurrency payments. Staff could be paid in realtime rather than waiting to receive a monthly paycheck. That will prove really compelling for prospective employees and I think that most organizations will eventually make the switch to streaming salaries. Some organizations even have public dashboards that show how much is being streamed in realtime and to whom. The transparency is super cool!

In the near future, we'll look back on the way we get paid today as unbelievably suboptimal and anachronistic.
