Show HN: I Got Fired from my FinTech Job so I built this (layoffrecruit.com)

I'm Cliff, – nice to meet you. Layoffrecruit is something that I wish existed for me less than 2 years ago.

You see, I was dealt a devastating blow when I got laid off from my fintech job after 6 years. I felt hurt, lost, and like a complete failure. I had no idea what my next move would be.

Today, thousands of tech talent are being laid off by tech companies every day, 138,302 in 2023 alone. And, just as I felt, I'm sure those affected by these current layoffs feel the same way today – lost and devastated.

This is why I built Layoffrecruit – to help recently laid-off tech talent find new jobs and get back on their feet.

LayoffRecruit is the world's first job board for any employee affected by layoffs. We help connect talent with startups and top tech companies looking to hire them.

I'm stoked to be sharing this with the community. I'd love to know what you think here, or you can hit us up at hello (at) layoffrecruit.com if you have questions/feedback/suggestions!
