Show HN: Job-focused lists of product companies using Go, Rust, Scala, Elixir (readytotouch.com)
4 points by harakternik 75 days ago
A couple of years ago, after seeing more and more posts about how long job searches had become, I asked myself: what can I do now, while I still have a job, to make my future job search easier?

That question led me to start maintaining a list of product companies using Go in production and actively hiring engineers. Over time, I expanded it with additional lists for Rust, Scala, Elixir, and Clojure. All lists are updated weekly.

Each company profile includes links to Careers, GitHub, Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, and a LinkedIn search for current and former employees. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments on whether these links are actually useful in practice, and what might be missing. As a fallback, each profile also includes a "Google it" button.

The core idea is to create a single entry point that supports multiple job search paths: applying directly through company Careers pages while building LinkedIn connections in parallel.

Instead of only chasing open positions, the goal is to help people build their careers more deliberately, improve their chances, and avoid starting every job search from scratch.

The project is fully open source (https://github.com/readytotouch/readytotouch), has 1,600+ GitHub stars, and gets 3,500+ monthly users per public Plausible dashboard (https://plausible.io/readytotouch.com).
