I don't think King.com and SurveyMonkey are startups. What's stopping this from just turning into another job board? Once the recruiters catch wind of this it will be filled with junk.
You can cross-reference the Crunchbase API to have filters on the companies such as funding, employee coutn, location, etc. That would guarantee the startup fits the profile of what the applicant is looking for.
Great point. One way I can think of is to moderate each and every job submission. This could be costly in terms of manpower. Maybe put a requirement that your business must have 10 or less employees.
Who goes on such a site? Jobseekers. Which jobseeker has an incentive to retweet a job s/he finds interesting? Usually YOU want the job you find interesting. Why retweet it when this makes it harder for you to get the job?
Browser navigation does not seem to do much (I click on UK then back arrow and remain in UK, have to reload page or click on All to get back to All).
Esc to close the popup when clicking on an ad would be useful. (Naturally try to do this, and got stuck with a swirly at one point, close button didn't appear. Reload to fix).
It's a difficult one for a startup job listing, but some indication of expected Salary or perhaps even an indication of equity / salary options would be good.
Thanks for the feedbacks! Very much appreciated :)
I'll look into the bugs you mentioned
I'm not so sure about the equity/salary part. Angellist does this but the ranges are often so wide (like $80k-$140k) they don't really seem relevant to me. We'll definitely check if it makes sense :)
I'd like to put an advert on but why do you need Twitter authorisation? It's not clear to me exactly what you're going to do so I'm reluctant to authorise.
Not sure of the ideal solution but you are referencing 3 forms of social validation users are aware of: upvotes, karma, and retweets. I understand the relationship among the 3 but it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity.
If the crowd is stupider than individual people, why use it to curate? You'll have the latest Californian startups in drone delivery of gluten-free flour for the whole SOMA district area, but not the next disruptive stuff from a small Spain town.
I found a gig I was interested in. There doesn't seem to be a way to contact them though. Their link goes to their homepage which has no contact info. Maybe the site could facilitate that ?
I had the opposite reaction. The design uses grids which are worse than lists for scanning.
There is a study (or statistics, at least) that showed a row layout made the user actually see _every_ product in an online shop while a grid view made the user skip many.
