Ask HN: Is there a hire by “values match” site?

2 points by westonplatter0 ↗ HN
So here's the issue I have with hiring platforms, I often get paired with companies based on technical skills or industries I've worked within, but I really just want to work alongside people I share similar values with.

I'd love to find my next job through a platform that matches me with a company that aligns with my values.

For example:

- 12 month or more financial runway

- executives have strategic plan written out for profitability (ie, they're not just winging it)

- product decision makers say no to things, but also listen

- decisions made based on quantitative and qualitative analysis

- proactive communication culture

(PS - am I asking for too much in a 50-200 person company?)

That would be awesome, but how could these things be measured-- decision makers saying no, proactive communication, etc?

Some of them, like financial runway, are also usually well-guarded information.

totally get some values are only shared with trusted parties. maybe there could be public and non-public values?

some of my values are inherently qualitative, so I would expect ask for examples (which are not ancedotal).

For example,

- Provide written plans for the last 2-5 features you pushed out.

- What's the process for firing employees ... is any of it in writing?

- What's the template for communicating ideas across the company quickly? Amazon has the 1-page tactical doc, the 6-page strategy doc, M$soft the 30 second CEO update, Google the 2 minute pitch. What communication norms/templates do you have within your company?
