A problem job boards have: The more jobs they add the harder it is to find one

7 points by theknight ↗ HN
A few months ago, I launched ProsperCircle.org remote job board. I was obsessed (and still am) with adding high-quality remote jobs and providing people with a wide selection or remote job opportunities.

However, the more jobs I added, the harder I made it for people to find the best match.

The job "discovery" process became harder.

And this is a problem for almost all job boards.

Frankly, many job boards keep the discovery process only at the category level (e.g., marketing jobs, sales jobs).

Over the last month, I set a new goal.

Not only to provide a wide selection of remote jobs but to help people easily discover those jobs.

To make the discovery process easier, I used AI.

I wanted to make the job discovery process as easy as possible.

You just set the job match criteria once and then receive the best matching jobs in your inbox.

Today, I am launching this feature on PH - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dream-remote-job-alert

Now, you can set a remote job alert, and with the help of AI, I score each job based on your alert settings. And only the jobs that score very high on your criteria are shared with you.

Hopefully, it help job seekers.

The issue is the technology not the job board. Most job boards have terrible search which either weights "featured" (increased revenue generating jobs) higher which is wrong, or - as in the most case, the job board uses shit matching and doesn't return good enogh ranked results.
