Ask HN: What would a (much) better AngelList look like?

1 points by v1l ↗ HN
As a candidate, the problems I've faced on AL are:

- often not enough info in the job postings I come across

- it's too easy to apply (this makes my application one in a hundred)

- my applications stay pending for days (or weeks sometimes)

As a hiring manager:

- far too much noise. Candidates who are completely unqualified, not in the locations I'm hiring in, or too junior apply

- not great if I'm hiring for fractional, freelance/part-time, or contract roles (doing more of this now)

- copy/paste (cover letter) applications

- no way to get senior talent to consider applying (for all the problems outlined above)

What is good:

- salary/equity info

- free (unless you're sourcing)

- quick to get started
