Show HN: Django Developers – Reverse Job Board for Django Developers (builtwithdjango.com)

Reverse job boards seem an interesting concept to me.

I get the feeling that they shouldn't be niche (IE: Django focused) but instead be general so people can see what else the profile can do, and get as many "ways in" as possible.

I've thought about having a general nature reverse job board, where people can post what they want to do, so that someone who's trying to bring together a team can browse and pick and choose people to message. (Ie: I want to make a photography startup so I want to talk with people who know photos).

Does anything like that exist? I know there's LinkedIn but that falls under social media, I can't look at it seriously enough as a job board.


Just ignore LinkedIn's news feed (or whatever the hell they call it), and poof! it's a job board.


I don't know of anything like that. Good project idea.

The idea of staying close to a niche is that there are enough of site where companies can look for candidates, so I don't want to compete with those.


Why would anyone waste their time creating a profile on this site if no one can find you unless they have a "business subscription".


Allowing only paying businesses to contact you, I ensure that you will be contacted by a high quality firm and neither your or their time is wasted.

You are free to post your profiles on others sites for free too, I'm not stopping you.


How many paying companies do you have?


I just published this today, so 0 right now...


I gave it some thought and made it free.


"Cofirm password" is missing a letter.


Thank you, fixed.


How is it different than djangogigs.com? It has been around since 2008 apparently.


Dang, OP. Must be no room for new entrants in this category. Just shut the site down now...


<3 Made my day!!


this seems weird to me - you crapped on the guy for telling you to shut it down, but told him 'thanks' in another comment for presumably telling you to to shut it down. seems a little passive-aggressive, but to each their own.

in any case, we prob need a statusbar at the top of every 'check out my new site/app/business' post that says, "Yes, we _know_ there is already one of something like this -- maybe even two! And we're still doing it. We'll call you first, next time, to get your permission."

outside of that, i think commenter's question was how is this new site different? -- i.e. not necessarily, why are you doing this again?

it's ok, i would guess, if it is not, in fact, different at all, but maybe it is - which is what the commenter actually asked.


Wasn't aware of this, thanks for sharing!
