Key Points:

  • A bot regularly scrapes 4.1 million jobs directly from company websites and uses ChatGPT to summarize and categorize each job.

  • Doesn't allow companies to post directly

  • Bans recruiting agencies and 3rd party consulting shops (especially the offshore ones)

  • There is a filter for "Easy or Lengthy apply" that lets you filter out applications links to sites like Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, and all the other shitty ones.

Why I like it so far:

  • Your saved jobs are all on a single infinitely scrolling page (as opposed to LinkedIn that only shows you a few of your jobs per page

  • Boolean filters- easily customizable boolean filters

  • Saved searches and a daily digest of your saved searches to your inbox

  • No promoted jobs like LinkedIn, no recruiter is posting jobs here, no shitty companies like Agoda spamming the board with Bangkok jobs listed in the wrong city.

Overall my job hunting process is much more streamlined. I created a few saved searches based on boolean filters and filtering out lengthy applications like Workday, then saved a bunch of jobs and hid the ones I don't like. The time savings is substantial and really fast and easy because of how streamlined the site is and also because of the lack of recruiter posted spam jobs and irrelevant 'promoted' jobs.

I was able to search for and apply for around 25 jobs in the time it takes me to find and apply for 10 on LinkedIn.

Thank you so much! I'm looking for a job rn and this looks super helpful :3

I think this is a + use case for AI. It's in the "Not like that" realm of use cases

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago

This site is amazing

I've had to enter applications into Workday for my last two jobs - but that was also applying for things through my network so not just blindly applying.

Wouldn't removing companies that use Workday for hiring reduce a huge chunk of positions people might be interested in?

Or is that hiring really at such a bad state right now that it's not worth someone's time to apply anywhere that uses Workday?

[-] shifty@leminal.space 11 points 1 week ago

Yes, hiring is really at such a bad state right now that it's not worth my time filling out another application through Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, ADP, eightfoldAI, OracleCloud, SuccessFactors, ADP, those stupid slow application chatbots that ask you one question at a time while and make you wait an excruciating amount of time while it loads the next questions (seriously who thought that making an application form into a chat bot questionnaire was a good idea, that PM should fired and blacklisted), and all the horrible ATS I have yet to encounter.

  • Why waste my time when I can apply for more jobs without the headache?
  • Workday is currently under investigation for AI bias.
  • I've applied to 1000+ jobs globally over the last year and haven't had a single interview through a company that uses a shitty ATS.
  • I wouldn't want to work for a company that uses Workday, etc and disrespects its prospective employees.
  • Companies that use applicant friendly ATS like BambooHR, Ashby, Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, BreezyHR, LinkedIn Easy Apply, are more likely to value my skillset, are the ones actually interviewing me, and I would rather work for those companies too.

There's an entire subreddit dedicated to how shitty the job search is right now, a lot of gems like this to commiserate in our trauma bonds.

is that hiring really at such a bad state right now

Yes, people are losing their houses, cars. I had to move back in with my retired parents. Tons of long term unemployment. Job posts get 100+ applicants in the first day and thousands of applicants in the first week.

They’re Skipping Car Payments; That’s The Final Warning Sign

Trump tarriffs, Muskrat DOGE layoffs, several years of tech layoffs and LLM induced layoffs. Its rough out there.

I'd say language processing is the perfect application for an LLM. Also, it seems unreasonable to have people manually review and summarize this many job listings.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 1 week ago

It’s a coercive venture to be dependent on a fascist corporation.

Employers know they are the monopsonists of these listings, so they will use ChatGPT back to annul these hallucinogenic results.

What should be occuring is the exact opposite of fascist compliance here. But I am not sure /c/YSK is ready for emancipatory discussions.

[-] three@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

Can it, weeb. I just want a job.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

YSK, your reply is the equivalent of:

I want a fascist to kill me after my scam is done

[-] xor 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

YSK, your reply is the equivalent of: cutting your nose to spite your face

Being a dick to people who otherwise might actually be amenable to your point of view actively works against your goals

Look at that - I know big boy words too

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
[-] xor 2 points 1 week ago

Sure, but you absolutely were being condescending and obfuscating - my point was valid regardless of who "started it"

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago

That seems like projection, because my intent was to reveal hiring.cafe’s scam: the opposite of condescension and obfuscation.

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

Nice. Bookmarked for future reference in case.

[-] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

This is amazing, I'm not actively looking but this makes it look so much better that I might actually consider mobilization. I've also shown it to some friends looking and they love it.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I started using it today after reading this post. I'm liking it so far.
