Use case
A job seeker, during an active search, uses HN "Who is hiring?" posts and their own resume as input to pick the few posts worth applying to.
Job seekers typically scroll threads manually, use keyword search, or keep a spreadsheet, comparing each post to the resume by hand.
Hiring posts are scattered and inconsistently formatted, so reading each one to judge fit is slow and suitable roles get missed.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
Trend: hiring posts are scattered across community threads, and ranking them against one's own resume flips job hunting from searching to being matched. Entry: start with hiring threads of a specific professional community (e.g. remote developers, designers) and sell the filtered result rather than tool seats; no disclosed price, so none is assumed.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: versus manual scrolling, it scores and ranks posts against the resume, removing the step of reading and pre-screening each one, so seekers facing many posts during an active search would try it first.
