Looking 2 Work

@rrhoover @colinwinhall @nightbirds777 One possible way might be to offer as much information that triangulates/proxies a strong candidate while removing all overt identifying information (network endorsements, significant project achievements/contributions, etc.), and then normalize that across all candidates available on the platform so it's easy to scan, consume and quantify for employers. Enough for a potential employer to want to contact you, but waaaayyyy too much detective work for a current employer to figure out if it's actually you or not. Honestly, that might be a better way all around as to eliminate bias from race, gender, etc.. There's a reason most HR dept.'s don't want to see a picture on a resume. Additionally, contextual to this specific situation might be to outright list the answer to the question "Why do you want to leave your current job". It's the elephant in the room, but also could be a strong signal as to whether or not you're the right person to fill the new position.

@rrhoover here is the idea about reverse job search: create an anonymous resume/profile of the person and be detailed about what type of the job are they looking for. I know that publishing your resume has an effect of a long tail of recruiters pitching you not relevant jobs. Hired is nice but seems like working only for developers in CA :) A successful reverse job search would review candidates and help them to get their profile in shape (its ok to charge money for it) + get candid valuable feedback from hiring managers about denials (anonymously it would be awesome). So candidate and the company can open themselves to each other after the interview confirmation. And still, information about what could be better on the interview is a valuable piece of a successful platform which would level up the industry culture.

@colinwinhall Sure thing, will be waiting for your email!
