I built acclaimed.dev after getting frustrated with traditional job boards. The problem is that when you search for SWE jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed, you get buried under thousands of low-quality listings from recruitment agencies and smaller companies. The jobs at Google, Stripe, Spotify, etc. are often there, but they're impossible to find consistently and you're left wondering if you may have missed a great opportunity.
What it does:
We scrape job postings directly from career pages of ~100+ highly sought-after tech companies with updates daily so you don't miss new openings. No recruiter spam, no paid promotions, just actual jobs at companies engineers want to work at. Filter by location, workplace type (remote/hybrid/onsite), experience level, tech stack, and more advanced filters.
Why we built it:
The "brute force" approach of manually checking hundreds of company career pages every day takes 8+ hours. Job boards solve this but pollute results with noise. I wanted something in between - comprehensive coverage of top companies, zero noise. This frees up more time for job seekers to prepare for their technical coding interviews which was a massive concern for me as I was spending hours job searching rather than getting ready for my coding interviews.
Business model:
Charging businesses to post jobs is what has created the incentives that have caused the mass of low quality listings on traditional sites. To maintain a database of exclusively jobs at the most sought after top tech companies we charge a one-time payment for 1 week ($8), 1 month ($24), or 3 months ($48) of access. No subscription. Your search preferences and data aren't shared with anyone.
Current state:
Live with thousands of active jobs. Just launched, so I'm actively adding more companies to the catalog and would love feedback on which companies to prioritise or new features to add/improvements to make. I would love to hear what you think - especially if the core premise resonates or if I'm missing something obvious.
