Hi HN,

I kept seeing the same pattern:

Smart people sending dozens of applications. No replies. Not because they’re unqualified — but because inboxes are saturated.

It made me think: employment works because it creates structure.

Clear role. Clear term. Clear deliverables. Clear consequences.

Entrepreneurs and builders rarely give themselves that structure.

So I built hired.wtf.

Instead of applying to companies, you send your CV to yourself. The app interviews you and generates a fixed-term employment contract between “Employer You” and “Employee You.”

It includes: • Role title • Term (30/60/90 days) • Deliverables & KPIs • Performance review schedule • Termination clause

The idea is simple: Turn vague goals into binding commitments.

It’s not a productivity tracker. It’s a psychological contract engine.

I’m curious: • Does formal structure actually change behavior? • Would you use something like this? • What would make it genuinely useful vs gimmicky?

Would love your feedback.

Maybe the title is a bit misleading because "instead of applying for jobs" implies to me at least that it's a job-finding site.

Today I learned that wtf is a top-level domain. Apparently ICANN approved it against the wishes of the Saudi Arabian government [0].

Well, that’s interesting.

Maybe somebody will use it, self reflect, and make positive changes.

If that happens, I hope they later let OP know. That would be cool to hear about.
