Show HN: HN Match Maker – Matching "Who Wants to Be Hired?" With "Who's Hiring?"

https://hnmatchmaker.com/
10•all2•1h ago
Hi!

Every month the "Who Wants to Be Hired?" and "Who's Hiring?" Threads come through I would think to myself, "there should be a match maker for these two threads".

So I had abacus.ai whip one up. The methodology is pretty simple, data is extracted from posts using an LLM, score matches based on salary, domain experience, remote/onsite, etc., and then eliminate incompatible postings, like 'looking for remote work' and 'onsite only'. The result is two views: jobs-by-user and user-by-jobs.

If you've submitted a post to this month's 'Who Wants to Be Hired?", you can find your matching job listings at https://hnmatchmaker.com/user/:user_name, for example https://hnmatchmaker.com/user/G4Vi

---

Some observations when looking at the matches pair up right now:

Poke around, let me know what you think!

Ultimately, I hope this is actually helpful to some folks.

this is cool! incidentally we do a similar motion internally for members on https://www.hedgy.works

how did you think about evaluating quality when designing your ranker / fit scoring?

I'm sure you mean well but as someone who has considered posting on who wants to be hired in the past.... this is creepy AF and feels like a giant invasion of privacy. If you did it privately, or authenticated people in some way, sure, but as is it feels like you're putting people on blast.

Also this sounds way more like an advertisement for "abacus.ai" than a side project announcement.

Your post also starts a list of "things" ("Some observations when looking at the matches pair up right now:") with no list.

Actually, nothing about this really feels good faith, or real.
