Nothing here yet.
Example annoyance 17: You applied for a job but are unable to move the saved job to the applied section. Should be able to move the status without the job board's permisson so you can manage situations where the job forces you to apply on their website unknown to the job board. Build job list manager as a part of login account, and consider other options to update.
Example annoyance 15: Comparison Compare up to four jobs at once by having a compare button. Like shopping with a comparison list. Select checkbox on job to compare, when two or more are checked, have another button appear on each job to compare selected jobs. Example annoyance 16: VPN Should work while on a VPN, it shouldn't matter where I am
Example annoyance 12: Corporate Greed How about a job board that doesn't charge job seeker fees? I thought it was obvious but apparently it's a business model. Companies pay, not job seekers Example annoyance 13: Better Job Submissions Some good data there. Sounds like they have a terrible job submission design as well. Form automation, postal codes, and reCAPTCHA. How about company vetting? Pre-screening example ads. Nesting ads with the same content so it doesn't flood the job board. Then have company sections, as noted in another comment
Example annoyance 11: I'm tired of recruiters sending me a message that I'm a good candidate but they haven't even read my profile on the website. What a colossal waste of time. We need a better ability for companies to find us. So far everything is based on the candidate trying to find a company. The opposite must also be available, the company finding you. This means we need to better tag our own needs in a candidate profile. Have a resume section but maybe just leave the resume to the company side, and put in what preferences is the company in this case offering? Range of hours? Contract position? Full time? Part time (with stated hours)? Wages? Bonuses(stipend for a new chair, signing bonus), Benefits(vacation, health benefits if USA, time off). Having basic preferences in the candidate profile should really narrow it down for companies, and avoid telephone-tag, email-tag, useless wastes of time. Also always with the option in the seach to ignore preferences for a broader search of candidates. Would love to hear from companies who use job boards what they do and use. Must be a nightmare if there's no filtering. Some test of competence? Rating websites?
Example annoyance 10: As a remote job board the notion of remote needs to be better defined. The internet is a non-geographic point but we live in different areas. Thus the notion of Remote Regions would just be people with similar skills anywhere on earth! Remote Completely, available worldwide based on job criteria Remote Bilingual, available worldwide but have an option for a mix of languages to open up the talent pool for almost native English speakers who have also local language knowledge like Spanish, German, and others etc Remote Regions, available in certain areas of the world, North America, Central America, South America, Asia, South Asia, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia and Oceania. Can pick more than one. Remote Local, available in a specific country or area of country Hybrid Remote, not fully remote and you have to be local to visit the company once or more a week Encourage Remote local jobs to be Remote Regions, as people nearby likely have trade agreements and speak similarly or know each others' languages. Opens up a whole issue with English but which English? You can have Canada/America, Canada/ America/ Mexico, Australia/New Zealand, Canada/ America/ UK/ Ireland/ Europe/ India/ Australia/ New Zealand etc, it can really be a mess! By moving up Remote local to Remote Regions it opens up a greater talent pool without having to decide. Job boards need to give companies a wider pool of candidate options that can fill the role just fine. Also will likely have closer banking intergration due to trade agreements. Also the options for a candidate don't have to be mutually exclusive and can overlap. Should help those who are bilingual and multilingual who may be being shut out of English only roles. Still thinking about this one, might just be easier to role this into Remote Bilingual with Regions as merely a sub-tag. But I don't want to limit people's options
Example annoyance 9: No data in post about wages or hours. Particularly for part-time roles. This needs to be either flagged as an incomplete post or rated lower than complete posts thus show up later than completed posts. Companies should be trying to filter candidates out that want to work for them. Let's not waste time holding back on deal-breaker information. An options list of deal-breakers would also help sort posts.
Example annoyance 7: Ads are too long and are not focused on filtering out candidates. Have an option to rate posts from shortest to longest. The shorter ones are more likely to get to the point and are not full of paragraphs of introductory filler. You want to post all that fluffy bits you can put it into the company section. This allows the company to focus on the job being asked for. And maybe they'll get to the point?
