I like the anonymous aspect, and knowing what a company is willing to pay for a given position helps as a candidate, but I didn't see any advantages for the employers.<p>The problem for employers is getting quality candidates in for interviews. Recruiters can bring lots of candidates in, but often candidates aren't the right fit or high quality.<p>If you could find a way to vet quality candidates without commissions, you'd have an interesting product. This is the hard part, because usually the best people never have to really look for work. What remains?<p>- People out of work because they are not skilled or have outdated skills
- People who would like to switch jobs, but are doing something very specialized so there are limited opportunities
- Someone who may switch if given a tantalizing opportunity
So I'm a web developer. A few months ago I went through the job hunt process, and asked myself "What could be better about this?," and I came up with Hire Anonymously. (cool story; I know)<p>The basic idea is to help tech talent control their identity & ascertain critical job details like pay & location info before starting the interview process. So far basically just a signup to gauge interest.<p>Hoping to get feedback from the tech community on the concept, so I thought: "Why not Show HN?" (side note, I put this on Show HN and I'm pretty sure it's not appropriate as an email signup so I reposted).<p>Would really appreciate any thoughts you all have!
"All hiring managers and applicants on our platform are vetted by tech professionals..."<p>When the profiles are being vetted, have the already been vetted?
