Re:Technical recruiting platform Triplebyte opens for busine... by ryandrake on Tuesday July 18, 2017 @10:02PM (#14801613)
There is so much opportunity in the tech recruiting/jobhunting industry. So many pain points for applicants (and likely for companies as well). Job postings are mostly a joke. Recruiters, while well-meaning, often seem like they are taking shots in the dark. Networking is only workable to the few with contact lists stuffed full of hiring managers. It feels like a totally dysfunctional dating pool full of people complaining they can't find partners. Judging by the number of "hiring is broken" discussions that pop up here from time to time, it seems that everyone agrees that the area is overripe for massive disruption.

These guys seem to be at least a step in the right direction, kind of a "buyers agent" for candidates. Too bad they only work with programmers at this point. Wonder if they have plans to expand into other technical (but not programming) roles like engineering managers and project managers. I'd +1 them going in that direction.
