Ask HN: How to make job search better for both the applicant and the advertiser?

I will give you a couple recommendations:

- Filter out "CyberCoders", "Robert Half", etc recruiting firms. These make it hard to view jobs especially when I get shown descriptions lifted from my own company's postings.

- Some alerting mechanism that doesn't just spam me every day. For instance, I would like to look through new postings with descriptions that match certain keywords. Any existing site today just spams me with anything containing "software" or "computer" in the description.

Thanks yellow_lead. Both very valid points. #2 is almost a basic necessity but yes you are right that many website don't do it properly. Probably they measure the number of emails sent and try to optimise that.
