Like!

We need a way for GOOD employers, the ones who grok hacking, to poach us out of the corporate jobs.

We all got what it takes to hunt up a job, but if employers can find me with other HNers, all the better!

Strange how employers have to dig through HN profiles or LinkedIn accounts to find the good ones -- and many of us just don't WANT any offers at all.

I wish I could say "Job's not so awful I gotta move, but I want to hack for real, please, and not just on my GitHub at night."

I have that feeling too... I kindof want to look but don't want to do the whole song and dance.

Thanks! We called "that feeling" the "Itch," and built our site around it -- http://FiveYearItch.com.

Song-and-dance definitely not required.

Hey! I actually had a try on your site few months ago and it didn't pan out for me. I must not have an attractive enough skillset for the businesses browsing.

Just signed up, very pleasant site design/approach, curious to see how it will work out.
