A Jobs category?

Continuing the discussion from People looking for jobs:

Letā€™s see how it could work:

  1. A sub-category to #talk (would appear at #talk:jobs)
  2. Clear rules of posting:
    1. ā€œJob Wantedā€ are indicated with a #wanted tag
    2. ā€œJob Offeredā€ are indicated with an #offered tag
    3. Offered jobs must mention the company, job location (or remote), contract type (durationā€¦), salary, benefitsā€¦
    4. OP is responsible for the topic: if a job is taken, the topic should be closed; only one topic per job; no bumps.
    5. No recruiters, only employers-employees
    6. Jobs offers missing information should be flagged (e.g., not indicating salary)
    7. Topics should use a clear template to define collectively so as to be generic enough but not too constraining (e.g., mentioning required information in order)
    8. Topics should automatically close without an answer within N days (e.g., 60)
    9. Only jobs within the librehosters network, no third-party.

What do you think?

Seems like a lot of rulesā€¦ on the CoTech forum we donā€™t really have any formal rules for the jobs board and it seems to work OK, however Iā€™m not sure that anyone has got a job or employed anyone as a result of itā€¦

Any other comments? I donā€™t feel comfortable proceeding with the creation of a Jobs category at this point since nobody seems to be interested enough. I guess we can stay with the original topic for now.

AFAIK: Aptivate chased up a few and had interviews.

Yep, fair enough. Perhaps not applicable for the group right now ā€¦
