Show HN: PoachMe.dev, Reclaim Your Time A couple of months ago, I posted about my stealth startup on HN and got a lot of friendly help and signups so I'm officially launching today to a wider audience. All of the features highlighted here are "FREE" (we just take a cut from your scheduled recruiter calls) PoachMe.dev is your one stop shop to being paid for the time you spend with recruiters on finding a job. From the hiring manager, to the recruiter, to the HR team cutting you an offer letter, every single person in the chain is getting paid while a candidate gets to pretend their money and time and resources aren't dwindled every time they take an interview so this turns it back on it's head. Have you ever received a random message asking for a random technology you don't have while also claiming "you're a perfect fit"? Send them a pre-composed "reply template message" from PoachMe ("Great. Please book a slot on my calendar and we can chat more about this. You'll receive my resume upon confirmation of the booking. https://ift.tt/VaXQGKB ") so they can schedule and pay for your time. You will be surprised how many great recruiters will blatantly tell you that you are not worth your time as soon as they're asked to pony up even $100/hr while making an easy 10k for placing you at a company. If your skills have value, you can cut through the recruiter chaff and get to the recruiters who are actually easy to work with in one easy step. After we built this core feature, we've branched out to creating a career snapshot (https://ift.tt/RWXsAaL) which allows you to showcase your skills in one single screen without it being a resume and have started work on a virtual business card you can update and flash unto NFC cards so you have a digital business card you can carry around with you ( https://ift.tt/VM9zlmT ) Sign up today using the following limited signup code ( https://ift.tt/rUbcp0e ). Although I am sure I am able to scale this startup to any size, limiting signups is a super easy way to not get HN-hugged-to-death. https://ift.tt/BkRrfhJ March 28, 2023 at 02:15PM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
