Ladder

Hey all, This is a little project I've been working on recently, that will start connecting next week. Engineers can receive job options anonymously and startups can hire great talent that wouldn't traditionally be on the market. With V1. Companies are sent a short summary with no identifiable information and can request to connect.

Nice, @brackin! I like that you're using Typeform as the MVP (cc @Smutchings, @DOkuniev). This has similarities to Hire My Friend and Developer Agents. What's the inspiration for Ladder?

@backin looks awesome, playing w/ it now.

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan. They're definitely fixing problems in the same space. We want to let an unfulfilled engineer receive great job options discreetly and let companies hire for specific roles under the radar. The SV hiring culture is likely to get even more competitive after the anti-poaching suits of late. @kevinrose Thanks man, appreciate your feedback.

@brackin just seen this (I need to get on PH more). Awesome to see you using Typeform for the MVP. How are you finding it?

@Smutchings It's a great product, really easy to look at trends and plug in new interactive questions. @jongold I think the initial landing page might give that impression. Looking back the use-case is pretty different though as everything is vetted and there's no open marketplace. A lot of the people signing up are former founders, VP's at startups or developers later in their career. If the market is as big as it seems then there's ample space for multiple companies, with Hired being the big player right now.
