How is product management not categorized here? There are few PM roles available but it's one of the most sought after positions from my observations.

@rrhoover very true...it's also one of those odd sort of roles where depending on the startup could be quite technical or not so much at all...

@rrhoover @joelle_writes true dat. Also, design? Same here: thin line with some front end developers?

@rrhoover @joelle_writes @vanierrachel Thanks Rachel, I feel like there are better ways to search for designers out there already (e.g., Behance), but I might be wrong. I was focusing more on the office-type jobs.

@rrhoover @joelle_writes I do think about adding Product Managers. In fact, based on your suggestions, you can already add a job in this category, but I have to amend the menu links. I think this is one of the borderline cases, but the "management" part of the job description usually prevails. Do you agree?

@rrhoover @joelle_writes @vanierrachel @zhernovoi imho behance and dribble have not locked up market on jobs for designers.

This is a pleasant surprise - 90% of the job boards focus on just tech jobs so this is good. How are you acquiring new jobs?

@kar2905 Thank you, Kartik! Exactly, I am non-technical myself, and I know there are people out there like me, and who are keen to join a startup, so I hope it will be useful for both sides of the table. New jobs are added manually. I initially populated it from the HN Who is hiring thread for March 2015 - combed through the websites of the companies who advertised in the thread. For now, it's just employers coming from HN and Product Hunt, but I plan to directly approach startups afterwards for new job posts - hard to scale, but I will do my best to manage it. Any suggestions?

@zhernovoi Ah interesting. Do you plan to monetize at any point? btw I run @springroleinc - Just wrote an article on our growth on Medium - https://medium.com/p/springrole-...

@springroleinc @kar2905 Your growth looks incredible, congratulations! As for monetizing, there are several ideas, but I want to see some traction first and chat with a few companies to learn about how they recruit non-techies.

@springroleinc @zhernovoi Thank you. Yes, that makes sense

Nicely done. A great touch would be adding 'remote' as a criteria? For example, someone can filter down quicker knowing whether or not they need to re-locate/travel daily based on the role.

@noinput Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, we have a "Remote" location in the location-selector, but you're right, it's not prominently displayed and isn't in the main filters.

When I first land I kind of want to see the talent so i feel good about who is available. I get showing the other companies who have posted (also social proof) but if you're going to do that make their logos more legible.

@jalter Thank you for the feedback, Jessica! We are not currently collecting CVs, but this is in our features pipeline. I will look into increasing the size of logos to make them more easy to read.

@jalter @zhernovoi Capturing CV's and showing them introduces a completely new element. The best candidates usually don't want their info publicized. Authentic Jobs is doing a good job of this (http://authenticpros.com/), but it's a relatively new product. Congrats @zhernovoi. This is neat. Reminds me of @christinacaci's http://join-startups.com/.

Cool idea! I just posted a job. UPDATE: It definitely has some bugs. I set the location as California, and it changed itself to Canada. Currently trying to figure out how to fix it.

@jimmydouglas I'll help you out for now and try to figure out where the bug is. Thanks for the feedback! EDIT: I see you've already changed it. Sorry about that!

@zhernovoi Thanks! I actually noticed it happen when I was originally posting and reviewing the job. I went back and changed it, but somehow it still ended up that way after I published. Glad it's correct now!

Another piece of feedback. After posting the job, I received an email with my username and password. Unfortunately that email also included a link to your /wp-admin, which I was able to log in to. If I were completely non-technical and didn't know any better, this would confuse the heck out of me - as it's not the same thing as logging into your site as an end-user.

@jimmydouglas I agree it's confusing to not receive further instruction in the email on how to actually add a job after registering. Thank you, I will edit the vanilla wordpress email templates to be far more user-friendly.
