Hi all 👋 About six months ago we launched BetaList Jobs: here on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/post... The idea was simple: what if you could browse job openings of every startup all in one place? Since we launched we made a ton of improvements based on your feedback and today we're launching a completely new feature called Job Collections. Sa you're a developer and looking for a job on the west coasts: where do you start? It's not just about finding a job that requires your skills and is in an accessible location, but it's also crucial to work at a startup you actually believe. A product or mission you care about. That's where Job Collections comes in. We're collecting job posts around different topics. Examples include Music Startups ( https://betalist.com/jobs/collec... ) if you're really into music and want to work in a company like Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. Or maybe you're big on Blockchain, and want to dive deeper into it? We have a collection ( https://betalist.com/jobs/collec... ) for that as well. We also teamed up with Breakout List ( https://www.producthunt.com/post... ) to show you jobs at the most promising startups ( https://betalist.com/jobs/collec... ). Startups with what @sama calls a breakout trajectory. If you're in for a wild ride, those might be particularly interesting for you. I'm curious to hear your feedback and any suggestions for other collections you'd like to see. We plan on adding new ones weekly 👍

Some of the other changes we've made since our 1.0 launch include: - Search is now blazingly fast (thanks to Algolia) - The homepage is considerably quicker and user friendly - Expired job listings are automatically hidden - Job listings are marked as visited once you've seen them - Redesigned company profiles with built-in search and filters - Over 30,000 open job listings available

Great design Marc! Really like it 😊
Ekaterina Klink
Looks nice! Where do you source job openings from? How's it different from other websites who aggregate startup job openings?
Marc Köhlbrugge
@ekaterinaklink We source the job openings from the startup career pages. This way we can make sure we get all their job listings, and our information is always up-to-date. We're also different in terms of the volume of job listings we have (30,000+ open vacancies right now), we're exclusively focused on startups (versus e.g. Indeed.com), and I'd like to believe we provide one of the best user experiences.

This is awesome! I love betalist and this is a great addition. It's also the first time ever I'm slightly disappointed that I'm employed

@jan_danckers You can always quit your job. 👍 /s
Antonio Bologna
Nice job 😄 quick question: How do you monetize on posting jobs from other sources?
Marc Köhlbrugge
@antonio_bologna Although we're continuously expanding the places we source the job listings from we can't automatically include each and every startup yet. Startups can cover our expenses to be manually added by us, which also gives them more control over how the job listing is displayed and extra visibility. Long term I'd hope to automatically include every startup job free of charge and provide optional packages for additional publicity.
Andrey Azimov
Nice Marc! Cool that you have options to not only remote / not remote jobs!
Marc Köhlbrugge
@andreyazimov Thanks Andrey. Yeah filtering on remote / not-remote is important, but it's not enough. We'll be adding even more ways to filter and search in the future.

Keep up the good 'job' Marc :D
Sergii Dumyk
The world is moving in the proper direction. Thank you for making it better Marc!
Tom Charde
Just a heads up: More than 75% of the job openings I clicked on no longer exist. You may want to look into your purging procedures.
Marc Köhlbrugge
@tomcharde Hi Tom, when was the last time you checked? We recently (about a week before this PH listing) revamped the purging procedures to automatically remove expired job openings within a day. When and where did you find the expired job listings? I'll have a look. Thanks in advance!
Tom Charde
@marckohlbrugge Found them minutes before I posted that comment. Looks like everything has been corrected now.
