| Feb 10, 2022 at 18:46 | comment | added | CanCode | @PuneetMulchandani SO jobs is way better than other platforms(and it has the most related jobs unlike other job board websites), removing it definitely will hurt most of ours future job search. Removing useful features will only hurt engagement further. Great advice from Eve that you can basically ask your users here about how to improve these features instead of killing it. No business knows better than their users. My $0.02 | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 3:26 | comment | added | Eve | @PuneetMulchandani if possible post a link to a relevant chat about this topic (if there is such 1), as probably comments here don't allow for extended discussions on it. Users perceive Jobs not as a "product" as you call it but instead as a service, if possible even with "continuous delivery" / and improvement / at their end, not something done once, therefore ready, delivered, then dead. I wonder if you couldn't just use the platform to ask users about how to improve this "product" (many could recognize the best Jobs offers service aspects when they see it) or marketing experts here, too | |

Keep removing features and switch the focus from the users/helpful content, to more commercial stuff. But, good luck in the chosen direction, it will be fun to watch how bad decisions destroy good stuff. In this way, you will see a different kind of sunset. | |
| Jan 25, 2022 at 19:19 | comment | added | Puneet Mulchandani | I'm glad to hear that you found the quality of listings higher on SO Jobs, this was one of the key principles we followed when making product decisions. Unfortunately, traffic alone wasn't enough of a differentiator in the recruitment tech space and we were lagging behind other competing products when it came to candidate engagement. If you're interested, check out the related comment I made on this post. | |
