How do you enforce that the companies are being honest?
Also the filters seems to OR each other so the more I pick the more results I get. I think most people expect filters to be AND.
2. A lot of people don't trust employers, but in reality, hiring managers aren't trying to mislead people. Especially at small startups. It's extremely expensive (and heart-breaking!) to interview, hire, and onboard devs only to have them leave soon after. It's a competitive market and software engineers have their pick of the litter, so companies want to attract the right candidates, the ones who are truly aligned w/ their values and will stick around for the long haul.
3. Trust me, I don't want to use OR logic either! Once there are enough companies on Key Values for AND logic to provide a good user experience, I'll switch. For now, the results are sorted by number of matches and how highly companies rank those matches.
And maybe the match number could be instead of just a single number, a text like "X exact matches, 7 partial matches"?
Persnoally, getting both an AND count, and an OR count, and this combined AND + OR match list, seems nice. I'd probably be interested in an OR match company, if it matched say 5 out of 7 criteria.
Is that not a chicken and egg thing tho? With your visibility, encouraging the values you want to see can be a good thing?
I run an event listing site, and years ago I added a totally optional "Code of Conduct" field. I know that prompted at least one local group to officially add one!
Also, if you do, make it so companies can select both full time and part time. We just closed an job advert where we would accept both, and the number of places that only let me pick one was frustrating.
That’s sad to hear. I’m currently working part time (I value my free time much more than the money I would make) and it took quite a bit of effort to find a place.
I will be looking to go from full time to part time in s couple of years.
Perhaps use a soft floor? I.e. a little header "matched one value" at the right point in results. If people want to scroll past that they can, if not they'll know where to stop. You could also exclude them from the result count. In which case it would say "We also found these companies which matched one of your values".
just because a test is giving you a result of doubling down on a particular feature, it doesn't mean you should.
now of course, if you just need the clicks so that you sell to the greater fool, by all means boost that engagement sister!
