Turns out that developers really appreciate a no-bullshit approach with: - mandatory salary brackets
- full tech stack and easy filtering
- our own dev maturity test (what tests do they write, do they have dedicated QAs, etc)
It enables us to quickly grow to over 60'000 monthly visitors (combined) and the companies are also more than happy to advertise.

While a small group of users liked it, it clearly did not have traction in the greater community.
as a job seeker being told “you’re gonna have the upper hand here” is amazing, as a recruiter it makes it very difficult to sell to unless you really own the market.
