I don't think so - I think they are leaving the market because their differentiation isn't enough in the marketplace to actually sell it enough to be interesting.

love running into old friends on HN, so some very stale info from someone who hasn’t worked at SO in many years: while the job board was differentiated and nice from the programmers side, it’s really difficult to convince recruiters to use a new system with new rules. most (not all ofc) just want to spray and pray.

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.
