I sympathise with them though—as an outreach org you really don’t want to make public judgments like “infiltrate these guys please; they don’t do anything good directly!!”. And I’m hesitant to screw with the job board too much, cos they’re doing something right: the candidates I got through them are a completely different population from Forumites.
Adding top recommendations is a good compromise.
I guess a “report job ” [as dodgy] button would work for your remaining pain point, but this still looks pretty bad to outsiders.
Overall: previous state strikes me as a sad compromise rather than culpable deception. But you still made them move to a slightly less sad compromise, so hooray.
Ah and regarding “infiltrate these guys please”—I am not voicing an opinion on this making sense or not (it might) - but I am saying that if you want person X to infiltrate an org and do something there—at least TELL person X about this.
Nice work, glad to see it’s improving things.

wdyt?
Yeah maybe they could leave this stuff to their coaching calls
Thanks,
How about the solution/tradeoff of having a link saying “discuss this job here”?
on the 80k site? seems like a moderation headache
I’d run the discussion in the forum by default
ah, cool
So.. would you endorse this? [I’m inviting pushback if you have it]
got none
