Simply Hired (http://www.simplyhired.com)

Are you having a hard time finding a job? Have ideas for how to make job search better? That is exactly the problem that Simply Hired is trying to solve.

We are looking for outstanding PMs and ninja developers to take our product to the next level.

If you like In-N-Out, they are located 2 minutes away. And to work off that animal-style cheeseburger and vanilla shake, we offer subsidized gym memberships to an amazing gym (2 minutes away--but in the other direction from In-N-Out).

Take a look at current openings: http://jobvite.com/m?3isAWfw0

We also hire beyond our official list of openings. Tweet us a haiku (@simplyhired) for why you want to work for Simply Hired if there isn't an official opening, but you would love to apply.

I would not pay because the content on HN isn't so specialized that I cannot find the community elsewhere. Furthermore, trolls are easily identified and ignored, like SPAM.

However if there were a subscription, I think you need to think about the value of this community. Charging just posters would unleash a backlash by the most active members of this community. Their thought would be, "why would I PAY to participate in a community when everyone else can obtain the value of my knowledge for FREE?" Using the email analogy again, if everyone who wanted to email me had to pay $5/year, I would probably receive no spam, but more importantly no emails at all -- not even from my mother who would just use a cheaper substitute (phone).

Hey Mystalic - Thanks for the compliment. It's great to see people using CoNotes.

To everyone else, I am the founder of CoNotes, which is another resource available for startup positions. Currently there are over 500 companies and 200 openings available. I'd love to hear people's thoughts.

Thanks.
