We’ve written in the past how legacy hiring is broken, and you can hire better, faster, and easier with Gitcoin because:
In the short time since our launch, we’ve seen 11 people find full time work in the space after doing Gitcoin bounties! (Well, 11 people that we know of — I’m sure the number is higher but we don’t have a great way of knowing.) We’re proud of our results, and are happy today to announce that hiring with Gitcoin has gotten better.
Beginning today, the new funder form will allow you to input a job description for a full time, part time, or contract role, on a bounty:
And after the bounty is posted, this information will also be available on the bounty details page:
You will also now be able to see via the Issue Explorer, which bounties have job descriptions on them:
We believe that knowing upfront whether a bounty funder is hiring will be extremely helpful for bounty huntersmaking an ROI calculation about whether they want to attempt the bounty or not.
