Hey

Great initative, create a <#1434178802723852348> for yourself, this is the FAQ section, I'll delete this post soon

As attached in the image I am unable to apply for the jobs as for some reason I can't click the submit application button.

<@1433955599883964530> I'm having the same issue as <@297063164951003136> when applying since yesterday! Can you tell us what is going on please?

Hey, there's a 100 char min on the cover letter, could that be?

Follow up question, are we supposed to get an email as a confirmation for the application? If not how are we supposed to track it?

I tried writing one letter in the cover letter even then it wasn't going through will try again today

What is the correct way to apply for these jobs? Should I be posting a comment on the Reddit thread, or is there another step I'm missing?

Hey @|Mert| — the Discord is mainly for community support and easier filtering of job ads with tags. I also prefer Discord’s notification system over Reddit’s. But when it comes to applying, that should still be done directly on Reddit, currently as a comment (Improvements are on their way 🏃) We're in DM's with the employers to make sure they're aware of our post and to check all of the comments 🫡

Hey, we temporarily turned off commenting in <#1433871101431382138> , I understand this caused some confusion on where one should comment to apply to a job.

I have some assumptions on why this might be. Not trying to be accusatory or anything. Just curious.

good idea

First, you can check out our wiki here for a bit more background: 👉 https://www.reddit.com/r/DevJobLeadsOnReddit/wiki/aboutthissub/ We’re also working on a way to collect real feedback from people who’ve applied through posts here. I know how frustrating it is when companies don’t even reply — it’s something I’d really like to improve. We don’t put ourselves between the job and the applicant (otherwise people might assume we’re taking a cut or charging fees), so I don’t have direct stats on hires. But next time I hear from someone who landed a job through the subreddit, I’ll ask if they’d like to share a short testimonial. In the meantime, I’ll start adding the OP’s link to job ads for a limited time — that should make it a bit easier to follow up and see how things go.

But to add here, I can see that the number of possible scams is incredibly high (e.g. the 85 per hour / no experience needed posts) and at the same time these are the most popular posts, for some reason tens / hundreds of people apply to them, which makes Reddit push that post even more. We're actively looking for mods, but it's proven to be quite a challenge to find someone that just doesn't want to approve their own posts 😄

Oh wow thanks. I shoulda checked the subreddit sidebar. Was assuming you were posting on behalf of companies since I've seen some companies here do so but doesn't seem to be so.

Great initiative. Will be applying once i polish up our portfolio

Some of them might be from some companies, but that's not the general approach yeah. I'm glad and hope this will help you land some good gigs 🤝

yes i see some scammers here, also anyone can create multiple accounts and create fake profile to be seen as a hiring trustworty person

how you got so many posts in no time? are you web scraping offers? because i have already applied to a lot of them in other subreddits

i mean why create another subreddit and discord that will be full of scam? if you dont eradicate scam it will never be worth

i mean there is thousands of false jobs and scammers that will be reaching here in no time

because they are in all discords and subreddits

i know because i already tried to apply everywhere

i have a very wide range of skills so can match to lot of offers, thats why i know lol

so if you will not ban scam or suspicius behaviours, and will not add phone and some other sort of verification at least, i suggest to close everything sadly

Yes, we have some plans trying to reduce the number of scams that get through. But I think there will always be some risk in Reddit, one has to be careful no matter how hard we try

Thank you for all the suggestions 🙏

Method 1 is scraping offers for the highest volume, which ultimately is the riskier of the two methods since you're not going to be able to vet everything Method 2 is a submission service for contracts, where a client who wants to even get their job offer submitted and looked at needs to answer questions that scammers will not be capable of answering (because they won't HAVE the infrastructure of a legitimate operation). This then leads into a manual review so the job can be published as a "certified offer" of some sorts.

1. They keep refusing to answer questions and reveal themselves as a scam (even if the offer would earn you money, it's likely an illegal or underhanded operation -- and you are signing on as a scapegoat) 2. They give you unverifiable information (basically reveals themselves as a scam -- low-quality placeholder looking websites, using photos that can be reverse image searched and prove that's not the person you're talking to, invalid mailing addresses, people that are supposedly part of the operation but that you can never contact, inconsistent information across multiple parties, etc) 3. They give you accurate information and reveal that the operation is far from legitimate.

Having that vetting service as part of the community is definitely a good argument as to why people should use this community instead of others

Can u answer pls

Yes, once we have 100 for <#1434178802723852348> I think we'll have some traction in the Server here and I'll start promoting this to the employers. We'll have the Reddit job ads notifications, but also original job posts posted right here. That's why the <#1434178802723852348> are nice, you can just send the link to the employer and they can take a look (no need to write long comments under every post)
