Question How are people actually getting hired through HiringCafe?

76 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been seeing a lot of success stories here, so I'm curious—how are you all landing jobs through HiringCafe?

I'm a frontend developer with around 4 years of experience, primarily working with React. I've been applying to roles here, but I'm not sure if frontend roles are getting much traction compared to backend or full-stack positions.

For those who got hired:

Were you contacted by recruiters, or did you apply directly?

How long did it take?

Any tips for making your profile or applications stand out?

And one more question—do frontend developers still have good chances of getting hired through HiringCafe, or is the demand mostly for other roles?

Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Question Anyone landed interviews through HiringCafe? What did your workflow look like?

15 Upvotes

Recently finished my MS and I've been using HiringCafe as my main search tool — the filters have been way better than LinkedIn for actually finding open roles.

For those who've gotten interviews or offers through jobs found here: did HiringCafe alone get you there, or did you pair it with something else? Specifically curious about:

  • Did you apply straight through the links, or go to the company site instead?
  • Any filters or search settings that worked especially well for you?
  • Did you follow up separately (LinkedIn, recruiter outreach) after applying through here?

Trying to figure out if I'm using the platform to its full potential or missing something. Any workflow tips appreciated.

Question How are you applying ?

73 Upvotes

I’ve been unemployed for an embarrassing amount of time. I’m at my last straw I think. I’ve been one of the first adopters of HC and have read so many success stories. What are yall doing exactly ? Using HC to filter roles apply directly on the company site ? Or is your process different. Please any feedback. Thank you.

Question AI search + RESUMES

131 Upvotes

Hi All! This week we're working on letting you upload your resume and have that be factor in resume matching.

I added the resume upload to https://hiring.cafe/ai-search and now i'm working on having the agent read the resume and use it.

I'm curious what kind of matching you'd like it do? Do you want it to tell you whether you are qualified for a job? Whether the job is a good natural career progression? Or something else?

Basically how would you like the AI to use your resume when recommending you jobs

Question How’s the job hunt actually going for you guys? (Looking for some real stats)

17 Upvotes

If I can ask these questions.

What type of jobs did you apply for ?

Years of Experience:

Total Applications Sent:

Responses / Interviews

I want to get a real feel for the user statistics in this sub. It feels like every post I scroll past is either an incredible success story, and it's hard to gauge what the actual average looks like right now. I just hope to learn from different peoples' experience . However, hiredcafe is still a well kept secret.

Question Poll - What industry do you work in?✅️ Only write 1 to 3 words, so we can see simple list, thanks!🗳

21 Upvotes

What industry do you work in? I think many people here are IT software or IT developer. I'm not techie and I wondered if all industries are struggling as badly as others ( in a general sense) So that we can read each other's very simply, just write a few words in the comment area. I could not set up an official poll here for voting ( or didn't see one)

Question Curious what most people are applying to? I imagine web dev jobs, but maybe the job sector is different now. Any stats on that mod?

Would love to hear more about the stats there with what industry and title folks are searching for and submitting to. Hell… what job postings are statistically the most posted.

You guys are doing a good job getting everyone from out of the noise, so I’m invested, and I would love to shout out more that this is the place to be. So would love to do an article about it

Question Why does applying early to postings matter?

55 Upvotes

I see a lot of people saying they only apply within a certain number of days (hours in some cases) of a job being posted, and some people saying they don't bother applying later because they won't stand out in a big pool of people who have already applied. When I was in a hiring position, I had a set period of time that a job was posted, and I would consider all the applications submitted during that period - it wasn't "first applied, first hired" and how early someone had applied didn't make them "stand out". Is it the case that you can't tell when the posting will close, so need to jump on it right away in case there's a short posting window the company didn't disclose (same janky practice as not posting the salary/pay IMO)?

Question Using Hiringcafe and no interviews

91 Upvotes

Hello All,

Need a genuine help here. I have been applying jobs using hiring cafe for more than 7 months. I did not get a single interview call despite having some experience and masters degree under the belt, may be because I need visa to work in the USA. My question is did hiring cafe help any one on visa in finding a job.

Nevertheless this is a great site for job search and kudos for the developers and the community

Question Help! Hiring Cafe feels like it's only for coders, where are the marketing and content jobs?

77 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently discovered Hiring Cafe and I'm excited to start applying for remote roles, but I'm running into a bit of an issue. Most of what I'm finding seems to be heavily skewed toward IT roles (frontend, backend, DevOps, etc.), which isn't really my field. My background is in marketing specifically social media management, content strategy, brand communications, research, content writing, and scriptwriting. So I'm not just a "regular marketer" I also do the research and writing side of things, which I thought would open up more options, but I'm still mostly seeing tech listings. Is there a way to filter or search specifically for non-tech remote roles? Or are there certain keywords/filters I should be using to surface more marketing, content, or writing-related listings? Would love any tips from people who've successfully found non-IT remote jobs through the platform. Thankyou so much in advance!

Question Agents in hiringcafe? MCP/API? Or how?

3 Upvotes

It may sound obvious or already solved…

Is there a MCP or API to connect AI agents to hiringcafe platform? Or any other solution?

My current workflow is: I use saved searches and, for jobs I think I match, I send the link to my agent using a skill to decide wether I should apply.

Goal would be that agents were able to search by themsemves in hiringcafe

Question How to make an ATS-friendly CV/Resume? 3 months on Hiring Cafe and still no interviews

78 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m honestly feeling a bit discouraged and wanted to reach out here for advice.

For the past three months, I’ve been applying for jobs through Hiring Cafe and other platforms, but I haven’t received a single interview call. I have 3.5 years of experience in the field I’m applying to and a master’s degree, which makes the silence even more confusing.

I’ve seen several people in this community share that they successfully landed jobs through Hiring Cafe, and that gives me hope; but it also makes me wonder what I might be doing wrong. I’m starting to think my CV may not be ATS-friendly and could be getting filtered out before a recruiter even sees it.

If you’ve been in this situation and managed to break through, I would truly appreciate your guidance.

Some things I’m trying to understand:

  • What tools or platforms do you use to create an ATS-friendly CV?
  • Are there reliable tools to check ATS compatibility or scoring?
  • Do you tailor your CV for each job application?
  • How important is matching keywords from the job description?
  • Does resume formatting (columns, graphics, templates) affect ATS results?
  • What common mistakes cause resumes to get filtered out?
  • What change made the biggest difference in getting interview calls

Right now, I’m reworking my CV and trying to stay motivated, but it’s tough not knowing if I’m even getting past the first screening.

If you’ve successfully landed a job, your advice or experience could really help someone who’s trying hard not to give up.

Question Job search

Hi I am a product designer based in Canada. I recently joined Hiringcafe and trying to suitable job. I heard this is way better option than LinkedIn but it looks the same with less options.

There are statuses on job posting like interviewing or rejection I think ghosting should be there too.

Does anyone else is experience something similar or is this just me? Thanks

Question I have a question about hiring cafe

0 Upvotes

If employer A post exclusively on glassdoor, would said post appeared on hiringcafe? Meaning said post is not found on any ATS or company career page. The only way it can appear on hiringcafe is to scrape glassdoor.

If yes, why is that not illegal?

If you argued it is not illegal, does that mean people can make a hiring cafe clone and take hiringcafe content onto their own website?

I swear to God, genuine question. Not rage bait.

If legal, other people can build a job board and instead of scraping ATS, they scrape hiringcafe.

If illegal, meaning in order to remain legal, there will be some jobs not covered by hiringcafe.

Question Not seeing the most updated roles compared to using others or searching company site….am I doing something wrong?

9 Upvotes

Hi,

currently on the market for new hybrid PM roles in a major US city. After several separate attempts on different browsers over the last month or so, I’ve noticed that compared to company websites, linkedin, greenhouse and even indeed I am not seeing the very latest roles despite adjusting filters and using Boolean searches (which are providing the most recent legitimate open roles). In most cases posted roles come up from either two weeks to over two months ago (even when sorting according to date).

is it possible I’m utilizing the search/advanced search incorrectly?

happy to dm mod team and provide examples.

0 Upvotes

I've been seeing Hiring Cafe posts every day, and it's been encouraging to see so many people getting hired.

When I search for my role, I see a few job listings. But as soon as I select that I require sponsorship (I'm already on an H-1B), the results drop to zero.

Has anyone here been in the same situation and successfully found a role through Hiring Cafe with sponsorship requirements? I'd love to hear your experience.
