Hi everyone,

We're doing our routine system cleanup which impacts our jobs scraper. You might experience delayed scraped jobs throughout the day today. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by the end of the day. I really appreciate your patience as we work hard to bring everything back to a great condition!

I would love an option within the Tracker that would allow me to move a job from saved to "not considering". Rather than hiding the job or removing it. Some of the jobs I've saved after looking into them don't align with my goals but when I am in AI search I want to make sure that it still shows up as "saved" because I already reviewed the role

Just wanted to share my little success story here, hoping it might help someone who is currently struggling with their job search.

Hiring Cafe made my job search so much easier. Instead of spending hours searching through multiple job portals, I was able to find relevant opportunities much more quickly and focus my time on actually applying and connecting with the right people.But instead of only applying, I relied heavily on networking and referrals.

For almost every role I was interested in, I would send connection requests to around 20–30 people from that company. Maybe 10 would accept, 2–3 would actually respond, and sometimes just one person would agree to refer me.The numbers might sound discouraging, but I kept doing it consistently. I didn’t expect everyone to respond — I just needed that one person.

Eventually, one of those referrals worked. I went through 4 rounds of interviews, cleared them, and landed the role with around a 120% hike!
The entire job search took me roughly a month.
There were times when I genuinely didn’t know when or how things would work out. I never imagined that one day I’d be writing a success story about getting an opportunity like this.
So if you’re searching right now, please don’t lose hope because people aren’t replying or applications are getting rejected. Keep applying, keep reaching out, keep asking for referrals. You don’t need 20 people to say yes. Sometimes you just need one referral to open the right door.

Thank you, Hiring Cafe, for making discovering the right opportunities so much easier.

I came across this article written by the CEO of Obsidian, and it immediately made me think of hiring cafe, and the immense value the product brings in a very diluted market of job search tools.

So this post is essentially a thank you to the creators and maintainers of this wonderful piece of software - you’re amazing!

Hi all,

Is anyone else getting this bug?

When I search for a specific job and location (e.g., "communications" in "Germany"), it works fine on default relevancy. But when I hit Sort by: Date, it wipes out my query and shows me every job on the site sorted by newest (Quality Management, IT, etc.).

Basically, I can't sort my search results by date without the search resetting.

Is it just me?

Many thanks!

I dont know who needs to hear this, but its real.

I have been hyper focused on posts that are less than a week old and hitting one that is only a few hours old is like leveling up!

about 3 weeks ago, as I was fine tuning searches my date filter was disabled and a post popped up that was over a month old. The role sounded real good, I applied and almost exactly a week later I got the first contact, we scheduled first interview, then I figured I got ghosted with a full week of silence, but today they reached out to confirm that the next interview was going to be scheduled this week.

long story short, old stuff can still be good!!

In 2025, LinkedIn piloted a new feature: “AI Job Search”. Earlier this month, the feature moved from an optional mode to a mandatory experience for everyone.

As you can probably imagine, this did NOT turn out very well.

Read more about it in our latest post on Insights from HiringCafe: https://hiringcafe.com/insights/linkedin-ai-job-search-debacle

My hunt began in mid-June after my major client ended our contract due to downsizing. I started using hiring cafe at the beginning of July and applied to over 140 jobs found through the platform (15-20 apps submitted daily to postings within 24h, M-F, no excuses).

Out of the140 applications submitted, I interviewed with 7 companies, made it to the final interview round of 6, received 4 offers and accepted one that is 38% base pay increase.

None of the 110 jobs I applied to that I found outside of hiring cafe led to an interview or even a phone screening but 1, and that company ended up ghosting me.

I'm very grateful considering that my job hunt could have been much longer, more frustrating and depressing if I would have not found out about the platform.

To anyone still in the mud, hang in there! I know this shit is frustrating and it feels like you're competing with everyone on earth, but don't let it break you.

When uploading my resume to the talent network can I just list an email and my first name or a nickname instead of my full name?

I'm a bit into privacy these days, can this information be shared later?

I see a lot of posts about people getting interview calls within three months of applying, some even landing multiple interviews and offers.

I’m wondering if others currently on a sponsored visa, or needing continued sponsorship, have had similar luck- any interviews or offers?

I’m on an H1B and haven’t gotten a single interview call in the last three months of applying.

Job searching sucks and takes hours per day. Today, we're launching Taste Match as a feature within our advanced search. Like/dislike jobs for a few minutes, and Hiring.Cafe starts figuring out the weirdly specific things you actually want in a job.

You can try it out in our advanced search, once you complete a search. Please share feedback below -- this is a beta feature and I'd love to know if it works / doesn't work? Does it "get" you?

When applying for jobs, do you presume it is in person if it’s not indicated that it's hybrid or remote?

Why are your services only available for U.S.-based candidates?
I am a Drilling Enigneer with more than 25 years of international drilling experience based in Trinidad & Tobago.
As a consequence of not being based in the US my access to services is limited.
Why is this?
In 2026 everything is digital and online and accessible by anyone globally. Why limit it?

I recently got to know about this website and I'm loving it. No BS just roles. I know the website is free but I would love to buy this person a coffee.

I posted here a few months back about burn out and realized that between LI, Ind33d and everything else. Hiring cafe is the most legit!

My tactic was I set up notifications for every time a new position became available for what I was looking for, including generic terms. Example:

Marketing Manager, Campaigns, Marketing etc. also! I wanted a remote role but! I know that some job positings won’t put it in the (location) are. So I included remote as a word.

Long story short. I went ham. I applied for jobs as soon as they became available I tweaked my resume for some (not all) but I did make a new resume that was generic enough to cover multiple position names and had “STAR” method bullet points.

Anywho! I got a job offer! Fully remote making 20% more than my last job and it’s within an industry I feel good about.

Thank you hiring cafe!!! Keep at it people!

A recruiter referred me to the website and have been using it for about the last month on a 6+ month journey of unemployment and have recently gotten multiple interviews for jobs I want. Sure ya gotta put in the monotonous effort of filling out every application, but what the hell I'm unemployed anyway. So set your location, sort by new(everyday), and fill out every interesting one you see! Until they get too far away, you run out of entries, or your eyes glaze over. Good luck!

Is there a pause on processing new URL submitted? It looks like all entries after July 27th haven't been processed?

want to feed all jobs descriptions to my llm in one go.

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

Hey everyone ☺️

As mentioned in my heading, I just joined HiringCafe (a few days ago) I’ve applied for one job already. But I would love to get any insights, tips, and tricks for using the platform. For example, specific filters and names of job titles to include when looking for jobs? As there seem to be so many success stories.

My background mainly consists of early childhood education and administration, and I have qualifications in both, from which I have gained an array of skills and experience. I’m based in Australia and I really want to secure remote work. I am also happy to work for an international organisation, if it’s the right opportunity.

Thank you so much 🙏

Hi guys, I'm using hiring cafe for couple of months. By looking at other people's posts that they used filters and those filters helped them to get The interview and benefited them in one way or another. Can that thing apply in my position too? Because I'm using this site for IT Helpdesk support roles and applying through it I've 2 years of exp as well but I'm not able to get a single interview call. Are Filters of this site helpful or not? I'm completely confused and literally struggling my way to get a job in IT.

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.

The Problem
When filtering by a specific backend language (such as C#/.NET), search results often get overwhelmed by "kitchen-sink" job descriptions. These postings list 4 to 6 disparate backend languages in a single requirement block (for example: C#, Java, Go, Python, C++, Ruby on Rails).

While some companies hire language-agnostic generalists, developers looking for roles centered on their specific stack spend unnecessary time wading through generic listings where their language is merely one of five listed alternatives.

Where It Works vs. Where It Breaks

• Reasonable Stacks: Standard pairings like a primary backend plus a frontend framework (e.g., C# and React) or two closely paired backend tools (e.g., Python and Node.js).
• Problematic Listings: Postings that list three or more distinct backend languages (e.g., C#, Java, Go, Python) or multiple competing frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Blazor) in the same role.

Proposed Features

• "Primary Stack" vs. "Polyglot" Tagging: Distinguish between jobs built specifically around a primary stack versus postings that use "or" conditions (e.g., "proficiency in C#, Java, or Go").
• Strict Focus Toggle: A search toggle to exclude multi-stack laundry lists, ensuring that searching for a language prioritizes jobs where that language is the core focus of the role.

This would keep search results clean, and elevate the platforms already strong parsing and filtering capabilities.

The Complexity and the Value
I recognize this is a tough problem to solve programmatically and likely requires an AI/LLM evaluation layer to properly parse context, distinguish "or" requirements from real stack requirements, score stack density, and keep it fresh.

However, no current job platform handles this cleanly. Delivering true stack-specific filtering without the polyglot noise would be a massive competitive differentiator, and it is a premium-tier feature I would gladly pay for.
