Started a discussion on #FlockingBird 's spreading #fediBlock . hopefully they answer people's legitimate concerns.
We have suspended them in the meantime, and they do not seem very responsive. I'd hate to lose this nice service, but as an admin I have to think about our users first

At least, it seem to not do a full text search but a hashtag search. So it would deliver the same results as a manual search i guess (assuming your own instance sees the as much as this search engine). Shall be fair then.
Edit: How #flockingbird seems to work:
Step 1: Searches/filters all posts it can see for certain hashtags as #vacancy, or #job: 👍
Step 2: User can then do a full text search within the prefiltered posts 👎
Not fair, IMO.
For a while I've been thinking how to help people find jobs that wasn't #Linkedin. Most of my own career transforming events have been through word of mouth or via social networking back in the early days (not so much now).
I was considering created an instance but I don't have the time to do it justice so I decided the best thing I could do is search for #OpenToWork or #HiringNow hashtags and give them a boost. I know there's a #Fediverse place for posting jobs called #Flockingbird too but doesn't seem that well known yet.
Hope it connects some people with their next great opportunity!
