The Best Jobs at the Best Startup Companies (need to be fresh)
We’ve had a few users/friends point out some Startuply job listings that don’t correspond to listings on the company websites themselves. What’s going on? Well, not to put too fine a point on it: some of the jobs are no longer current.
We want Startuply to be more of a directory of Startup jobs than just another job board. It’s part of the reason that we’re rabidly staying away from a pay-per-job posting model. Jobs are free to post, and they never expire - and most companies actually take down listings for positions that they’ve filled.
Not all do, though. So we are starting to put particular effort into doing some basic QA to make sure that every job on Startuply is so fresh and so clean (clean). If you happen to run into a bad one, please let us know at support AT startuply DOT com, too.
So: we’re doing our best to make sure you’ve got easy access to the world’s best startup jobs, all in one place. Thanks!!

Problem is, such a manual method doesn’t scale. Worse, it’s out-of-band, thereby giving job seekers a disincentive for reporting. You’d do better with a craigslist “flag” model for removal. You’d also do better with a required expiry, though with no limit on renewals. Lastly, the inability to weed out items I’ve already seen (or at least to sort by date of posting) is pretty awful. After all, even if all the posting are legitimate, they’re not valuable if they’re not new to ME.

Thanks for the comments. We’re definitely working on this.
Max, I think a flagging system definitely has potential. We’re exploring some of these options, and we’ll definitely keep you in the loop.

Happy New Year.. any update on freshness? Is Startuply running on autopilot these days?
