How do you monitor for quality? Or just don’t?

I think for job searchers one of the benefits of a good job board is quality listings.

Maybe require a zap to list?

1) Job posting fraud isn't as much about quantity (like email spam), but the quality. Idk if some minor sats barrier would prevent it.

Ongoing payment requirements are a good proxy of the job ad still being active, but a weak prevention of scams.

2) the "trust issue" is one of the main problems in the recruiting space. Neither side of the negotiations can count on sincerity of the other side. I think some sats escrow preventing ghosting could be a nice solution. Also, seeing how many other jobs/candidates is the counterparty actively engaging, and of course, reputations.

3) Search relevance would be an issue too, but solvable with a new event kind and client.

4) candidate management would also need to be solved, and automated. Anything with n+ candidates creates significant overhead for the recruiter.

In general, it's hard to compete with the generalist, or well funded job board marketplaces.

Picking a good niche and trying to get some traction and little circular economy/community going there is the way.

Generalists can't compete with niches. (Which is the whole promise of nostr to me; low costs of rapid experimentation will alwaysbeat the wealthy most).

Little niche job marketplace tailored around remote help on nostr/Bitcoin projects could be a way to start.
