I was just reminded that I own the domain phpjobs.net, and I’m not doing anything with it. 🤣🤣🤣

@ramsey I own the domain hire.global for years now, but never had the time (or motivation) to do anything with it.

@ramsey
Eh.
I have a few unused ones too.
(Cause my old provider asked me to pay extra for em if I let em expire.
So i moved em to my place and saved like 90% haha)

@ramsey i've owned "resumecreek.com" for over a decade with no progress

@ramsey im still itching to build out one of your domains 😅👀

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@ralphschindler I know. I don’t know what my problem is on these things. I hate sharing and discussing “visions” and aspirations because it makes me feel vulnerable. It’s what holds me back from actually executing anything.

@ramsey Clasic Ben. Slap ads on it, accept sponsorships and you’ll never go back to work again

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@grmpyprogrammer I’d like to make it ad-free and charge $250-500 per listing, but I’d need to make sure there’s value in that it provides a pipeline of good candidates that other job boards can’t provide. So, maybe ads are better.

@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer I like charging for listings. People who pay for listings are less likely to post ghost listings, which are a HUGE problem.

theshaunwalker,
@theshaunwalker@phpc.social avatar

@sarah @ramsey @grmpyprogrammer charge a very high amount for listing, then provide incremental discounts the more info they include, like salary band etc

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@theshaunwalker @ramsey @grmpyprogrammer I’ve considered building an ATS that does this. Also that charges you, say, $500 and refunds $250 when I get confirmation that you filled the role. Thus ghost jobs come with a penalty.

@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer srsly tho, it should take you very much to set this up and it might take off 🙏🙏🙏

@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer I had to maintain such websites for a long time in the past.

m1ke,
@m1ke@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey listing sites are a classic chicken-egg problem. Listers get no value unless you have good quality traffic, good quality traffic won't happen until you have good level of listings. From experience your best way to handle that would be make listings free but they still need vetting etc. so it's a long game. Once you have good interactions, you can work out who actually finds most value and find a way to encourage somebody to pay towards it

@ramsey Would love if that was real tbh but yeah that's pretty ironic at the moment. 😅

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@linc I got a domain renewal notice, which is what reminded me.

@Crell@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey Funemployment project!

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@Crell Ha! “Funemployment” implies it’s “fun.” It is not.

beausimensen,
@beausimensen@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey @Crell I never understood if "funemployment" was used sarcastically, from a position of privilege, or a mix of both.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@beausimensen @Crell I think both. Sort of a “first world problems” thing, maybe.

kboyd,
@kboyd@phpc.social avatar

@beausimensen @ramsey @Crell I've always felt it had a specific meaning: that a new role was already lined up, but the start date was a few weeks or months away. Otherwise, I don't see the fun.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@kboyd @beausimensen @Crell I think this is closer to the true meaning.

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey you should ABSOLUTELY do something with that.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@sarah
@Crell @linc There’s already phpjobs.app, and it’s not very good.

@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@linc @sarah @Crell I think there are a lot of companies/industries where “PHP” means “people helping people.”

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey @linc @Crell PHP also stands for Partial Hospitalization Program for mental health. Noticed a few of those in there.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar
ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@linc @sarah @Crell It also means “partial hospitalization program” for outpatient services.

sarah,
@sarah@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey great minds. ;)
