Idea

A pay-to-post job board restricted to 50 hand-curated companies

Shaan reveals the business behind the segment: a curated job board (built with Pallet) where only ~50 vetted high-upside companies can appear. Companies must pay to have their jobs show up; if they don't pay they're listed but with no live postings.

“I'm going to curate 50 companies that meet this criteria and I'm going to basically create a job board from this. And the thing with the job board is you can't just be a company who wants to come list on here. No, only these 50 companies that are curated can post on this job board. They have to pay to do it. But, but, but if they don't pay, they're just on the list, but no jobs will show up.”

Steal thisBuild a curated job board where the curation is the product: only hand-picked companies can appear, and they pay to activate their listings.

Decentralized LinkedIn: niche job boards living inside communities

Shaan's thesis for Pallet: nobody will rebuild LinkedIn's 500M-person network, so instead create a distributed version — thousands of niche job boards (e.g. a community of Angular developers) each living in its own community. Employers would rather post to a targeted Angular job board than to LinkedIn.

“So, so I think this is a distributed version of LinkedIn. It's basically saying nobody, nobody's going to build a 500 million person social network for professionals, professionals again, that's LinkedIn's advantage. But what if instead of 500 million people on one network, you had 500, you know, you have 50,000 people on whatever, 100 networks or whatever it is, do the math.”

Steal thisUnbundle a giant network into many niche community job boards employers will pay a premium to reach.
