    > If you've submitted a post to this month's 'Who Wants to Be Hired?", you can find your matching job listings at https://hnmatchmaker.com/user/:user_name, for example https://hnmatchmaker.com/user/G4Vi

    I'm sure you mean well but as someone who has considered posting on who wants to be hired in the past.... this is creepy AF and feels like a giant invasion of privacy. If you did it privately, or authenticated people in some way, sure, but as is it feels like you're putting people on blast.

    Also this sounds way more like an advertisement for "abacus.ai" than a side project announcement.

    Your post also starts a list of "things" ("Some observations when looking at the matches pair up right now:") with no list.

    Actually, nothing about this really feels good faith, or real.

      I don't see the blast. The endless non-job-related spam from "who wants to be hired?" posts is real, though, and actually creepy IMO. Looking at you today, pivotpaper.us

      The users in question are posting on a public forum under a username of their choosing, and it's still an invasion of privacy to read those posts and play pretend matchmaker?

    this is cool! incidentally we do a similar motion internally for members on https://www.hedgy.works

    how did you think about evaluating quality when designing your ranker / fit scoring?
