StackOverflow Upgrades Their Careers Job Board for Programmers
The StackOverflow team has just launched their new product that is going to help them monetize their very popular programmer community. The site is Careers 2.0 at careers.stackoverflow.com. StackOverflow has had a careers site for sometime, but it is now receiving a much needed overhaul.
Careers 2.0 is a great match for StackOverflow and it will really help employers find the right programmers for the job, plus it provides programmers with an interesting background showing their efforts in StackOverflow answers.
“Everything is completely redesigned and rebuilt to look great, work fast,” says Spolsky. Careers 2.0 is free for developers with the catch that you have to be invited by either your peers or a StackOverflow moderator (before anyone with a credit card could sign up). Employers have to pony up $500 for weekly access.
