Launch HN: Weekday (YC W21) – Hire engineers vouched for by other engineers
When I &quot;vouch&quot; for a friend, what happens on the friend&#x27;s side?  Am I opting them in to getting email(s) from weekday?<p>If so, that seems slightly odd that I&#x27;m going through my top 10 friends on linked-in, vouching for them so that they are now going to get some a cold email(s), but I have no insight if those 10 people are looking for jobs and want this email at all.  I&#x27;m pretty much saying to my friends &quot;Hey, I just gave your info to this random company so hopefully I&#x27;ll make some money off you.&quot;  (And yes, it is true that I&#x27;m &quot;helping&quot; them get a job, but the people I&#x27;d vouch for don&#x27;t need help, in this market they can get a job very quickly)<p>I will admit that some aspects of what I mention above are true in the &quot;screen-share call&quot; example you gave above, BUT it&#x27;s the fact that the screen-share alternative is clunky&#x2F;painful which makes it more socially acceptable.  The automation&#x2F;scale of your new approach starts to feel more spammy.<p>When you say &quot;No recruiter mails&quot; on your website, what does that mean exactly?  Who is the subject of that sentence and who is the object?  Subject: weekday recruiter?  in-house recruiters at tech companies?  contingency recruiters?  Object: me the voucher?  the person I&#x27;m vouching for?<p>Note: I&#x27;m not trying to be mean or negative, I&#x27;m just trying to understand the full feedback loop, so I can be empathetic to all parties, especially my friends.  :)
