Show HN: A job board for companies fighting ageism in tech
Hi all Carmen here. A bit of my story below:<p>my husband (leonagano) had faced ageism in his job hunting journey, especially because the tech environment sometimes attracts young people and the more experienced professionals are being left behind. Wearing my journalist hat, I started looking for ways to help and fight ageism.<p>After further research, I realised this is actually a common problem among the IT industry as stated in some articles from the likes of The Guardian (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/careers/2017/aug/14/women-ageism-tech-startup-sexism" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/careers/2017/aug/14/women-ageism...</a>), Wired (<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/surviving-as-an-old-in-the-tech-world/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/story/surviving-as-an-old-in-the-tech-...</a>), Forbes (<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/marenbannon/2019/04/10/the-biggest-bias-in-tech-that-no-one-talks-about/#278750a062e3" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/marenbannon/2019/04/10/the-bigg...</a>), Bloomberg (<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-17/75-year-old-job-hunters-could-become-new-normal-in-aging-japan" rel="nofollow">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-17/75-year-o...</a>)<p>That's when I decided to start this job board and hopefully, try to reduce this problem to the minimum possible<p>Sometimes, the problem happens during the job description, where the "older" professionals feel excluded when words like tech-native, ninja, etc are used, according to Dice (<a href="https://insights.dice.com/2018/02/28/employers-welcome-tech-job-hunters-over-40/" rel="nofollow">https://insights.dice.com/2018/02/28/employers-welcome-tech-...</a>)
