[For Hire] Unemployed Software Engineer willing to work for food / basic sustenance.🥺🥺 PLEASE Reply Honestly

Hey Reddit,

I’m a Software Engineer currently facing tough times with unemployment. At this point, I just want to keep my skills sharp and stay afloat.

I am ready to work on your projects for FREE. I don't want a salary—honestly, just covering basic food or survival expenses is more than enough for me.

What I can do:

Full-Stack Web Development & UI/UX implementation.

Backend, APIs, and Database management.

Bug fixing, scripting, or literally any dev work you have.

If you run a startup, have an active project, or just need an extra developer to crush some tasks, I am your person. I can start immediately.

Please drop a DM or comment below if you have anything for me.

Thank you! -- written by ......... unemployment

Why is it still so hard for companies to find the right candidate?

Hi everyone,

​

I am researching a hiring-related idea and would love some honest feedback.

​

Many companies say they receive hundreds of applications, but still struggle to find the right candidate. At the same time, many skilled candidates apply to many jobs but don't get selected.

​

I'm thinking about building a platform that first collects feedback from recruiters and hiring managers about their biggest hiring challenges.

​

Then, using that feedback, the platform would help companies find more suitable candidates faster and reduce hiring mistakes.

Before building anything, I want to understand the real problem.

​

For recruiters, hiring managers, and founders:

​

  1. What is the biggest challenge in hiring today?

​

  1. Why do good candidates get rejected?

​

  1. What tools are you currently using for recruitment?

​

  1. If you could fix one thing in the hiring process, what would it be?

​

Any honest feedback, criticism, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

​

Thank you! 🙏
