Wow, very very delayed, but I present to you: Culture Queries!

Would love feedback if you have any 😊

Oh, I didn't realize you are the creator of keyvalues.com! I tried it as soon as you launched it. I wish you expanded in Europe:).

Tried the Culture Queries now. Awesome work!! Brilliant idea to have a tool, and I think it fits your product very well. Don't know if you already do that, but at least theoretically, you could offer advice on these questions to companies who sign up and post job openings. "3 companies like you are good for families", "see what developers look for in your area", "how to make your team more attractive", etc.

Again, congratulations on having such a nice product!

I'm trying very hard to add teams based in Europe! I have a few now, but I'm sure it'll take some time. If you know of any, by all means, send them my way.

That's an interesting take. I've been focusing on serving job seekers and engineers, but there are certainly many features to help employers on the other side. That being said, I'm pretty cautious about encouraging people (on either side of the equation) to say things that they they think other people want to hear. If anything, I'm trying to cut the fluff and marketing copy.

Of course, the ideal scenario is that companies actually go through the work of adjusting their policies / traditions / hiring practices to be better for their employees.

Anyway, thank you very much!!! And I'll do my best to up the European profiles 👍🏼

Thank you for your reply, Lynne!
If I hear from someone in here, I will send them to you for sure.

Hmm. You are right: in many cases they will say what candidates want to hear. I kind of assumed they might just forget to add their values; but indeed, some of them can and will start telling people lies. On the other hand, if they want to deceive, they probably do it already.

Maybe an idea would be to offer companies some coaching services?.. But maybe it goes a bit too far then.

Anyway, best of luck with your great idea! I subscribed to you on twitter, will be watching you growing your business.
