Cool idea! Clean and simple UI.

You mean LinkedIn works great for you, but you would be interested in something around tech community only?

Nice. I was thinking on the same line.

Like UX Pin, Dribble, there should be for backend/front end software architecture.

I liked the site. What's plan on adding more resources?

We are currently testing different domains, what are you interested to see more?

End to end system design.

What is the architecture of coderecipe. It looks like angular on front end. What are you using for CMS?

When you say e2e, how big of the scope are you talking about? from frontend to everything in backend? can you give an example? I think the bigger the scope is, the more it will be used as a reference rather than directly able to use?

architecture of coderecipe: haha good question! yes we are using angular for frontend, and CMS is custom code built on top of AWS serverless.

thanks for the resources.

ohh, that's nice. What is the informal process?Is it the same?

Probably there is niche, but m not able to validate this idea.

Generally it's a personal connection. Someone will here a startup went out of business and they know they were good at there jobs and get reached out to.

Sometimes the entire team gets hired all at once.

Thanks for your input. I completely agree that both sides have to be reached in a proper way.

In MVP, I was thinking someone, may be a founder or person who can help, will fill simple details. Later stage, they can send invitation links to employees to fill in the details.

Thanks. I just read the interview from Slack CEO today and he was stressing on the point of helping employees, if your startup fails.

So wanted to check, if all other companies also do the same for their employees.

You're welcome. I have had to wind a couple of companies down that weren't successful and both times we did everything possible to help the employees and even the couple of contractors we had. I learned this ironically at GE when I worked there early in my career. We had layoffs of staff, both professionals and non-professionals and the level of effort and resources GE had us put into helping those people left a huge impression on me.

One thing I have seen in the startup community over the last 20+ years is generally people do their best to help the employees. Although there are some pretty infamous examples of the opposite, those seem to be the minority.

Also in terms of references, caymanjim is right when it comes to enterprises, but small businesses and startups I find are usually a little more reference friendly to a degree. Personally when hiring people though, I generally skip any reference checks for the exact reason he listed, as they are a waste of time. However, for a critical position I do generally call around to people I know and see if I can learn anything that might affect my decision, but for the average position I wouldn't bother.

Thanks davismwfl. This very good information.

I am working on this side project idea where failing or shutting down startups who want their employees to get job somewhere can create a job board with information about there employees and can share that job board with their networks, VC group companies etc.

What legal trouble might there be for providing references?

Saying anything negative can easily lead to a lawsuit (regardless of merit). This creates a reluctance to do anything more than confirm title and dates of employment.

understood.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks. I was searching and did not find any news regarding the same.
