Where Are the Best Startup Job Opportunities Right Now? + Where to Hire Smart
Summary: Guillermo Vizcaíno initiated a discussion addressing the challenge of finding great talent and startup roles efficiently, sharing various platforms like 'Work at a Startup,' 'Wellfound,' and 'Remote OK' as useful resources. They encouraged founders and job seekers to contribute their recent successful hiring experiences or opportunities and suggested AI tools like Hireflow and ChatGPT for improving recruitment processes. Felix Gyamera mentioned 'Gini Talent' as an effective platform for remote tech hires in startups, which Guillermo Vizcaíno acknowledged positively and expressed interest in hearing direct experiences from others about this service.
Hey founders and job-seekers!
I’ve been helping a few early-stage teams recently, and one thing keeps coming up:
“Where do I find great talent, or great startup roles, without wasting weeks?”
So I figured I’d kick off a thread to share what’s working and ask the same from you.
💼 Best Places I’ve Seen for Startup Hiring:
Work at a Startup (via YC): Solid for technical hires and early-stage roles
Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent): Still decent reach for generalist hires
Pallet: Great for curated talent pools and newsletter-based job boards
Remote OK and We Work Remotely: Strong for global roles
Indie Hackers/X: Surprisingly good for founder-adjacent operators and devs
Latitud Jobs: Awesome if you're hiring or looking within Latin America
👥 Let’s make this thread useful:
Founders: Where have you found your best hires lately?
Talent: Seen any awesome opportunities or lesser-known job boards?
Looking for a co-founder or key hire? Drop a link or quick blurb below - would love to help surface it.
Bonus tip: AI tools like Hireflow, Ashby, or just ChatGPT with a great prompt can help refine messaging and set expectations clearly (especially for async or remote-first roles).
Let’s make it easier for great people to find great companies!!!

AdminOP11 months agoThat’s a great add! I’ve also heard solid things about Gini Talent, especially for startups looking for vetted remote tech talent without getting lost in endless applications. Seems like they bridge well between startups and global engineers. 🙌
Curious if anyone here has actually hired through them? Would love to hear first-hand experiences 👀
