Have you ever been able to find a job or get a client/collaboration thanks to Product Hunt?
Product Hunt is a place where there are many companies promoting products.
Yesterday I was asked by @maria_anosova if it is possible to get your dream job thanks to this platform.
I thought about it.
Product Hunt used to advertise job openings, so that was one way to get a job.
On Product Hunt, occasionally some people launch services/products that are used to find work (e.g., job vacancy databases).
If someone sees an interesting company on a product hunt, they can go to their website and see if they are looking for people. (e.g. Work for us, Careers, Jobs, Join us, etc. or write HR)
If you are a prominent member of the Product Hunt community, companies are already reaching out to you for collaboration or contract work.
What is your experience? Have you landed a job thanks to this platform?

Honestly, Product Hunt isn’t a job board, but it’s low-key a backdoor hustle. If you’re lurking here, treat it like a networking event: stalk cool products, engage smartly, and slide into DMs like “Hey, y’all hiring?” Worst case? You get ignored. Best case? You skip the LinkedIn spam hell.

@onbing At least, you can find interesting people / friends :)
I've never really thought about it, but I think Product Hunt is one of the best places to discover SaaS companies. However, I wouldn't say it's the best place to land a job directly.
Would love to hear experiences if anyone has actually landed a job through PH :)

@isibol01 Agree – it can serve for jobs (but as the secondary thing) – it is not initial :) Just a bonus :)

No, but met great people (virtually). I truly think that PH community is one of the best, if not the best, for entrepreneurs. So, anything is possible if you're able to connect with founders/teams that are looking for someone with your profile or product.

@jawad_tijani It is true that I also found there many great people – had interview with them or met in real life :)
Product Hunt serves as a dynamic platform for discovering innovative products and connecting with companies. While it may not be a traditional job board, many users have found opportunities by networking with product creators, engaging in discussions, or following up with companies directly on their career pages. Active participation and visibility in the community can also open doors to collaborations or freelance work.
What about you? Have you landed any opportunities through Product Hunt?

Just collabs :)
