Overall, my experience was positive and growth focused. The team encourages ownership and trusts engineers to solve real problems, which made the work meaningful. There is a strong emphasis on collaboration, code quality, and continuous improvement, and feedback is generally constructive and timely. Leadership is approachable and open to new ideas, which helps create a supportive environment for learning and innovation. The company does well in aligning technical work with business impact, so you can clearly see how your contributions matter. With a bit more structure around long term planning and documentation, the experience could be even better.

Good and knowledgeable

it was good !

Just unnecessary emails and only shows job openings but nothing processes further once applying..

Good place if you need a side job!

prompt prompt feedback

Yes this website is very helpful to find a better and life opportunity. i highly recommended every engineer to this website.

Worst way to apply for a job ... whya re we complicating simple application process ... Nonsense

They are able to provide eye-opening positions. They are well-matched with my skill sets.

This was a complete waste of time and felt borderline deceptive.

Hackajob contacted me on LinkedIn about a paid project. I explicitly told them I live in Europe (and my LinkedIn clearly shows it). They still pushed me through the process, I completed the task, submitted it, and it was accepted.

Then—only after acceptance—when I tried to sign the contract to get more tasks and get paid, the platform threw an error. That’s when I discovered the project apparently doesn’t provide contracts for people outside the USA.

So let me get this straight: you’re happy to invite me, take my time, accept my work… and only then you reveal I can’t proceed? That’s not a “small mistake,” that’s incompetent at best and shady at worst.

If you’re not in the US, don’t touch this unless you want to donate free labor and get stuck in system errors.

Note:
What makes this worse is how you handled the feedback. Before replying, you tried multiple times to get this review removed (first as "defamatory," then "harmful/illegal," then claiming it was for a different business). When that didn't work, you posted a response that basically says "not our fault" because it was a partner's project. But you contacted me, you pushed me through the process, and your platform/relationship enabled the situation. If you can't verify basic eligibility (like country restrictions) and you try to suppress criticism instead of fixing the issue, that’s not "matching candidates to roles"—it’s careless at best and misleading at worst. Own it, reimburse people's time when your pipeline fails, and stop attempting to game the review system. Right now, this looks less like a hiring service and more like a funnel that wastes candidates' time with zero accountability.

I had great job opportunities

it is pathetic platform

A great service to let employers find you and invite you for roles available

I’ve been working as a full-stack developer for about eight years now. Most of my work has been with Node.js and React. I’ve led projects from start to finish, building both the backend and frontend. For the backend, I use Node.js with Express or NestJS, and for the frontend, I use React with TypeScript.
At CVS Health, I worked on big web apps that needed to handle a lot of users at once. I built APIs, managed databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and set up cloud stuff on AWS. I also made sure the apps were secure, using JWT and OAuth for authentication.
I’m used to working with teams, doing code reviews, mentoring junior devs, and following best practices like writing tests and setting up CI/CD. I enjoy solving tough problems, making apps faster, and keeping my code clean and easy to maintain.

A very good platform to latch onto it job seamlessly.

I appreciate the fact that I do not need to chase the employers, rather your platform gave the opportunity to be seen and chased.

It's an easy platform to use. You have to be attentive to alerts you get when potential employers express an interest but that's easy to manage. I would encourage anyone using it to put in as much relevant detail as possible as that's what you're being matched against.
