Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi! 👋 I’m Joe Masilotti, the founder of RailsDevs – a reverse job board for Ruby on Rails developers. I’ve been a Rails developer for 10+ years and always dread the hiring process. The formal resume, the long interviews, third-party recruiters… It all favors the business!

RailsDevs strives to reverse that dynamic and give power back to the independent developer. It’s like a traditional job board but backward. Instead of businesses posting job descriptions, developers post their profiles to the platform. Then businesses message folks who look like a good fit.

This encourages organic conversations between two humans: the person hiring and the person looking for a job. Developers are happier, response rates are higher, and folks get hired more quickly.

RailsDevs only launched a year ago and has already grown to 600+ developers. And 30+ of them have found a new job through the platform! Through monthly subscriptions and hiring fees, RailsDevs make about $10,000 per month, on average.
