Speaker describes starting Career Coyote to surface San Diego tech job postings and events that were getting lost on LinkedIn. They manually checked career pages to elevate startup opportunities, reduce costly job promotion, and help people find work. Early effort found 33 companies with at least one San Diego-based job; the launch generated strong engagement on LinkedIn and produced additional data points to explore.
33 companies
Tell us about the genesis of Career Coyote and how's it going so far? Sweet. So I was seeing similarly with the, the event space. I was just seeing lots of things everywhere. So all of these companies, a lot of these San Diego tech companies are posting their events. I think they get lost in LinkedIn or their, their jobs lost in LinkedIn. And so I was kind of saying, well, if I start to go to their career pages, wouldn't they have, you know, wouldn't that be a natural place to find some of these? And so I just wanted to make sure that they could elevate. I wanted to start putting this stuff out here so people start sending me jobs. I want startups to be able to kind of compete for good, good talent because, you know, it's expensive to promote jobs. And it's also, you know, I want people to be able to find work. So basically went through as many career pages as I could find. There's plenty more to go through. But I found 33 companies that had at least one job located here in San Diego. And I thought it was just interesting, like, let's just throw this out there and kind of see what happens. And it went. It went pretty crazy on LinkedIn, actually. But there's some fun data points out.
