The first iteration of Stack Overflow Jobs brought a lot of value to the developer community. At its peak, it served legions of job seekers resulting in roughly 6 million yearly job searches, 2 million yearly “apply” clicks, and above industry average application submission rates.

Many community members reported a strong preference for using Stack Overflow Jobs in their job search because of our unique focus on developer needs, and were truly disappointed to see it go.

But unfortunately, the business model of the feature was not sustainable for Stack because of the investment it would have taken to make it competitive with other job sites. However, we are aware of how much users liked it, and how many people found a great job through it. In the last few years, we have heard repeatedly from community members that they want it back.
