Comment on Ask HN: What is your job? Do you like it? What was your favorite job?

I currently work in a French administration predicting which companies are likely to hire in the next 6 months (in France).

It's a long-term freelance gig in a joint venture between the french secretary of economy and the national unemployment agency.

My job title is officially Lead Developer for the project but since we're such a small team (the idea is to borrow the organisation and process of a startup in a big french administration, bypassing their hellish processes), I also help in copywriting, system administration, monitoring, and the most interesting : machine learning using a huge amount of economic/recruitment data to predict which companies will hire. We have pretty good results!

It's a great gig and hopefully of social value to France which needs it at the moment (unemployment is at an all-time high right now).

What are the use cases for this kind of data?

The main objective of the product is to help job seekers identify which companies are worth spending time for sending an open sollicitation.

75% of the job market is "hidden" (jobs that were filled without the company ever posting a job ad). We help the job seekers to identify this hidden job market.
