Ask HN: Is there a hire by “values match” site?
So here's the issue I have with hiring platforms, I often get paired with companies based on technical skills or industries I've worked within, but I really just want to work alongside people I share similar values with.
I'd love to find my next job through a platform that matches me with a company that aligns with my values.
For example:
- 12 month or more financial runway
- executives have strategic plan written out for profitability (ie, they're not just winging it)
- product decision makers say no to things, but also listen
- decisions made based on quantitative and qualitative analysis
- proactive communication culture
(PS - am I asking for too much in a 50-200 person company?)

It may not be exactly what you want, but check out KeyValues. https://www.keyvalues.com
Looks promising and definitely interested in using. thanks!
That would be awesome, but how could these things be measured-- decision makers saying no, proactive communication, etc?
Some of them, like financial runway, are also usually well-guarded information.
some of my values are inherently qualitative, so I would expect ask for examples (which are not ancedotal).
For example,
- Provide written plans for the last 2-5 features you pushed out.
- What's the process for firing employees ... is any of it in writing?
- What's the template for communicating ideas across the company quickly? Amazon has the 1-page tactical doc, the 6-page strategy doc, M$soft the 30 second CEO update, Google the 2 minute pitch. What communication norms/templates do you have within your company?
totally get some values are only shared with trusted parties. maybe there could be public and non-public values?
