In my experience, most developers are looking for more then "just" another job...it could be a bump in pay but it usually also means a new challenge like working on a particular tech, type of product, domain, etc...nothing here on the Hire-a-HN-hacker tells the employer what you want to do, only what few hot keyword/skills you have and sure, the skills will match the same keywords that crappy recruiters are searching for and you'll learn about heaps of jobs good and more often bad. You could also post your résumé privately on monster if you want to cast a wide net.
we're lucky as engineers...tradionally employers have had an abundance of candidates to filter, but with programming skills in such demand, developers now have an abundance of oppourtunities...it's not that we need more job oppourtunities, we need a way to filter the bad ones out.

Sure, that's _exactly_ what FiveYearItch is all about.
When you register ( http://www.fiveyearitch.com/register?publisher=e0e3f1 ), you will say "what you need in your next job," whether it is learning opportunities, ace colleagues, stock options, a flat hierarchy, or anything else you'd like.
Employers have to commit to provide these if a deal goes through.
The "Hire-a-HN-Hacker" widget has limited space, and so it highlights skills that would interest an employer, but when the employer clicks to search, they'll see the developer's requirements as well.
