I'm semi-actively looking for a new job, and wanted to leverage #C0BQ5GZ0S for this. However, I'm a backend engineer, and I'm not interested in Android offers - there're plenty of them. I'm wondering if we could have some robust way to tell them apart. I know #CPKD2EGSY exists, but for now I want to browse the job adverts rather than advertising myself.

My first naive idea was to include some kind of tag in the message, but there's no way (I know) to enforce it.

Another idea is to have separate channels: #C0BQ5GZ0S gets split into e.g. #hiring-android and #hiring-backend, perhaps also in the future #hiring-multiplatform or #hiring-desktop. I know that some company may look for engineers for more than one speciality, but then they can simply send multiple job adverts. Such division would help folks like me.
What do you think?

IMO it does not have enough flow to separate in multiple channels but forcing to use a template with a minimum amount of structured detail or auto-delete the message is a must.

[Piotr Krzemiński]

True, not much traffic here, but technically it's not a blocker for splitting. Enforcing some message structure would be fine as well, as long as it's doable without too much complexity (I presume a lot is possible via API)

Sad slack doesn't have tags

@Alina Dolgikh [JB] what's your take on this?

[Alina Dolgikh [JB]]

Hi! Maybe search can help? Not sure if it makes sense to separate channels, since there are a few postings per month.

Maybe search can help

With a forced template, for sure, without it, can be hard to filter the offers

[Javier]

You know, the typical message: Our app if fully Kotlin with Compose, the whole stack includes Go for backend -> if you look for backend, you find an Android offer

I guess Slack has/had a feature called workflows where one would get a form for adding a message in a structured form. We could have a question about Kotlin's use, then there's a question if it's possible to enforce using such workflows
