Reddit Starts a Job Board. Why Not?

That's probably what the folks at Reddit were thinking when they started Reddit Jobs, a Reddit job board. Although Reddit is more of a place to relax and read some funny comments than to go about job hunting, the Reddit community is young and smart, meaning they might be inclined to actually do real work at some date. It has also often been keen on changing the world for the better, doing the right thing and connecting the right people. Perhaps the job board will help great people find great jobs.

The actual job board is simple and gives you the ability to search for jobs, companies, or post jobs for a fee of $300, which will keep your listing on the site for 30 days.

In classic Reddit fashion, the job board does have a couple of funny details. For example, the Attributes section of the Company Profiles lets you set various unorthodox attributes as far as job listing goes. If Mashable were hiring on this particular job board, it would have a neutral good alignment, adhocratic level of bureaucracy, and an IT Freedom level that lets you admin your own box. As far as attire goes, you need to at least be wearing pants. I'm not gonna tell you if I currently adhere to this standard.
