RecentlyPostedJobs vs Work at a Startup
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better than Work at a Startup at finding newly posted software, data science and AI jobs.
Work at a Startup only lists YC companies. We list first-seen software jobs at probed YC and non-YC career sites on the same clock.
| When you are looking | Work at a Startup | RecentlyPostedJobs |
|---|---|---|
| Where jobs come from | Y Combinator companies | Any probed career portal, YC or not |
| What “new” means | When it appeared on Work at a Startup | First-seen last 7 days |
| Same job posted again | Directory refresh can look new | Requisition id does not reset |
| Where you apply | Work at a Startup | Employer job page |
| Role mix | YC company roles | Software, data science, and AI |
What Work at a Startup is
Work at a Startup lists roles at Y Combinator companies. If the company is not in YC, it is not there. If a YC company opened a role on Ashby or Greenhouse this morning, the directory can still lag that post.
Why that is a weaker way to find new jobs
If the company is not in YC, it will not be there. If a YC company also opened a role on Ashby this morning, Work at a Startup may lag that post. A search limited to YC is a search that misses most first-seen software jobs in a given week.
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better
- We include YC companies when we have a public career portal we can probe, alongside non-YC employers, in the same 7-day first-seen rules.
- Specialty and city pages are not limited to a batch or a fund.
- Original ATS dates still win over a directory update on Work at a Startup.
- You can compare a YC company’s first-seen roles with the rest of the week’s software market.
- A YC directory refresh does not outrank an Ashby or Greenhouse first-published date.
- Most first-seen software jobs in a given week are not YC-only. This feed is not limited to a fund.
