Not yet. But it's being brought up often enough that somebody will probably start working on it in earnest. IIRC somebody did start somethit, but I think it was abandoned

Main alternative (not FLOSS, but European) would be XING! as far as I know

I am not sure open source can reproduce the "LinkedIn experience". I'm also not sure that's a huge loss. That place is a dumpster fire on a steep hill.

Doesn't need the social slop, just the the organized public profiles and companies.

XING has been my compromise. It does feel like more and more of a ghost town though. LinkedIn is where the jobs are.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

problem is you need companies being part of it and barring that you need all the people you have ever worked with being on it.

This morning my unemployed ass saw a post on Reddit of someone talking about leaving indeed/linkedin and an "open source ATS job aggregator and application tracking app" they're developing (this is the GitHub repo in question, btw). Maybe you or that person in your cooperative can find it useful.

Code is easy; marketing, making user growth and get your bill paid are hard

Does your cooperative have a website? I’m always interested to discover more co-ops.

LinkedIn does suggest the same job like 20 times though, so there’s quite some bias too

We are working on the exact thing. However it is still in its infancy, but there is a desperate need for it. If you'd like to check out our project, visit our very recent community !theBrotherhoodSpace@lemmy.zip or our website

Very true, it has to be more than a software implementation. It has to be sustainable on its own and lucrative for workers and companies alike. If you're interested, we're working on that exact problem. You can visit our website
