Hacker News user 'yeahnah' launched a new web tool called Yeah Nah that assigns a "BS score" to Australian job advertisements. The tool analyzes job postings to detect exaggerated claims, vague language, and inflated requirements often found in the local market. Users can paste a job description into the site to receive a numerical score reflecting the perceived amount of "bullshit" or marketing fluff.
The project aims to help job seekers differentiate between substantive role requirements and empty corporate jargon. The tool is currently focused on the Australian job market, providing a playful yet critical lens on recruitment practices. By quantifying the quality of job ads, the initiative seeks to improve transparency and help candidates make more informed application decisions.
The launch has garnered attention on Hacker News for its unique approach to evaluating employment listings.
