Would you use a job board where every listing is verified?
Online job scams seem increasingly common. I'm curious whether people would actually use a job board where every job listing is verified before being published. Would something like this make you more likely to search for jobs there?

Every time I ask about getting clients, people recommend SaaS tools — are they actually reliable?
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed something interesting. Every time I ask about finding clients for my dev/web agency, I end up receiving messages or comments recommending some SaaS tools that supposedly automate outreach or find leads automatically. Usually it’s something like: * a tool that scans Reddit or social media for people looking for services * then automatically sends DMs or outreach messages I’m honestly not sure how reliable this is. Are these tools actually effective for getting real clients, or is it mostly marketing from the people who built them? Also wondering: * Do they risk getting your accounts banned (Reddit, LinkedIn, etc.)? * Are the leads actually good quality? * Has anyone here really gotten paying clients using these tools? Curious to hear real experiences, not marketing. Thanks!
