HexHire started from a personal frustration. I kept hearing that “there aren’t many Elixir jobs.” But as someone active in the Elixir ecosystem, I knew that wasn’t true.

The jobs were there — just scattered everywhere. Some appeared on Elixir-specific boards like Elixir Jobs and Elixir Radar, which do a great job curating high-quality roles, but the volume was always limited. Most Elixir opportunities lived elsewhere:

LinkedIn posts and company pages
Discord and Slack communities
X (Twitter) threads
General-purpose job boards
Elixir Forum discussions

Finding them meant constantly switching platforms, scrolling feeds, and hoping you didn’t miss something. That fragmentation always felt unnecessary.

I wanted one simple thing:

A single place focused on remote Elixir jobs
No noise from unrelated tech stacks
No chasing links across half the internet

So I built HexHire — the place I wished existed when I was searching myself.

What HexHire is (and isn’t)

HexHire is:

A focused job board
Optimized for clarity and speed
Built for a specific community

HexHire is not:

A massive marketplace
A recruiter platform
A general tech job board

The goal is usefulness, not scale for scale’s sake.

How I’m building it

HexHire is built incrementally:

Small features
Fast feedback
Real usage over assumptions

I’m intentionally keeping it simple:

Minimal UI
Clear job posts
No dark patterns

If it helps even a handful of people find the right role or hire the right developer, it’s doing its job.

What’s next

I’m continuing to:

Improve the posting flow
Listen to feedback from companies and developers
Ship small improvements consistently

HexHire is a long-term project, not a launch-day experiment.
