Make it easier to see who is actually for hire

As a Roblox Developer (personally), often I get confused on where to find people “for-hire” as the #collaboration:portfolios category represents a list of work/experience done and not generally somewhere to look for hiring people.

It would be useful for me and a lot of other developers if we added a #collaboration:for-hire category. Those that are looking for work can simply link their portfolio thread, and explain payment and other relevant details in the for-hire thread.

As an additional feature, it would also be nice for said categories to have a special “Close” feature, allowing the owner of the thread to close their topic when they are not for hire anymore.

#collaboration:recruitment is for finding and posting job offers. #collaboration:portfolios is for advertising your services and finding and potentially hiring individuals (some aren’t for hire). I don’t believe we need another subcategory, and in general #collaboration doesn’t need any more attention considering the talent hub is out, despite in private beta. But eventually it will be public once everything is ready.

Instead of adding new category, you could suggest an enforcement of using the #forhire tag on portfolios that are open, however that’s unlikely too.

Hm, I do see your point here. As an alternative, you can always post a recruitment thread.

That’s also true. A special tag or simply putting “[FOR HIRE]” in your portfolio thread would also work.

I guess an entire sub-category would be a bit too much, but it would still be nice to have a more clear clarification on who is for-hire and who is not, such as an enforcement of a hashtag or a specific title.

As incapaz said in the post above, #collaboration:portfolios is for your personal portfolio where you share your work with people. If you want them to know if you are for hire or not just add a (OPEN)/(CLOSED) tag at the title of your portfolio.

That sounds like you don’t know, but you can already add that tag to your posts

Yeah, I’m aware that you can do that. I put it there to resemble the other options.

Please title your posts after problems, not after proposed solutions. Fixed your title.
