Jan 6, 2016 at 21:00 comment added user2284570 I think the situation of a separate site with separate accounts os ꜱᴏ linked to Stack Overflow can be an acceptable status quo (did you investigated using the global stack exchange account directly ?). The point is the current change will enhance targeting for developers at the expense of sysadmins (making things worst because there would be no longer separate site with separate design, but we disagree on that point).
Jan 6, 2016 at 20:43 comment added user2284570 I'm not that concerned by the fact ServerFault don't have it's own site. I would support the idea of a single job board for the whole network. I'm concerned by the fact it is being served under a site for different topic. Hence the comparison of trying to sell bread at a miler only shop. If the shop was labelled for selling bread and floor, their would be no problem.
Jan 6, 2016 at 20:34 comment added Laura StaffMod We have no plans to build a separate job board for Server Fault in the near future. Maybe eventually, but not any time soon.
Jan 6, 2016 at 20:32 comment added Laura StaffMod @user2284570 Okay, I think I understand where you're coming from better now, but it seems like what you're actually concerned with is that Server Fault doesn't have its own totally separate jobs site. That's an issue that predates the current integration plans, and as I said in my answer, moving the job board to SO really isn't making anything worse (though it's not making it better either) for sys admins / sys admin jobs.
Jan 6, 2016 at 19:30 comment added user2284570 I’m talking about the targeting of the job board. Ok, we might not share the same concern about the origin of the problem. As I explained in my question, I think it is because careers.stackoverflow.com isn't careers.stackexchange.com (and use some of stackoverflow design) that most jobs advertised on careers (which will become stackoverflow) target developpers.
Jan 6, 2016 at 18:54 comment added Laura StaffMod I don't really understand what you mean by "changing the targeting for what they will see first" @user2284570 - we aren't changing anything about the way employers choose targeting.
Jan 6, 2016 at 18:44 comment added user2284570 By clearly changing the targetting for what they will see first (the job tab).
Jan 6, 2016 at 18:41 comment added Laura StaffMod @user2284570 What about the change makes you think that employers will be discouraged from posting sys admin jobs? For them, nothing's really changing.
Jan 6, 2016 at 18:36 comment added user2284570 I understand that you are still encouraging employers to post sysadmins jobs. I'm not saying you will forbid it. But the change will simply discourage them from doing so. I will never think to buy bread at a shop without a bakery label. This is why I wrotein practice by making targetting far worst than it is now. And this feature request is to prevent the move, or at least, do a split not really discussing about it.
