November 2023 Roundup

Hey team, hope it's all going well.

For those of you not on the mailing list, here's November's update.

What a month!

It's been just about a month since I took the site over and I've been injecting as much energy into it as I can muster. This has resulted in a flurry of releases with updates, bug fixes and plenty of new features.

Be sure to read the acquisition announcement if you haven't already.

Here are some of the highlights from November:

  • Highest month of visitors to the site ever 📈
  • Over 800 new user accounts registered - the most signups in a single month 🧑🏻‍💻
  • Over 21k page views 👀
  • Increased the number of developer profiles created by just over 100% 🪪
  • Every pre-existing and new profile reviewed - that's over 1,000 profiles reviewed! ✅
  • Rolled out various improvements and bug fixes to profiles, search, and messaging 🐞
  • Added the ability to save searches 💾 more on this soon
  • Improved the approval flow and added better notifications for both approval and rejection 🔔
  • Added the first part of profile unlocking and credits 📋
  • Added country pages to highlight some of the excellent global talent already signed up 🌍 🌎 🌏
  • Acquired 8 paying customers: 7 Sponsors and 1 Team 🫰

Looking Forward

December is already well under way and maybe you're already seeing things winding down for the holiday season. So if you're thinking about making a change in the new year, now's a great time to get your profile and resumé updated - whether you're looking for a new role or not.

December is shaping up to be a feature-packed month for Laradir too. Here are just a few of the ideas that I'm working on. Vote for your favorites or suggest your own!
