Stack Overflow, which is now owned by Prosus, has announced the "sunsetting" of Stack Overflow Jobs and Developer Stories.

Stack Overflow, which is now owned by Prosus, has announced the "sunsetting" of Stack Overflow Jobs and Developer Stories. This decision, which hasn't been widely reported, isn't welcomed by developers.

“As we considered the next stage of growth for us as a company, we went back to product fundamentals and asked ourselves: how can we leverage our unique position to solve real, meaningful problems for our users and customers?” Stack Overflow explained in a corporate blog posting. “While Talent Jobs helped us get to where we are over the past decade, the talent acquisition space is not one where we have a strong competitive advantage.”

It makes perfect financial sense for Stack Overflow, if they are indeed making the change to maximise revenue collected from employers. However, there will be a large gap on the market for startups, small and mid-size companies who will not qualify - and will not have the budget - for the "employee branding services" SO will keep providing (but does not share details on).

The following features will be discontinued and removed from the site by March 31, 2022:

What changes are we making?

    Jobs – including job search, saved searches, applications, messages, recommended job matches, and job ads
    Developer Story and any saved resumes
    Salary Calculator
    All emails, settings, and data associated with these features
    All employer-facing features related to Jobs and Developer Story

What can you expect in the coming months?

    Late January 2022 – users will no longer be able to create new Developer Stories
    February 2022 – users will start to see banners and notices on all deprecated features
    February 2022 – the Salary calculator will no longer be available
    Early March 2022 – users will be able to easily export all their data related to Jobs Developer Story
    March 31, 2022 – all remaining discontinued features will be removed from the site
