Entrepreneurs and builders rarely give themselves that structure.
So I built hired.wtf.
Instead of applying to companies, you send your CV to yourself.
The app interviews you and generates a fixed-term employment contract between “Employer You” and “Employee You.”
It includes:
• Role title
• Term (30/60/90 days)
• Deliverables & KPIs
• Performance review schedule
• Termination clause
The idea is simple:
Turn vague goals into binding commitments.
It’s not a productivity tracker.
It’s a psychological contract engine.
I’m curious:
• Does formal structure actually change behavior?
• Would you use something like this?
• What would make it genuinely useful vs gimmicky?
Today I learned that wtf is a top-level domain. Apparently ICANN approved it against the wishes of the Saudi Arabian government [0].

Maybe the title is a bit misleading because "instead of applying for jobs" implies to me at least that it's a job-finding site.
Well, that’s interesting.
Maybe somebody will use it, self reflect, and make positive changes.
If that happens, I hope they later let OP know. That would be cool to hear about.
Hi HN,
I kept seeing the same pattern:
Smart people sending dozens of applications. No replies. Not because they’re unqualified — but because inboxes are saturated.
It made me think: employment works because it creates structure.
Clear role. Clear term. Clear deliverables. Clear consequences.
