Reduce the spam you get for your job posting by setting up a micro challenge.

Companies very often include emails on the job page. As a result, you have to browse through spam from recruiters and incompetent people. To filter them out set up a tiny task. Here is an example:

What is the largest 3 digit prime number?
POST json to the server with the answer -> { 'answer': 'xxx' }

How to use it?

1. Use heroku deploy button (requires Heroku account).

1. Change JOB_EMAIL to yours. Change ANSWER and QUESTION if you want to use different challenge.

Different challenges

1. Euler project is a great source of problems
