Ask HN: Anyone Land a Job Through FlexJobs? Or Just More AI Hype?

So, has anyone here actually landed a legit job through FlexJobs? They claim their AI-powered system finds you the perfect flexible or remote gig, but from what I’ve seen, it’s mostly recycled job listings wrapped in some algorithmic magic. I’ve also noticed they operate under multiple names—anyone else picked up on that?

If you’ve used it, did it help? Or did you just get a bunch of irrelevant job matches while wondering if you just paid for access to Indeed with extra steps? Curious to hear real experiences—did the AI work for you, or was it just another case of "sprinkle some AI on it and call it innovation"?

Obs: I have no association whatsoever with FlexJobs, as it's not free, I want your opinion before committing to their platform, I guess you can relate to my concern here.
