But unfortunately, the business model of the feature was not sustainable for Stack because of the investment it would have taken to make it competitive with other job sites.

The primary advantage of the Stack Overflow job site was that most employment agencies and HR departments did not know about it, so when a job was posted it was likely that had been posted by a developer who was part of the team you would be going to work on.

Likewise unlike other job sites, posting a job on stackoverflow did not lead to 100s of phone calls from agents offering candidates.

Hence it would lose all value from being "competitive with other job sites".
