SalamJob is a functioning, regionally active job board in Azerbaijan with verifiable web traffic and an iOS app. While it serves a clear utility in the local labor market, it faces stiff competition from established leaders like Boss.az. The project demonstrates real-world usage (estimated ~100k+ monthly visits based on third-party data), but the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific internal metrics.
