I applied for multiple remote jobs through HN "Who is hiring" thread, but barely got any replies. It must have been around 7 or 8 jobs. One company replied, for another one I did a coding challenge given from an automatic reply (but then never heard from them after) and all the others ignored me. Honestly, I am really disappointed in how this is handled by them. It appears like they are looking for candidates urgently, but then do not even react. At least I would expect a rejection (with or without reasons given), but I got nothing instead. It was also not the case that I applied for jobs which did not fit my skill set or experience. In fact for most of them my experience would have been a very close fit.
