Several of our applicants can be traced back to the Who's Hiring threads and I'm pretty sure at least one of our new hires in the last few months came from someone who found us via one of those threads. Not 100% sure; I'd have to ask the person on question if my assumption is correct. But we only just started doing this a few months ago. Plus our hiring needs are pretty specific and aren't likely to align well with the majority of HN job seekers for a wide variety of reasons. As such we don't expect a flood of applicants from this venue. We don't need a huge amount of people though, so we're willing to be patient with it, keep posting our ad, and wait for the right handful of people to come along. At the moment our highest ROI recruiting efforts are old-fashioned college recruiting events. We do a few different kinds at a handful of universities near us and found it to be a deep well of talented people eager to break into the field and we have a pretty solid training program to take entry level people and turn them into solidly productive engineers rather rapidly.
