Hello! Any recommendations for highlighting the fact that we're applying from a HN Who's Hiring post? Like a keyword in the email subject line or body, etc. Thanks for your time!
- cpfohl 10y agoNot with the parents' company, but I've hired and been hired through HN. I don't recommend mentioning HN at all unless it's in passing. It will not help your resume get attention and may contribute to it getting unfairly ignored. HN posts often get a large number of respondents. Stand out by bit by not mentioning it. Alone, it's not a good indicator of your quality as a candidate.
- kayge 10y agoInteresting, thanks for your perspective!
- gibrown 10y agoDoesn't really matter one way or the other. We have hired some great folks in the past who found out about us from HN. Looking forward to seeing your application. Cheers!
