Ask HN: “Who is hiring” from freelancer/agency side. Is there a demand?
Every month there is a tread on HN "Who is hiring?" where companies post open vacancies.
I was a freelancer in a past and now I am running an agency (which I know is not very popular among HN community), so I see this market from the other side: I know there are
people like me looking for jobs and projects, and who are willing to post their portfolio.
So what do you think, is there a demand for a thread where one could post about skillset, experiences and competences of themselves or their agency? If so, what would be the best name?
Thanks
- PhilipDaineko 8y agoMy personal opinion is yes, there is. I would like to post expertise and case studies of my company and be contacted, instead of contact companies myself.
- mtmail 8y agoWe already have a monthly "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17902902 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17902902 thread which is distinct from the "Who is hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?" threads (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring). It gets relatively few upvotes which might indicate less demand.
