Ask HN: Please stop putting “(We’re hiring!)” in your LinkedIn position title?
I just want to go on record and say I find this to be an insufferable exercise in virtue signaling. Has anyone ever read this in a job title and applied to the company because of it? Or is it just a way to show that you have hiring power? If you’re a founder who does this, please stop. If you’re not a founder and you’re doing it, consider getting a tattoo of your company logo instead.
Sorry, rant over. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Please don’t do this there.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoSo, actually the Ask HN should have been Please don't put (We're Hiring) in LinkedIn job title. I actually had some trouble parsing what you said, as I thought of job title as the title of a job post, but you actually mean it as being part of a person's Job, in other words Position, title.
- TechBro8615 6y agoTrue! Rant title edited to clarify target of rant :)
- karmakaze 6y agoI'm on the fence about this one. On the one hand I don't like it the same way I don't like "Open" signs that never turn off. On the other, if hiring fell under my responsibility and had any uptick in applicants, I'd want to use it.
