I've never looked at the "Who wants to be hired" thread until this month's post and I have gotten a low response rate. It's kind of turned me off from looking again. I look very carefully at the person's comment and resume before emailing. Are they happy working in our time zone? Do they have experience in our tech stack? Do they have any preferences we can accommodate? If the role does not meet their hard requirements I do not email at all, and if we don't meet any of their soft requirements I call those out in my email. Despite this only 20% of the people I've emailed have even responded. One person responded that they thought it was a good fit, and one person did not mention the role at all but asked me for my opinion on their resume. Most people did not respond at all. I don't understand that. If I posted in that thread looking for a job and got spam I would ignore it but if someone personally wrote an email that met all my requirements I would feel obliged for some sort of response.
