Is this a reference to Flexports hiring ad, also currently on the front page?
- geuis 4y agoExactly what I thought. Not exactly the kind of hiring ad we normally see from YC companies. Left a... gritty taste.
- vz8 4y agoI checked out the site and leadership out of curiosity. Mostly I'm thinking gritty => tenacious.
- Aeolun 4y agoAt the stage Flexport is at I’d really expect them to have raised above needing grit.
- barry-cotter 4y agoMy enduring impression of Flexport is of a job ad posted here years ago which made it clear they were credentialist elitists with no interest in hiring people who hadn’t graduated from the right schools.
- Dirak 4y agoWhen I worked there me and at least 2 other engineers I knew didn't have college degrees and joined at entry level. If a job listing says it requires certain credentials, I've mostly gotten by by just ignoring that and applying anyway.
- ok_dad 4y agoI think they must have a lot of trouble hiring, or maybe they’re a meat grinder, because they advertise here so often, like every week or more.
- dang 4y agoIt no doubt was. We've since changed the title though. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32891461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32891461
