Lowest “Who is hiring?” Post Count in 30 Months
October 2022 - 408
April 2020 - 608
January 2016 - 471
First time the thread has been under 600 posts since January 2016.
Posts still trickle in throughout the month but the first 12 hours is when the majority of posts show up. I'm sure someone could do a more thorough analysis of post count but the overall number is unusually low.
- bullen 4y agoAnother worrying sign is "remote US only".
- danrocks 4y agoWhy is that a worrying sign?
- bagels 4y agoDownward pressure on wages due to competition with non-coastal wage earners.
- nonameiguess 4y agoSeemingly, non-coastal wage earners are people and still count, and that isn't worrying to them.
- bullen 4y agoBecause if you live elsewhere the positions are not available?
- b20000 4y agoremote just means that you can work from home. you still need to be geographically close to the office.
- bullen 4y agoThat is the point, before most remote was global now they are local. The whole point with remote is the global part. That with the internet anyone can work with anything anywhere.
- b20000 4y agoit doesn’t matter you can work anywhere. companies understand remote as “within 100 miles”. do you really think you are going to be paid CA salaries while being in thailand? not likely to happen.
- asdadsdad 4y agohiring freeze =)
- minimaxir 4y agoSimilar discussion a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31675201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31675201 This thread by myself contains a BigQuery to reproduce the data + a chart of Who is Hiring posts over time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31675750 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31675750 Here's a new chart of up-to-date data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdoOZdo5H2cY_VyiSMXeFSQfBo/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdo...
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoJust wanted to say thank you for collating and sharing this data, I thought it was really helpful and interesting!
- viridian 4y agoWow, I'm surprised the first covid month had such a huge impact, and its even crazier that we're on track to beat it.
- angrais 4y agoDo you have data for the past 12 months rather than only October? That way, we can observe how gradual (or not) the curve was. All data in CSV format would be ideal if someone has it to share via gist or such.
- minimaxir 4y agoHere's a chart from the thread I linked above: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdoOZdo5H2cY_VyiSMXeFSQfBo/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdo... EDIT: I generated a new sheet for the chart with up-to-date data and fixed a data issue noted below.
- angrais 4y agoDoes anyone have any idea _why_ there's a peak in Q1 2020?
- randomdata 4y agoThings that used to be done in person suddenly went online and everyone was in a rush to make that transition happen quickly and smoothly.
- tyingq 4y agoCovid opening up more companies to the idea of remote workers? Or forcing development to fill gaps of processes that used to happen offline?
- minimaxir 4y agoSo that appears to be a fun edge case with that quick SQL query! The spike was in March which was the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States/shelter-in-place, which was a time of odd behavior and so a spike wouldn't be too weird. It turns out that dang posted a special whoishiring soon after which was massively popular: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22665398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22665398 I thought I filtered out nonstandard threads in the query: WITH whoishiring_threads AS ( SELECT id FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.full` WHERE `by` = "whoishiring" AND REGEXP_CONTAINS(title, "Ask HN: Who is hiring?") ) ...but that filter is a regex, and in a regex the `?` is a modifier character and not a literal. So the query will combine the counts of both the top-level comments of that thread and the original one. Data science is fun like that, and surprisingly not the first time I've made that particular query mistake.
- anonu 4y agoIs there seasonality? Like hiring slows down into the end of the year, is my guess. In which case, can you get 10-15 years of HN posts? Then you would need to adjust by user base as well.. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ICNSA https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ICNSA << in fact, Jobless Claims are typically seasonally adjusted. Non-seasonal adjustment indicates claims spike around start/end of the year. The idea being, all else equal, if same amount of people get hired/fired every month, but supply of jobs dips, then claims go up... Conclusion: not enough data points.
- jollyllama 4y agoIt definitely continues through October, though; it usually drops off in December.
- atemerev 4y agoWell, third quarter in the row — now it is finally a recession, or what?
- vuln 4y agoNah, that’s how it was defined historically, it has been changed to be defined in another way in order to influence certain demographics.
- EddySchauHai 4y agoI heard this argument and thought the same, but looking into it there is no standard definition for a recession. Two quarters is a nice layman version people share, but it does involve other factors. This isn't something that's changed recently, economic textbooks from the early 2000s say this too. Just something some people heard and ran with :) When people hear these anecdotes, check yourself! In an era of fake news and bubbles you have to be accountable to yourself by researching if common sayings are really true before sharing them.
- fhsm 4y agohttps://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating https://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoI think GDP growth will be positive in Q3 when it’s announced. Current estimate is like 2.4%
- OJFord 4y agoWho is hiring vs. wants to be hired (top-level) post count disparity could be a fun one to track.
- jamesgreenleaf 4y agoI actually check that sometimes. Anecdotally, I remember the ratio being ~4.5 in 2019, then ~3.5 during the pandemic. This month it's at 1.8 I don't know if it really means anything though.
- RosanaAnaDana 4y agoIt might at least control for changes in the hackernews popularity.
- minimaxir 4y agoHere's the chart for those threads, which isn't too exciting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kqUnALPvgpM6HiK5s-GPs4SXy6nzGQy1-big7jM-N4w/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kqUnALPvgpM6HiK5s-GP... Although I'm not sure why 2019 ushered in much better performance on those threads.
- Ancalagon 4y agoPost-pandemic people wanted to change jobs
- rspoerri 4y agoSo you're saying that the economy was worse in 2016 than it is now? That is the only possible direct conclusion I can read from your research.
- kypro 4y agoYou could both be making more money and have more money in the bank, but if you're worried you might be laid off soon you might not spend as much as you did last year.
- andyjsong 4y agoMy theory, YC software team has been building features like https://www.workatastartup.com/ https://www.workatastartup.com/ and so YC companies are posting less on HN.
- jibe 4y agoOr companies are cutting spending in anticipation of a recession.
- water-your-self 4y agoMost of the titans are in a hiring freeze or have choked non essential hiring.
- MisterSandman 4y agoI don't think those titans posted for jobs on here anyway.
- mountainriver 4y agoThis is the obvious answer
- CabSauce 4y agoOr HN traffic is down. Or people don't hire into the holiday season, or tech is down. There are countless things that could drive that number. We can't tell from a few monthly counts.
- earthscienceman 4y agoNo. It's the answer that fulfills your own confirmation bias. "Obvious" is never a word you should use when you can quantify the truth.
- pessimizer 4y agoNo, it's the obvious answer, so it's less interesting to speculate about than alternative, less obvious answers.
- cahoot_bird 4y agoOn past who is hiring threads I seen posts throughout the month, but in September it seems it only lasted about the first week before new posts stopped. Perhaps the posts were restricted to a certain time frame, or coincidence?
- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoCan we get a "Who is firing?" post going?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- greenie_beans 4y agohttps://layoffs.fyi/ https://layoffs.fyi/
- xtracto 4y agoI like https://www.trueup.io/layoffs https://www.trueup.io/layoffs a bit more because of the stacked chart. I was [pleasantly] surprised that September layoffs were less than half of the ones in the previous month.
- greenie_beans 4y agonice! that's clever. thanks for sharing
- jt2190 4y agoI genuinely don’t understand what the purpose of such a thread would be. * Weird sense of relief? (“At least I wasn’t laid off!”) * Gloating? (“Ha! I knew that wildly successful company wasn’t so great!”) * Determine if a particular company is shrinking headcount? (Seems unreliable at best.) Something else?
- ryanSrich 4y agoI imagine it would serve a similar purpose to fucked company[1] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Company
- willcipriano 4y agoGood signal not to apply. I won't join a firm that has recently had layoffs for obvious reasons.
- harryvederci 4y agoI don't know the intention of the author, but I see like a lot of "Look, it's happening! The economy is going down!" posts pop up these days. Which may be true, but it can also be a self-fulfilling profecy if everyone is doing that on all platforms. Which would be a shame. I'm not saying HN and other platforms should censor (/ take action) either. It's just a thought I have on this subject, and I don't know if there is a solution.
- battery_glasses 4y agoThis could be considered a good thing. The whole point of increasing interest rates is to lower business investment and consumer purchasing power, which is what we need to do to combat inflation (or magically fix all supply chain issues.)
- citilife 4y ago> This could be considered a good thing. Lower wages, lower job mobility, asset deflation, consumable inflation -- YAY! ...
- slg 4y agoIt is still wild to me that this is the approach we are taking, things are getting too expensive so let's shrink the economy. That can't be the best solution. We are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
- xapata 4y agoNot shrink. Slow the growth of. Decelerate is different from stop. The real problem isn't any particular position, velocity, nor even acceleration. Those can all be planned for. It's the 4th time-derivative, jerk, that messes us up.
- slg 4y agoThat is a semantic debate on whether we cross an axis on a graph and we won't know whether that will happen until after the fact. We are intervening to make the economy smaller than if we didn't intervene. I think that qualifies as "shrinking" even if the growth is what is shrinking and not the overall economy.
- killingtime74 4y agoHas anyone actually gotten much success in either direction (hirer/candidate) from these posts?
- jabedude 4y agoI was hired at my current company because I responded to a who’s hiring post almost 2 years ago
- lame-robot-hoax 4y agoI think I posted in one once or twice and had ~3 people reach out to me about roles. One ended up being promising, but I had to pull out for a family emergency that kept me from being able to participate.
- kesterallen 4y agoI get a fair number of good resumes from these threads.
- Minor49er 4y agoI got my current job through one of these threads
- dcatx 4y agoI posted as a candidate in one thread over the summer and got contacted by ~10 companies and did a handful of interviews — a couple were duds with non-technical founders casting a wide net but others were solid opportunities. I also applied to a few jobs from that same month's employers thread and got to the offer stage with one of those companies. I had enough success to try again the next time I am looking for a new gig.
- ketzu 4y agoI posted in "who wants to be hired" a few times, and a few people reached out. About 50% seem to be somewhat targeted to the message. At least one lead to an offer (which I declined for other reasons, it was a fair and interesting offer though). "Who is hiring" never worked out for me, as the geographic limitations are too strict or confusingly worded. Looking through 400 posts to figure out which are actually open to hire someone from europe is not as promising as looking through dedicated job portals.
- maerF0x0 4y agoalso consider the whole chain -- From the layoffs I've observed Recruiters were some of the top laid off roles. Less recruiters means prioritization of efforts. HN Who's hiring is probably a low priority platform. (Recruiter's boss doesn't know what it is, hard to instrument for tracking metrics) If you really want to know how many jobs are out there it's better to index and crawl all the companies jobs page directly. Albeit much much harder to do than a single HN thread per month.
- MattGaiser 4y agoI would be curious to know if Who's Hiring is recruiters or other devs/founders. I always assumed other devs or founders.
- lysecret 4y agoCompanies job pages are very vague estimates of actual offering, especially at startups were everyone is incentivized to post more than existing to look good.
- maerF0x0 4y agoThat is a very good point that I had actually forgotten. Yeah tons of jobs are fake, sometimes to boost how you look, sometimes to fake out the competition (let them overhire and burn up their runway.
- msluyter 4y ago"HN Who's hiring is probably a low priority platform." This has always surprised me. At several companies I've suggested to the hiring folks that they post on HN and I've rarely seen it happen. But IMHO, although you may not get a lot of candidates that way, I would imagine the signal/noise ratio is high, relative to the average recruiting channel. (Would be curious to see that (dis)confirmed.)
- maerF0x0 4y ago> (Recruiter's boss doesn't know what it is, hard to instrument for tracking metrics)
- paxys 4y agoThese are posted every month. If you want to make a point then graph all of them rather than pick out three random data points.
- minimaxir 4y agohttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdoOZdo5H2cY_VyiSMXeFSQfBo/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdo...
- anonygler 4y agoI feel like people are trying to wish the economy into a recession / depression, but I really don't see it happening. I do see some belt tightening wrt SaaS expenditures. There's still a massive demand for labor. While the housing market has fallen, the actual cost of buying a house is still rising. Rate increases have well outpaced the list price reductions. So I think all this talk of a recession is just a bunch of reporters trying to jeer people into that state of mind for clicks.
- kiernanmcgowan 4y agoIt feels like _something_ is happening, but it's not quite the recession that people are fearing. The US is somehow at the lowest unemployment rates we've seen and people are saying it's all going to collapse which just feels off. If the US hits 5% unemployment that simultaneously worse off than where we are but still a solid economic position. My pet theory is that everyone is just tired, so damned tired, and seeps into everything.
- pc86 4y agoTired of (or from) what? With the major exception of the pandemic/remote work, the world is not markedly different than it was in 2013 or 2003. What makes it seems like 2023 is so different?
- warner25 4y agoI read this kind of sentiment often and I wonder the same thing. I mean, I'm much more tired (physically and emotionally stressed) than I was in 2013 or 2003, but I'm also 10-20 years older with 10-20 years of accumulated baggage and responsibilities. I think some people might forget that fact.
- realce 4y ago> the world is not markedly different than it was in 2013 or 2003. What makes it seems like 2023 is so different? Nothing seems to be very different for the last 20 years, which also means things aren't getting any better. That's tiring.
- indymike 4y agoWould be interesting to see this chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdoOZdo5H2cY_VyiSMXeFSQfBo/edit#gid=1857597029 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdo... With traffic stats for HN, so we could see if there was a change in traffic/participation, or something else. My personal thought is that many startups have been advised by investors to trim the sails for less follow on capital for a while, and that results in more conservative hiring. What I'm seeing at the day job (I have a recruiting tech platform), is that non-tech companies have plenty of open tech jobs to go around - and still can't find enough people.
- newbie578 4y agoMind sharing some cool facts regarding your experience from the platform? What is currently in demand, what is desirable?
- newbie578 4y agoI do have to comment that while I see a lot of job postings online (incl. HN), the requirements are going up as crazy. People wanting a Mobile Developer with knowledge both in iOS and Android, and it wouldn't hurt if you knew some crass platform solution also. I see posting with wanting 8+ years in a particular framework or language... Am I the only one who finds that insane? I know that before "the requirements" were more like "wants" and if you are a good candidate, the company will give you a chance, but I have had situations right now where the recruiter would just answer point blank that all of the requirements must be met... How are people with under 2,3,4 years of experience supposed to find a better paying job? God forbid if you are fresh from college...
- Joel_Mckay 4y agoNo one knows what the economic forecast looks like these days, and anyone that thinks they do is fooling themselves. Whats happening in the EU/GB is very real, and uncoordinated inflationary control measures are amplifying issues. Around Q2/Q3 of 2023 we should have most supply chains stabilized again, and a better estimate of actual market demand. Hang on, it is going to be one volatile winter... ;)
- ed_elliott_asc 4y agoThe jobs market goes in cycles, sometimes there are less roles, sometimes there are more roles. Don't fret about the state of the market - you can't do anything and it is irrelevant. Focus on making sure your skills are up to date and you network and put yourself in the best position. If there are a hundred less roles, it doesn't matter if you are in the top 10%, even the top 50% - just be better than average and you'll be fine.
- bee_rider 4y agoActually, what's going on is the job market is waiting to collapse until I've just about finished my thesis. As soon as I really need a job, we're doomed. The problem is, the universe needs to fill in the backstory, so my unexpected delays have messed up it's ability to build the narrative. On the bright side, my laggardly pace may have fended things off until after the midterms. I'll let you all know when I've scheduled my defense so that you can start stockpiling gas, food, ammo, and whatever else.
- MisterSandman 4y agoAs someone graduating in 2024, honestly feels the same way.
- jamisonbryant 4y agoI've thought about tapping into the HN BigQuery dataset (or perhaps the HN API, whichever is more appropriate) to analyze the results of the Who's Hiring posts and their companion Who Wants to be Hired posts. I think aggregation of this data will paint an interesting picture for job-seekers and other technology professionals as to what's hot, what's not, what employers are looking for (and not), as well as other trends. Does anyone know if such a resource already exists? Don't want to duplicate effort.
- sideshowb 4y agoI think this used to exist for stack overflow jobs, probably not up to date though
- seattle_spring 4y agoPresumably enough employers have stopped posting to be statistically significant. I know I did; finding one qualified candidate in a sea of 50 bootcamp grad applicants for an explicitly staff-level position just wasn’t worth the effort. Worse was when I was threatened with an ageism lawsuit because our recruiters didn’t want to move forward with a guy with 10+ <1 year job stints became immediately argumentative in the recruiter phone screen.
- seibelj 4y agoTotally agree - never received a good candidate from here so I stopped trying a while ago. Maybe once and a while I post. Hiring good people is always hard, it’s a full time job for a full time recruiter.
- atraac 4y agoThat sounds like an issue you would have with or without post on HN. How did you solve that and how did it affect your hiring numbers? It feels like HN would at least attract way more technical people than generic job boards.
- seattle_spring 4y agoAs an engineer, I gave up trying to help source candidates. I’ll refer a friend occasionally, but otherwise I don’t do strangers any favors and just let the recruiters do their job.
- kadomony 4y agoThe last quarter of the year is not really a huge time for hiring.. a lot of companies are finishing up their budgets and waiting for new ones to hit to post jobs in the new year..
- DeRock 4y agoIts down >50% year over year (which should be seasonally adjusted): October 2021 [1]: 853 posts October 2022 [2]: 415 posts Not an exact comparison, as some posts will continue to trickle in to Oct 2022, but its still a sharp decline.

- adrr 4y agoDay of the week matters. I didn’t post my job postings because I didn’t look at hacker news on Saturday.
- lnwlebjel 4y agoFor a data centric view on the larger economy and an assessment of leading indicators I highly recommend this blog: https://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2022/09/predicting-next-recession.html https://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2022/09/predicting-next-r...
- fhsm 4y agoI’ve blown a delightful hour on this back catalogue. Any other recommendations? Makes me realize how much I miss the glory days of rss.
- dandigangi 4y agoMinor but I wish it got posted only on business days when it falls on a weekend. I tend to wait until the following Monday but then we usually lost in all the other comments.
- minimaxir 4y ago> This account automatically submits a 'Who is Hiring?' post at 11 AM Eastern time on the first weekday of every month. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring
- verdverm 4y ago> A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month From the FAQ
- gorbachev 4y agoAny analysis such as this should account for seasonality and/or some sort of trending. Not saying the results would different, but just comparing arbitrary dates for this sort of data is not going to give you data to derive any meaningful conclusions.
- alex_young 4y agoLooking at September's Who is Hiring [0] it does look like there are quite a few posts many days into the month. I don't think we can draw many conclusions on this data until the end of the month to be honest. Saying that last month had 536 posts, and that that was a low since June of 2020 seems much more interesting IMO. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32677265 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32677265
- justinlloyd 4y agoNow figure out how many "who is hiring?" threads have been posted on Saturday, Sunday or a national holiday in the US and compares those numbers against any others. Months when the 1st falls on a Saturday or Sunday. May & October 2016 January, April, July & October 2017 April, July, September & December 2018 June, September, December 2019 February, March, August & November 2020 May & August 2021 January, May, October 2022 Whilst I think your numbers are reasonably accurate, and there is "other things going on" to push those numbers down, I don't think they paint the full picture. There is a definite slow-down towards the end of each year.
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoThis months post was made on Oct 3rd
- mmastrac 4y agoWe've had a good run in tech, but I don't think it's necessarily over. While the days of social media and advertising might be limited, there's still a wide world of technological advances that I think can make good businesses.
- 11thEarlOfMar 4y agoDo we know what is happening with HN engagement overall? I assume it's monotonically increasing, but, maybe not?
- enviclash 4y agoThis was the most abundant (to my perception, as I have no numbers) about climate-related work.
- yewenjie 4y agoOne reason is that crypto is down and the flurry of random crypto startups are absent right now. Compare the number of posts in December 2021 for reference, which was peak crypto of recent times.
- omegaworks 4y agoCrypto itself, or at least the bubble, was an unintended byproduct of low interest rates and lax securities enforcement. The low interest environment is intended to spurn the monied rich into investing in productive businesses, but "innovators" instead invented crypto assets and lauded them as the second coming of Mansa Musa, siphoning nearly a trillion dollars out of the productive economy. Clever crypto "innovators" recognized the monied rich's need to feed their insatiable craving for growth without doing any real work. Now that the government itself is providing that outlet, there's no reason for crypto to continue to exist.
- cma 4y ago> Now that the government itself is providing that outlet Inflation adjusted nothing the government is selling is earning other than I-bonds (individual yearly buy limit of $15K). With Trump's energy output restriction deal with Saudi and others expiring inflation may slow, but the situation of gas in Europe over the winter seems poised to keep it up (CPI doesn't include energy directly, but it feeds back in).
- boole1854 4y ago> Inflation adjusted nothing the government is selling is earning other than I-bonds (individual yearly buy limit of $15K). Inflation-indexed long term US treasuries are now earning positive rates of interest. See https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFII30 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFII30 -- it's not necessarily a high rate (currently 1.74% after inflation with a 30-year term), but when you have millions or billions to invest, it's certainly not nothing. > (CPI doesn't include energy directly, but it feeds back in). CPI does directly include energy, including gas [1]. You may be thinking of "core CPI" which excludes energy and food prices.

- tester756 4y agoAren't budgets being made around last/first months, so people wait for it?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- b20000 4y agoi have the impression there are jobs, but they are not getting filled because companies don’t want to pay proper compensation even though there is inflation and there is less supply now than a few years ago. they also still think that people are coming back into an office which is probably never going to happen again except in positions where you really need to because of security or confidentiality or physical access to infrastructure. HR people tend to be delusional and out of touch with reality. we’ll see what happens.
- rdl 4y agoI'm hiring but I'm not sure if I'd post on whoishiring. I find hiring by recruiting specific people I know to be awesome to be much less pain than inbound.
- adoxyz 4y agoDidn't Oct 1 fall on a Saturday? Where web traffic to hacker news is typically much lower.
- freediver 4y agoA better discussion could be about whether these posts actually produce meaningful leads for anyone.
- pkrumins 4y agoinb4 rip economy
- buro9 4y agoI didn't post this time. But I've hired lots and I'm ahead on my hiring plans. A lack of posts can't be interpreted as a lack of hiring.
- typon 4y agoIt may not be a perfect indicator, but here absolutely is some correlation.
- connor11528 4y agoWell it's October 4th. Isn't there the whole month for people to post? We should at least wait until the end of the month..
- sieabahlpark 4y ago
- robertwt7 4y agoThis is actually quite scary, we know that the economy is going down. We're just not sure when will it recover
- drstewart 4y ago>we know that the economy is going down No, we don't know that. If you do, you'll make quite the killing on the stock market.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoBut shouldn't you wait for the entire month of October before counting that number? Presumably "We're hiring" posts could be added through October 31.
- mtmail 4y agoIt's less days. Companies also try regular submissions and I sent some towards the whoishiring threads only to see that commenting is no longer possible. Telling the companies they have to wait 10 days for the next thread to open is a bit frustrating.
- adra 4y agoI don't know what's happening but I'm getting way more unsolicited recruiting requests than I have in a very long time (Sr+swe), so either they're more desperate in bringing in seasoned employees to replace the often lighter pulling entries, or something.
- blurbleblurble 4y agoI want to share that there are at least two jobs I've seen on "Who is hiring?" for almost 9 months. I applied to one of them and never heard back. Can only assume this is an effect of some form of "hiring freeze".
- nickphx 4y agoAre you a time traveler? My calendar says it's 2022-10-04, still 27 days left.
- k2kdev 4y agoWe are hiring and posted in the thread but the post looks like it was shadowban'd. Maybe the filters are just stronger these days? No shortage of demand for devs and growth, regardless of current market conditions..
- schwartzworld 4y agoIt's Q4, lots of companies will open up new roles when new budgets get approved in a few months.
