I'd say that about 70% of our recent hires came from the monthly HN threads, and among first-interview invitees the % may well be even higher. Somehow the average quality of applicants via HN is way higher than via other platforms and I don't know why. Sidenote: we're not a big company, we hire single-digit new people per year. I have no idea how to scale this success up, ie if we'd advertise way more aggressively elsewhere the % would likely go down.
