In general, I'm curious if people replying to this thread have had success with applying to HN "Who's Hiring?" listings. At my previous job, at a small company (~50 total employees), posting in those threads was by far our best recruiting tool. While we filtered out a lot of uninspiring resumes, we also responded quickly to people who seemed like a reasonable match.
If I were looking, after exhausting personal contacts from previous employment, that's where I would head next.
- lordnacho 4y agoThis is one of the great secrets of the internet. I've been on both sides of using HN to find work. It's just sooo good.
- itronitron 4y agoI've had the best response rate from the Who's Hiring thread, had about seven phone screens and two or three full interview courses (from contacting in regards to ~10 positions from 2018 to 2020). I haven't applied anywhere since Covid began though so not sure if recent trends are different.
