I think a lot of people don't post on who wants to be hired and instead just browse who's hiring.

- TheGeminon 4y agoThats also balanced by the fact that many postings are for multiple positions (though I would probably still tip it towards more job seekers)
- muzani 4y agoI did both but had much better responses on WWTBH. A lot of the companies that approached were really good, paid well, respectful, etc. Funny enough, I had actually applied for one of those companies elsewhere and they didn't process the application until they realized I was on HN.
- Atlas22 4y agoThanks for sharing this, I always figured the contacts in WWTBH would be mostly low quality (similar to recruiter spam) so never bothered before. But now that I actually think about it some of the best jobs I've ever had were companies that approached me.
- zeven7 4y ago> they didn't process the application until they realized I was on HN I have been on the other side of that. I hired guy I found on HN (one of the best guys I've ever worked with) and later discovered he had applied earlier through another source but I overlooked it (some sources for candidates can be an absolute fire hose).
- jonpurdy 4y agoSimilar, last time I was looking (2020) I posted in both and had good responses from quality companies. Basically any HN thread has yielded vastly better opportunities than anywhere else (direct apply, linkedin, etc).
