Because then most of us would comment on how the company in question seems to be constantly hiring and thus can't seem to hold on to employees (looking at you, Skio)
Companies like MSFT, Facebook, etc., might be perpetually hiring, but most of the YC companies whose posts we see here certainly aren't.
- solardev 3y agoDoesn't this incentivize companies -- especially newer ones without a solid reputation -- to be both better and more transparent about their hiring practices? It lets the better startups float to the top, and gives the ones receiving more criticism a chance to improve. A simple "Soandso is hiring" does nothing to tell us about the company, and the job descriptions are often not very informative either. I usually get more information out of a Craigslist post...
- salemnazar 3y agoIt is in the best interest of employees to do that, but not the startups. Information asymmetry is an important thing to leverage to maximize investment.
- apsurd 3y agothat's funny, I definitely react to skio hiring posts as well. "recharge migrations" lol like anyone knows what the hell that is. I get that i'm not their target market but it's a hiring post! But, maybe there's no such thing as bad press. (recharge migrations are a shopify subscription solution that's apparently outdated and complicated. skio makes it super easy, and better.)
