Ask HN: Do people get hired from 'Who wants to be hired' thread?
- DavidPastrnak 3y agoI landed my first role out of college from the hiring threads and still happily employed at the company.
- janosdebugs 3y agoRelated: I got "hired" from the who's hiring thread for a B2B contract. It's worth looking and applying, there's good stuff there.
- 082349872349872 3y agoYes.
- kretaceous 3y agoDefinitely. I've got interviews (and an offer) in the past. I got hired by my current employer from a "Who's hiring?" thread.
- avmich 3y agoI suspect some selection bias here, so my datapoint is "tried multiple times, didn't get anything useful out of this". Once contacted company which happened to be geographically close to where I live. Eventually they said they had a "tremendous influx of candidates for that position", so for me it didn't work out. It's easier to get to talks in "work for a startup" program - I think that's because that program is more structured, not just "looking for work/looking for workers" generic board.
- edgyquant 3y agoI can confirm I got my last job via the CTO reaching out to me on work at a startup.
- isuckatcoding 3y agoWe need a “Poll HN:” feature
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoThere is one.
- Mockapapella 3y agoI did. Ended up working at a startup that got bought out by big tech.
