Ask HN: Have you landed a project via “Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer?”
How useful are the monthly "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" posts?
If you have posted as a freelancer, have you received offers of work? Or, as an employer, have you found a freelancer you liked?
The most recent, for August, is at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8120079
- infincia 12y agoYes, it's invaluable. I run a consulting firm in Ohio (http://infincia.com http://infincia.com). We build and maintain new and existing iOS and Mac apps, and create highly available server backends for them. Everything from short term contract requests to full employment offers at well funded startups in SV have hit my work email address, specifically mentioning the freelancer thread in the initial conversation.

- tstegart 12y agoI have hired a freelancer for a small project from that thread, and it went pretty awesome.
- egor83 12y agoYes, but not exactly via "F? SF?" thread. My situation was a bit unusual, so I posted here on "Ask HN" separately, got in touch with a startup founder and worked for him for 9 months - it went great. During that time we also worked with another guy from HN for a few months - and he got in touch via "F? SF?" thread directly. So yes, it is possible to find work here on HN.

- cookiecaper 12y agoIt's not really fair for me to comment since I have only ever posted in one such thread and I did get a few interesting conversations out of it, but there is a lot of strong competition on HN. I wouldn't go in with high hopes.
