- svec 11y agoI got a reply right away: Hi Christopher, We posted your job with the aim of getting your iRobot higher exposure among candidates. I know how competitive the market can be, especially for finding great developers. I'll gladly remove the position but, personally, I highly recommend keeping it just to see which candidates the position attracts (at no cost to you). Any CVs submitted are emailed directly to you. Please consider keeping the jobs and posting any future openings that you may have at Nava on Jobsy.com (free). Thanks, Allon Jobsy.com

- gnicholas 11y agoGood to know — I'll be sure to do the same. I've seen other sites that scrape HN job posts, but none that had the balls to send a bunch of spam to the HNers to let them know that their jobs are pending, have been approved, etc. Thanks for your sleuthing!
