Don't base a significant career move based on other peoples perception of the companies involved. Choose the company that will offer you the best long term prospects and variety.

Used Workable, Greenhouse and Lever extensively over the past few years and my recommendation would definitely depend on the size of your company. If you're fewer than 200 people, then I categorically recommend Workable. Anything large

That's primarily down to the fact that those boards require companies to identify themselves as a recruitment agency when they first sign up and more often than not, agencies 'forget' to do so knowing it'll get more eyes

Companies should provide constructive feedback to any candidate that invests time into a test or an interview process but the reality is that the majority don't. Most will state that it's too laborious to provide individual feed

Hey foob. The level of detail in your post is great. Any plans to research things like optimal posting times?

Any time I've reached out to dang ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang ) via email, he's always been responsive and super helpful and pretty transparent. Moderating HN isn't an enviable task IMO.

I'm a HR/Talent professional based in London and I can assure you that those questions should be avoided at all costs regardless of your geographic location.

Correct. There are a bunch of reasons to avoid it but two very tangible reasons are: 1. It makes you susceptible to bias. Say a candidate reveals that they love volunteering at their local church group and it becomes evident that they hold

Often the reason you see the same job posted continuously is due to the company hiring multiple people for the same role. If you got no response the last time, the best thing you can do is identify a relevant member of the hiring team on Li

Apologies. Wasn't intended to sound sarcastic. I genuinely do believe that HN is the perfect place to find great people but it's still incredibly difficult and if you're hiring at scale it can be super tough to engage enough
