Retrospect is a wonderful thing. I won't be posting on Who's Hiring again although for the record, out of those that contacted me, I have already arranged interviews for three of them and there are potentially more to come so at least those that read my post in a positive light might actually get something out of it.
I hope I didn't seem like I was piling on, and I wasn't annoyed by your post in the first place -- just thinking in terms of the general trend I'd like to see in these threads. Cheers.
No I do understand your point. I have contacted the HN team to see if there is an option to pay for a formal job post but they don't want to start a trend of recruiter advertising which is understandable.
It was an interesting experiment and instead I may just set up an opt-in monthly mailing list exclusively for HN'ers with opportunities that I feel would be of interest. More on that later.
