This is a thread where prospective employers look around for qualified candidates.

You post your stuff, you potentially get contacted.



Heads up, the quality of responses to recent threads has taken a nose dive lately. I posted in the latest month's thread, and I'm starting to see a couple of bad effects:

1. Recruiters who send a canned response to every email in the thread (my post very specifically outlined what technologies I have experience with, mostly Python and Django, but now I'm getting offers for iOS jobs. The recruiters responding aren't bothering to read the posts).

2. Startups who respond trying to sell me their shiny 'get hired' app. These people need to know that this isn't what "Who wants to be hired?" is for.


I agree, however I think you've mistaken me for a site administrator--not your fault, given my name.

It's just a name, I have no power here.

The user you want to ping is dang.

I don't expect him to be able to prevent what you don't like, though.


Thanks. Yeah, I thought you were an admin. Sorry. But it's really not about "what I don't like", it's about making HN better. These people are not using "Who Wants To Be Hired?" correctly according to HN.
