Did anybody get a job from "Who is hiring"?
Did anybody get a job from "Who is hiring"?
Yes. I think if you have a nice portfolio and attitude the Who's Hiring and Who wants to be hired are top resources for finding a job in tech (dev/sales/design/etc). Even if you don't get hired, you find a lot of interesting companies and meet a lot of genuine people
Not entirely answering your question, but from the other side. About a year ago, I made a post, we hired somebody, and then after like 3 months they decided it wasn't a good fit and moved on. Since then we haven't really looked for new hires, so we haven't tried again
Yea I've gotten jobs from both the "Who is hiring" thread as well as "Who wants to be hired" thread.
Just realized these HN threads have been my most effective job searching sources
I did! 6 years ago I applied and from an ad and got hired as a Python engineer at a logistics startup in Hamburg.
Yes, I do post in these hiring threads as well as freelancer threads on my personal account every month. I have been working with two companies, and have invoiced them for nearly $200k in the past ~2 years for development and consulting work. One of them is a startup, the other a software shop for startups. All web-dev & api work. In both cases, they reached out to me. I have had no luck reaching out to companies in those threads.
Absolutely, it changed the trajectory of my career into the world of startups and smaller companies. It was somewhat indirect though, I got curious about what the company I read about was doing so contacted them just to talk about their tech. It was a Rails/Ruby shop and I ended up there some time later--accidentally because another job I had lined up had a hiring freeze right after I got through their process.
Yes! Totally changed my career trajectory by getting my foot in the door at a tech-focused company. I owe a lot to the who is hiring thread :)
Yes, my current job and the one prior to this were all found via the "who is hiring" thread.
Searching for my next role now. Hopefully I keep the trend going.
Have been hired, and have hired, off of HN threads
Dream job from it, yes. I also read it every month anyway just to see what companies are doing, and doing it well enough to actually be growing.
It's an economic indicator of "who's growing."
I’ve applied and got hired through a job posting a few years ago.
Yes. Multiple of our engineers found us via "Who is hiring". I found it to be a good way to find people who understand the startup game a bit.
I did, don't remember if it was from the "Who wants to be hired" thread, or the "Freelancer" thread.
Twice. Years ago now. It's probably the best tool to land a job in a startup.
Not yet.being applying off and on here on HN since i guess 2017
Yes, both sides, hiring and hired.
Yep, my first job came from one.
I get the feeling that more than half of the posted jobs are fake.
