Who is hiring feedback channel?


The Who is hiring posts discourage discussion of the format/post itself.

"Please only post if..." "Commenters: please don't reply...It's off topic here."

Who runs these/what is the appropriate forum for feedback?

Maybe create a "Tell HN" post; "Tell HN: Reviews on Who's Hiring (March 2024)"

Unfortunately, I doubt most of the posters are interested in feedback. Hiring is a joke. It's almost entirely Credentialism, i.e. "It's not what you know, it's who you know." It's actually disgusting that this has been the case for so long.

It could be a nice way to warn applicants about dodgy or unresponsive posters, but it seems most of the posts are junk.

I found this discussing it somewhat: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39290661

Now we got this kind of thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39634590

Disturbing.
