This community has its rough edges, like any other, but this thread offers a great place to reach the audience&#8211;software developers, startup aficionados and technologists of all stripes. Here&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ycombinator.com\/item?id=16735011\">April 2018 job thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I find this a bit more credible than the job sites because there&#8217;s community policing and because it expires there&#8217;s less incentive for recruiters or other bad actors gaming the system. Because it is free and specifies only employees of a company may post, I think that the job openings are more genuine. You often see hiring managers post their contact info, and an email to them is far more likely to get a response than submitting to an applicant tracking system. You can often find salary ranges, and the audience and posts are global. It&#8217;s also worth noting that this feeds into some other sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/whoishiring.io\/\">whoishiring.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I have posted on behalf of a few companies for which I worked and have had a decent hit rate. Haven&#8217;t seen any real success numbers though.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are on the market, hiring, or just curious, more data is usually useful, which is why this is always a thread I peruse.
