I got my first real tech job back in 2012 this way (thanks, mek and stephen). When that company went under I got my second real tech job this way, too (thanks marek and marc and rene).
If I ever want to find a job outside my network my first stop will be the whoishiring post. Thanks, HN.
While I was in school, I once got an internship through an HN monthly hiring thread. (Though this was a couple years ago, when the job market was probably a bit better.)
I got a few good freelancing clients off the “seeking freelancer” thread back when I was contracting. The last one ended up being $100 / hour for a long term gig lasting over a year, which was great money for me at the time.
I got hired a few years ago by emailing a contact in a "who's hiring" post. Still working there, and it's a great job! A big step up from my previous role.
I did! Back in 2020, I found a job after 6 months of job search thanks to that thread. A very well paid job as a PM for a remote-first startup after PMF.
yes, see prev comment. The training set data from this thread will be really fascinating as it has huge sample of writing from all the handles involved, with an indicator of landing some pretty serious roles. Classing out my ML talent hunter script now...

In the past two years, my employer has hired 6 people through the monthly "who's hiring" post... there is some seriously good talent here!

I reached out to about 5 companies between January and February on "Who is hiring?" and landed a job through that. Great company.
