We agree that companies should reply to applicants, but please don't break the rules at the top of Who Is Hiring threads.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45093824.

p.s. Here's a bunch of past mod explanations about this, if anyone wants to understand why we have this rule:

  • How are companies allowed to post the same posting for the same roles month after month? If they are not able to find great candidate fits in this environment, and their employee counts are not moving on LinkedIn / crunchbase etc for months, can they get blacklisted from using this? I have seen several of these companies post again today

    • We're not in a position to police that. We don't have the resources.

      Even apart from that, I'm not sure how one could distinguish legit from non-legit cases, short of raiding company offices.
