Title: Back in 2011, an HN user volunteered to consolidate the scattered &quot;who is hiring&quot; posts that were popping up and post one automatically at the start of each month. This not only worked well, it became an HN institution.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2391828<p>Four years of yeoman service later, our mysterious benefactor has gotten a lot busier and arranged with us to take over the account. I asked if we could thank him publicly and he said sure. So thank you, Matthew Walsh-Cloonagh! You&#x27;ve helped a ton of people get jobs, and made Hacker News a better place. We&#x27;re all much obliged.<p>Any thoughts about &quot;Who is Hiring&quot; and related threads that any of you want to share? Fire away.<p>Edits, based on the discussion below:<p>I think we&#x27;ll change the time of these postings to 11 AM Eastern time. This balances east and west a bit better, and has the practical advantage that when something goes haywire with one of them, the problem won&#x27;t languish for hours before we fix it. (If anybody posts before 11 AM Eastern tomorrow morning wondering where the thread is, or tries to make one, please refer them here.)<p>We&#x27;ll also make the posts show up on the first weekday of each month, instead of each day—but that won&#x27;t make a difference until August.<p>Finally, we&#x27;ll make it more explicit that to post a job in the thread you need to personally be part of the hiring company, not a recruiter or third party.
