Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?
Yes. Had a hiring manager reach out to me from a company I already blindly applied to but was in limbo with.Went directly to on-site interview stage after a quick call and am still happily employed here 5 years later.Definitely the most important post I ever made in my life :)I don't think I got any additional recruiter spam around the time of that post. Maybe back then recruiters didn't watch those threads yet?
