Ask HN: Do the YC companies find good candidates recruiting on HN?
Out of curiosity, I am wondering how many recruits are found on HN versus other means. Does it depend on the region?
I currently work in the Tech Recruitment industry, so I do weigh in from time to time defending the minority in our industry that are some bit decent and I do my best to offer advice on resumes and interviews if and only when asked.
All that considered, I receive at least one or two emails a week from UK based HN'ers who ask me to help them find work and on the odd rare occasion I have had potential clients approach me asking if I could help them recruit for roles they are struggling with.
Now I do sincerely try and keep my day job & HN entirely seperate but the passive opportunities that come my way through this site are a very clear indicator to me that this is a fantastic platform for YC companies to gain access to some incredibly talented staff.
