* Best job boards (in terms of highest probability of finding qualified applicants) are r/technicalwriting and https://jobs.writethedocs.org
* Get your company docs culture in order. TWs are sick of company cultures where they have to defend the importance of docs and there are enough quality companies out there now that respect docs (Stripe, etc) where we no longer feel this has to be part of our job. In other words high-quality TWs will sniff out your unhealthy docs culture through interview questions and will quickly pass you up.
* Upwork has high-quality TWs! You'll need to filter a lot to find them though. A very talented TW that I eventually hired got their start on Upwork. In general it's a great place to recruit entry-level TWs that might work very hard and deliver huge value.
Breakdowns of interesting code in the kernel is nice as well such as the SWAR find zero article.
And of possible interviews with interesting questions! There is a huge opportunity to help the flow information to OSS consumers.
And a pony.
Does LWN have a list of its staff published? Just curious.
Currently just Jonathan Corbet and Jake Edge
Maybe something on all the exciting starting to be available with coreboot?
I know we had to do that in California for a while until they cleaned up AB5 issues around treating independent contractors as employees. A lot of CA companies could only hire out of state or face major fines and penalties.

And AFAIUI, they don't really have that much of a problem with actually hiring people a little above the range. It's thought that the labor market pressures of stating too low of a salary range cutting into your talent pool is an appropriate counteraction.
I agree that there's still room for discrimination, but it's a step up from what it was, particularly on the lower end of the scale. I know of a lot of people in the 50k-60k range that were able to increase their salary because of this law.
