Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2019)

[+] nartz|7 years ago|reply

Can anyone share anecdotally if companies are reaching out, and the success rate of these types of threads?

[+] itsdrewmiller|7 years ago|reply

FWIW I post in the hiring thread and also review this one for potential candidates. (Found one so far from this month to reach out to, but usually find zero - I think in total we have reached out three times.) We aren't hiring remote-to-start though - if those companies are perusing this thread I could imagine a much higher outreach rate.

[+] drwl|7 years ago|reply

I'm not a recruiter (am an engineer) and try to reach out to people that might be good fits. So far I haven't had any that made it to past the initial screen/job-fit that the recruiting team does.

[+] dver|7 years ago|reply

I posted once in the looking and received a couple of calls from that post. Didn't latch on to anyone, but was good conversations.

Hi, I've been working as a full-stack developer for the last 4 years. Before that I got a BSc and MSc on Computer Science. My thesis involved quite a lot of statistics, which was interesting.[1] I enjoy doing back-end stuff but would also love to get back to some more math/algorithms-intensive software development.

=== I'm looking for any software engineer/developer/devops position but I have been focused on backend/full stack in the past. I'm an US citizen as well as Taiwanese so no VISA is needed for either country. My github where I make random tools that I need but can't find page: https://github.com/sleepingkirby/

I highly recommend butWhyMod browser extension if you're looking into my github page and hate modals in webpages. It tries it's best to remove it all and should get rid of 70~80% of them. Will work on a more fool-proof method if there's enough interest.
