My last job hunt I interviewed at around 10 places, and I think 5 or so came from HN posts. I ended up taking a job from a non-HN post, but found basically all of the HN hiring posts to be more transparent in the initial contact to interview phase.
Getting interviews at other companies involved more networking, i.e. finding an actual person to contact or reference me first, before getting the interview. On the HN posts I more or less just emailed the person listed on the HN submission and had an interview shortly after
(Had about 8 YOE at the time in full stack dev, for context)
