I did say that, but then realised that I was actually not doing anything wrong. The thread states:
"Feel free to post any job that may interest HN readers from executive assistant to machine learning expert to CTO."
My current post, which includes actual job openings, abides by that statement. Judging by the # of people that go ahead and click, I'd say readers here are interested in the jobs on WFH.io and therefore I am not doing a disservice by posting.
And what exactly is http://hirerefugees.org ? Whilst I completely commend your involvement w/ that site, it does feel like a bit of a double standard here.
whoishiring gets a one-time pass to promote his refugee site here because (a) he has provided an important service to this site for years, and (b) it's obviously a good cause.
From my understanding, the intent of this posting seems to be about startups connecting with HN readers. With your links, I feel like it's advertising for those companies and these companies aren't genuinely interested in hiring us. If they would be, they would post there. From what I have seen so far, these companies just posted their jobs at your wfh.io and this seems like a growth hack attempt to get traffic on wfh.io.
I personally don't see how my posts are any less applicable than those posted by companies who submit the exact same thing month after month after month. If my posts were irrelevant (or spam) no one would click on them and I'd stop wasting time here. :)
Anyway, the fact that people do click indicates interest, however since all comments here are negative I'll refrain from making any further posts to these threads. I don't want to tarnish the site in the name of getting some additional clicks.
Probably best if that remains the case instead of whatever happened in the last 200 days to make you change your mind.
It goes against the spirit of the thread, which is a company posting that they are hiring. Job boards are spam. Unless you are hiring someone at your company or looking for a job yourself, this thread is of no value to you.
