Ask HN: How effective is monthly Hire me?

I look at hire me thread every month but really there aren't any interesting candidates. Pretty much everyone is nodejs/react type and I need to hire people that can build software to last. If I see anyone mention Arc in that thread I will instantly send a job offer

I posted in today's thread and have received three emails from companies so far. All in my local area.

I also included my linkedin and have received a few connection requests, but no messages from any of them.

It is very high visibility. I posted in the December job thread and received several responses.

Most of those responses occurred in January just weeks before Covid changes and job losses. I talked with several employers. Instead of accepting a new job I chose to instead investigate employment options with the military which likely proved to be a more stable consideration.

I haven't posted there. I imagine it's similar to the who's hiring thread. I was excited to look through them, but seems the postings are usually for senior dev or higher positions. I'm not qualified for that (at least not in a relevant technology), so it's been a pretty disparaging experience for me.

I have been contacted multiple times from HN Hire me threads. I would say the quality of job requirements coming through HN is very good. I ended up doing multiple contract projects with these monthly Hire HN threads.

Saddest part is that if someone declines / folds Your application w/o interview, they are hesitant to provide constructive(good, bad) feedback :/

I've hired off it and found good candidates from it.
