I applied to one company based on the posts below and they were very prompt in getting back and was eventually offered an internship there, so yeah, they do take this pretty seriously.

Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.

We post on most of these threads and our batting average for hiring from them is MLB respectable. We have below-average turnover; we're just growing. Every single thread we've posted on has introduced us to candidates we were thrilled to talk to.

HN is our single best hiring vector, both in quantity and quality.

I think you can safely assume that people are getting hired from these threads.

(I think posting the job thread on weekends is counterproductive and don't post in those months).

I got an offer (well, sort of a [paid] trial period type offer, but I believe it was a good fit for both parties) from a company that posted here a few months ago. I ended up declining it and taking a safer option. Kind of regret not taking that offer, actually.

SF/Bay Area, Chicago NowSpots is a venture-backed startup (we've raised an ample seed round) that's taking the pain out of customer acquisition by making it easy for small brands to create really awesome ad campaigns that do more than just look pretty. We're looking for clever devs who understand that the hardest part of building a business is defeating apathy, getting noticed, and connecting with people looking for…

Brad is one of my favorite people. I have more than once (briefly!) found myself wishing I hadn't started my current (successful) company so I could go work with him. The guy is "hustle" personified.

If you're looking, ping Brad.

For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..

Where do I get similar info about capacity for other types of visas?
