Earlier quoted context omitted.

Past experience is that meta posts about how the hiring threads should be organized, what the posts should say, how companies should comport themselves, etc., tend to take over the thread if allowed to, so we treat them as off topic.

@dang Righto - so will you consider asking companies to include some of this information? It's basically impossible to compare job opportunities without it. If you see two similar postings, but one has a 6 week process with unpaid projects and the other is 3 weeks with whiteboarding and past project reviews, it really helps with your job search to be able to compare. Without this information, we're all flying blind.

Yes, I'd consider that as part of doing some more systematic work on the Who Is Hiring threads, and on the whole HN approach to jobs and hiring in general. It could all clearly be done in a way that was more valuable to everyone, probably an order of magnitude more valuable, which would be a nontrivial thing.

This is definitely near the top of our list of long-term intentions. It's not at the top, though. First there are some major technical projects that need to get out. Those should enable a next version of the API. After that I'd say the hiring stuff is probably #1.

I know it's frustrating not to get a response, but this comment breaks the rules at the top of the thread. Please don't do that here.

Well, I’m not complaining, I’m suggesting an automated reply to notify people that their stuff was submitted. Which is how things usually work when you submit through a recruiting portal. I’m not complaining about the processing “speed”.

That wasn't clear in your comment. I read it more as a snarky way of complaining that you applied and didn't hear back.

I agree with you that job applicants should get responses.

No salary in the offer is a red flag in my book

It's an East African company, rationally speaking they can't offer SV salaries.
