#2There are "Who's Hiring" threads in which you can post, if posting directly to Jobs is not allowed.
These threads happen ~monthly.
You can also post to the "Who's Hiring" threads on Quora which get good visibility.

Yes, I agree there is a lot of noise on the board already. I've been meaning to post a solution I thought of for it.
Ok. I'll keep an eye out for that Who's Hiring post that should go up today, right?!
