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.

That's the case for Factual. We have perma-openings for software engineers and are always trying to find additional great people to work with. I've been posting to HN monthly for about a year. I get responses from 2-10 HNers each month and several have been hired at Factual. About 20% of our technical hires in 2011 were people who came from HN. I wondered about whether a similar post each month would be useful. I've…

Our experience at MyEnergy has been nearly identical in both absolute numbers and proportions.

Folks who frequent HN tend to be "our kind of people," so I make it a priority that somebody from the team posts the latest every first of the month.

My employer (LucidMedia Networks) still is growing so I keep posting. Simple as that.

I'm not sure how many applicants apply to the companies listed, but I think our application quantity might be lower than average. Could be location (not SF, NYC, Boston), tech stack, low profile . . . not sure. There isn't feedback on the posts. Oddly, we also sometimes get posts from HNers outside the US, but we never advertise for them.

We've hired a full-time dev (myself) and an intern who just started recently from the pool of HNers. These things do work (and I state this in the post monthly).

Reston, VA (west of Washington, DC) - FULL TIME, INTERN, CONTRACTOR (H1B if you're already in the US)

Lucidmedia Networks - http://www.lucidmedia.com

Internet ad network looking primarily for Java developers (experience with [My]SQL and front-end web experience would be great too). The Internet advertising industry is quite complex behind the scenes and somewhat parallels the structure of the financial markets. We are analogous to a high frequency trading firm, buying page views to serve ads in real-time on exchanges like that of Google or Yahoo. Our server software runs on Spring, MySQL, Redis, and AWS at a glance. We handle about a billion page impressions a day. Big data, big throughput.

Small yet experienced team, catered lunches _everyday_, your choice of Mac or PC (dev team is almost all Mac now), good benefits. Our office has superhero posters all over the walls.

Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.

From HN, we've hired an intern and full-time dev (me). These posts do work!

Inkling, San Francisco, CA

Inkling is a publishing startup. We are a new medium, the future of books and publishing (currently with a focus in textbooks on iPad); our platform is so good that completely leaves ebooks in dust, and even most major publishing houses are invested in us.

We are pretty much hiring in ANY POSITION - from the JavaScript/Python/Scala/iOS to UI/UX design to marketing to product management to interns. We are Sequoia-backed and just recently secured another round of $17 million funding.

The team is lean and flat. Located in the downtown SF, TV-celebrity chef in house, best gym in town, plus generous salary and options.
