Please stop. The way you're posting is not helping - it just makes things worse. We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46110145 .

If the mods aren't going to enforce the rules what other options do we have? Serious question. This ad has been posted in 11/12 threads this year. Perhaps there should be a cooldown on the same posting after 3 months? Job applicants are under enough stress as it is, they shouldn't be fooled into wasting their time applying to ghost jobs.

Hi! I happened to see this post before it was detached.

For a bit of additional context: we hire for multiple roles and have actually hired multiple people through these threads :)

We review every application by hand and get back to every single applicant, usually within 72 hours, despite thousands of LLM-generated spam/fraud applications. It takes a tremendous amount of time and energy, but we do it because we know how much time and energy candidates invest in applying to our open roles.

If you previously applied and didn't hear back, please shoot me an email so I can look into it: jared.silver@brilliant.org

How do you propose that we enforce it, even if we had the resources to do so? We can't tell which job ads are real and which ones aren't, just as we can't tell which posters in "Who Wants to Be Hired" are real and which one's aren't. There's a lot of fraud and heartache on both sides of this transaction right now. Sorting wheat from chaff is an unsolved problem. To work on that, we'd have to become specialists in it, which is not going to happen.

If you want, you could take a look at some of my past explanations about this as well - they're listed in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45094610. If you do that, and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.

Not gonna lie, this is the kind of work that makes the internet the hostile place that it is today :(

Many community members agree with you about this, of course, but it's still off topic in this thread (please see the rules at the top).
