Is there any threads for people located in Europe only, Switzerland more precisely?
ps. It's hard to find skilled people & vice-versa so this could really help

#22I had kind of the opposite experience; interviewed one or more times with a bunch of the "Who's hiring" companies and only one had the decency to send an email with an update; the others went into radio silence.

None of the whoishiring threads are location specific, but if you're open to remote, these may help you find a good remote fit.

#24When I saw Jerad's post on Hacker News, he looked like a good fit for a developer role at Kaggle. Our team interviewed him remotely and I met him in person and verified that he has the talent, curiosity, and life-long interest in software development that'll make him a great addition. We're really excited to bring him aboard.
Thanks HN for helping us make a rare find!
P.S. If you're into machine learning and/or have an interest in developing a great site for a community (like Jerad), we're always looking for more to join us: http://www.kaggle.com/careers

This is what I like about the "Who wants to be hired?" threads. You're more likely to get relevant hits because (hopefully) the prospective companies are reviewing your skills before reaching out.

#30I too had a good experience and had the opportunity to speak with many interesting people... however the only thing lacking was the visibility of my preferences. I wasn't surprised that the majority of people who contacted me were from SF but everyone who had seemed oblivious to the fact that I'm based in Canada, not interested in relocating, but love to work remotely.
If we do another thread I will certainly try again (still looking).
