Ask HN: Would you recommend hired.com or similar? The title says it all. What has been the HN community's experience with services like hired.com? I am interested in both the job-seeker's as well as employer's perspectives. Here are some points of consideration: - satisfaction with salary - overall process - good for finding senior roles? |
As an employer- be prepared to make competitive offers. The top candidates are getting interview requests from ~30 employers, including ones with brand name recognition.
So for those of us outside those key areas, or for people only looking for remote work, hired doesn't seem like it adds much value, or am I missing something?
I think it's because I need a Tier 2 visa sponsorship... I do have 5 years of experience and seem to be very employable as I get a lot of recruiters outside hired.
Prediction: All these 'hiring startups' will pop like a soap bubble and leave behind as much once their raison-de-etre vanishes and hiring stops being hot.
It was my first time, and it really helped me gauge myself in the market.
Highly recommended if your skills match-up.
