GoKawiilHacker News opens November 2026 'Who is hiring?' thread
Hacker News posted its monthly 'Who is hiring?' thread for November 2026, where companies can list open positions directly as comments. The guidelines ask posters to specify location and remote policy, represent only companies they personally work for, and commit to responding to applicants. A companion thread, 'Who wants to be hired?', was also linked for job seekers.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
These recurring Hacker News threads serve as a long-running, informal barometer of hiring activity in tech, often reflecting which sectors and company types are expanding or pulling back on recruitment. Because postings come directly from employees rather than recruiters, the thread can offer a more direct signal of real demand than aggregated job boards, though it remains anecdotal rather than a formal survey.
- Hacker News hosts a monthly thread for companies to post open roles as comments.
