Tell HN: Massive amount of spam from "Who Wants to be hired"

5•0xmattf•1h ago
Hey everyone,

I've previously had some success with these threads, but the last 2-3 times I've posted in them, my inbox has just been flooded with spam. Even more so on this last one.

I don't understand why people would think it would be a good idea to spam the people in these threads. People looking for work are already stressed out. You really think you're going to get a good response promoting your brand new Claude generated job board? You think people want to join your community of job seekers so you can promote products to them? Come on. This is a good way to absolutely destroy your reputation.

Then the clearly fake recruiter39923243323@gmail addresses offering to "work together".

My god, those threads are dead to me. I will never post in them again, and I suggest others not to as well.

Sadly I think it's any job board that can be easily scraped these days, have had very similar results when posting Reddit "for hire" listings
