Fifteen Years of Who’s Hiring
A searchable atlas of Hacker News’ monthly “Who is hiring?” threads, with views of hiring volume, remote work, stated pay, roles, companies, and locations.
- For
- Mid-career job seekers researching hiring patterns
- Worth noticing
- Pay figures use stated USD range midpoints; the page explicitly warns this is not a salary survey.
Field notes
Eight sections organize the material by month, remote status, stated pay, role families, recurring companies, the current thread, searchable posts, and locations. The page defines its measures: remote share excludes posts that say nothing about location, while pay uses posted USD-range midpoints and is explicitly not a salary survey. Joe Wilson says he built it with Claude in one sitting; parsing is heuristic, and records link back to source posts.
