On: Ask HN: Post-Mortem for "Who wants to be hired"

[phantom_oracle]

The thing nobody has mentioned is how this "Who wants to be hired" is different to the "Seeking freelancer? ..." post where freelancer say they're "seeking work" and provide their skills.

Obviously there are differences between a freelancer and a full-time employee, but it could be possible that many of those freelancers wouldn't mind taking on 9-5 contract jobs over many months.

Any opinions?

I never thought to post there because I'm not looking for freelance work, period. Sure some still post there, but how many companies looking for full-time developers are looking there?

I would think the success rate in that thread for full-timers is pretty low.

Good point.
