Hacker News' monthly "Who is hiring?" post for July 2026 invites employers to list job openings. Posts must come from hiring company employees, specify location and remote/onsite status, and be limited to one per company. The thread also provides links to third-party search tools for job seekers.
Background
- "Who is hiring?" is a monthly thread on Hacker News (HN), a social news site focused on tech and startups run by Y Combinator. On the first business day of each month, HN posts a single thread where companies can advertise job openings in the comments — no recruiters, no job boards, one post per company. It's one of the most respected tech job boards in the English-speaking world, especially for software engineering, product, and startup roles.
- This is the July 2026 edition. Companies post location details (remote, on-site, or hybrid), a short description, and contact info. The format is informal but strictly moderated: off-topic complaints, recruiter posts, and non-hiring comments get flagged or removed.
- The thread is paired with a parallel "Who wants to be hired?" thread where job seekers post their own profiles. Together they form a de facto community-run labor market for tech talent, particularly valued by engineers who prefer to avoid the noise of LinkedIn or traditional job boards.
