Former Hired engineer- do it, it works. Keep in mind (as a candidate), you are in demand, so don't give up that leverage. If you're a great candidate, you'll get a great salary. Also- clear your schedule.

As an employer- be prepared to make competitive offers. The top candidates are getting interview requests from ~30 employers, including ones with brand name recognition.

If I understand it right though, hired focuses on a few key metropolitan areas, like LA, Chicago, Austin, NYC etc. And favors candidates that are wanting to relocate to those cities or already live in them.

So for those of us outside those key areas, or for people only looking for remote work, hired doesn't seem like it adds much value, or am I missing something?
