Easy Post is the one I’ve seen constantly and consistently over several years. I assume it’s a growth hack where they just constantly have their name in front of HN eyeballs

Don't forget Skio and BuildZoom.

TIL Algolia supports the job tag (it's not in the docs).

  # Using https://gabrielsroka.github.io/webpages/pith.html
  
  u = '//hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=job'
  jobs = []
  for p in range(50)
    ? 'Fetching page', p
    s = await getJson(u + '&page=' + p)
    s.hits.forEach(j => j.name = j.title.match(/(.*?) \(/)?.[1] ?? j.title)
    jobs = jobs.concat(s.hits)
  debug.clear()
  jobs.sort((j1, j2) => (j1.name + j1.created_at).localeCompare(j2.name + j2.created_at))
  ? jobs.map(j => j.created_at + ': ' + j.name).join('\n')
  
  v = jobs.map(j => j.name).reduce((o, n) => (o[n] = o[n] + 1 || 1, o), {})
  v = Object.entries(v).sort((v1, v2) => v2[1] - v1[1])
  
  | Name | Count
  for [n, c] in v
    + n >> c
Yes, they have mastered the system - the company name is apt.

Otherwise, I can't imagine that the benefits from visibility outweigh the reputation damage from posting jobs that are not open.

jerry, svix, lago etc.. clear growth hack :)
