Hey, while we have you here, nicely buried at the bottom of the thread where it's safe to go off on a tangent:

What would it take to convince you to post the Hiring thread on the first weekday of every month?

A hiring thread posted on a Sunday seems like a waste to me.

Thanks for keeping up with this stuff, by the way!

Can't claim ignorance:

I did say that, but then realised that I was actually not doing anything wrong. The thread states:

"Feel free to post any job that may interest HN readers from executive assistant to machine learning expert to CTO."

My current post, which includes actual job openings, abides by that statement. Judging by the # of people that go ahead and click, I'd say readers here are interested in the jobs on WFH.io and therefore I am not doing a disservice by posting.

I fixed the posting to avoid this pretext for ignoring the intent of the thread: "Please do not post recruiting firms or job boards."
And what exactly is http://hirerefugees.org ? Whilst I completely commend your involvement w/ that site, it does feel like a bit of a double standard here.
whoishiring gets a one-time pass to promote his refugee site here because (a) he has provided an important service to this site for years, and (b) it's obviously a good cause.
Fair game.
