Hacker News opens its November 2026 "Who is Hiring" and "Who Wants to Be Hired" threads
The recurring monthly HN job-market megathreads went live, filling within hours with company listings and candidate profiles.
What to know
- This is Hacker News's recurring monthly pair of community threads ("Who is hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?"), posted on the first weekday of each month since the site's early years.
- Within the first two hours, companies (Stream, River, Better Stack) posted open roles and dozens of individuals posted structured candidate profiles.
- Listed technologies skew heavily toward AI/LLM integration (RAG, agents, LangChain, Claude Code) alongside traditional full-stack, data engineering, and systems programming skills.
- The threads remain open for ongoing replies throughout November 2026.
