@dang Righto - so will you consider asking companies to include some of this information? It's basically impossible to compare job opportunities without it. If you see two similar postings, but one has a 6 week process with unpaid projects and the other is 3 weeks with whiteboarding and past project reviews, it really helps with your job search to be able to compare. Without this information, we're all flying blind.

Yes, I'd consider that as part of doing some more systematic work on the Who Is Hiring threads, and on the whole HN approach to jobs and hiring in general. It could all clearly be done in a way that was more valuable to everyone, probably an order of magnitude more valuable, which would be a nontrivial thing.

This is definitely near the top of our list of long-term intentions. It's not at the top, though. First there are some major technical projects that need to get out. Those should enable a next version of the API. After that I'd say the hiring stuff is probably #1.

Thanks for the response. Appreciate that you're working on it. Good luck. Let me know if you want some help :)
