What has your experience been? I've posted and got a few recruiters and some folks who didn't fit the criteria reach out. No real good leads but I only tried it one time. Curious what other folks' experience has been.
I posted my work history along with what I was looking for in the equivalent job seeking thread along with sending an e-mail to interesting opportunities in the who is hiring threads.
I got a fair number of follow ups and interviews, but ultimately decided to go with a different direction.
I still think that thread is excellent for Europeans like me to search for jobs abroad.
I wouldn't say full success as I didn't actually get a job, but I got deep into interviews that could have led to very good jobs. The progress vs effort ratio is by far the best of any channel.
The first month had no response, but after fixing my copy and posting soon after the thread opens, I got a lot of good responses.
It's particularly good if you're not in a tech hotspot like Silicon Valley, but want to look for other jobs that might be regionally targeted.
I got hired by one company advertising on who's hiring, been there for 6 months now. Very happy! They told me that the threads are gold mines for good candidates, because 99% of the people who apply on LinkedIn or through their websites are really bad.
I don't have any experience from the hiring side, but I got my current job from applying to a position from the 'who's hiring' thread that sounded interesting. Just passed my 2 year anniversary there and I've been loving the work.

You have to play around with it a little bit, just like you need to train interviewing for jobs.
Someone out there is always looking for help, so make yourself easy to find.
