I see Who's hiring, but not its typical counterpart.

It was posted but did not stay in the front page for a lot of time.

It seems odd to say the least that what is usually one of the top threads on Ask HN for that day cannot even be found in the Ask HN section. I mean did it get flagged or downvoted?

There haven't really been many people posting jobs, it's been >95% jobseekers for the past several months, so that's probably why.

Is that a trend? Less work for freelancers?

It's certainly a trend for the HN threads, no idea about freelancing in general

I think that's fairly normal? I imagine some people who are looking for a freelancer would rather approach selected freelancers directly, than publish their project publicly.
