Ask HN: How many applications do you get when you post in whoishiring?

We get a handful when we first post, and a couple trickle throughout the month afterward.

It's probably very variable, but I'm also curious how many responses the people posting to get hired are getting.

Last time we posed something (freelance dev deposition) we got about 4 applications . 1 with no qualifications , 2 with unrealistic hourly rate , ... And one who we hired and working with since.

We got 8 for a remote-friendly frontend dev position.

Posted for a unicorn specialist-generalist in NYC, was pleasantly surprised to get one applicant (who didn't pan out).
