I utilise HN as a resource to stay in touch with what is happening at the core of the tech industry and more importantly, to keep me inspired and motivated to get my own start-up launched. One thing I never use HN for is soliciting candidates or clients.
I currently work in the Tech Recruitment industry, so I do weigh in from time to time defending the minority in our industry that are some bit decent and I do my best to offer advice on resumes and interviews if and only when asked.
All that considered, I receive at least one or two emails a week from UK based HN'ers who ask me to help them find work and on the odd rare occasion I have had potential clients approach me asking if I could help them recruit for roles they are struggling with.
Now I do sincerely try and keep my day job & HN entirely seperate but the passive opportunities that come my way through this site are a very clear indicator to me that this is a fantastic platform for YC companies to gain access to some incredibly talented staff.
