Ask HN: What kind of post is the “Flexport hire” story

1 points by jdmoreira 3y ago ↗ HN

So I noticed this story on the front-page "Flexport is hiring smart people who want to work hard"

Which is not a normal HN post or story. I literally looks like a sponsored post or publicity.

I can't interact with it in any way except hiding it.

What's happening here? Maybe @dang can add some clarity.

Flexport is partially funded by Y Combinator, aye? Special post type, likely.

flexport is a ycombinator company. they get ‘special’ treatment wrt job ad placement.

see ‘Can I post a job ad?’ in the faq for more information.
