This is completely shameless. Several of the commenters here, such as "onewong", are sock puppet accounts for the company. See him/her previously giving "good job!" type comments to esharef (the founder). Other account with a similar comment created just for this post. A Y Combinator company manipulating HN with shill accounts? Really?

    Yep, it's embarrassing and really unnecessary as HireArt sounds like a good idea and appears to be well executed. If you look back at many of their posts, there's at least one newly created account and a few reused accounts adding very little to the conversation, just espousing the company.

GREAT to see Hireart making moves. I've used them in my job search in the past and have always had an awesome experience.

I just checked out the website. So it doesn't have any jobs in programming/development/engineering?

Hey Baltcode, This is Elli, Co-Founder at HireArt. We actually only do jobs for non-technical hires (marketing, business development, sales, operations, etc)

Thx for checking it out!

Great platform update

hydralist

this is truly a shameless advertisement in the form of a news article. throwing in a discount code at the end to put the cherry on top.

This is a great improvement. Good idea to offer the coupon...
