Hey there. I've applied to your open RoR dev position, like, a bunch of times- and have not once even heard back. No rejection, no update, no nothing. Is this offering real? I'd still like to throw my hat in the mix but am not sure what the next step is when there's no feedback loop?

It is real. I am the CTO and co-founder of Aha!, and also personally interview every engineer we hire.

A human reviews every job application we get, but unfortunately we can't respond to them all - we get thousands - but most of the applications are not related to the position requirements at all. I can tell you that if your resume matches what we are looking for then we typically schedule an interview within a few days. I see that you posted this same comment previously. Commenting was already locked by HN by the time I saw it then.

Why do I keep posting on HN? It works. The profile of engineers we have hired for our team, and the sorts of engineers who read HN has a great overlap. There are other things we look at too. Your Github profile is really important: people who contribute to open source have demonstrated their ability to work on a distributed remote team, but even more importantly it gives you a way to show that you can tackle interesting problems in interesting ways.

Why don't you guys at least send rejection emails instead of ghosting people? Seems like that would be the "lovable" thing to do.
