Can Recruiters post on Dev.To too?

I apologise in advance for being blunt, but:

If it's useful for developers and it's technical (high or low level), then yes.
Otherwise, God no!

The reason why I check dev.to regularly it's because it's not full of recruiters pretending to be techy and trendy but in the end they just want CVs to spam.

Thanks for your feedback Carlos

Will avoid trying to be trendy for sure if I start posting on here a bit... and try and share stuff which is more technical

I'll echo what a few others have said that it's fine if it's technical or technical career content that adds value, it's fine.

Otherwise, if it's job listing or trying to recruit someone to join a job postings site, the main dev.to site isn't for that, but listing may be a good fit.

Salut Tris.
Il n'y a pas de règle sur qui est autorisé à écrire ici.

C'est comme partout, il faut connaitre son public et produire du contenu qui soit pertinent et utile.
Celui qui fait cela est le bienvenu, qu'il soit développeur, recruteur ou boulanger.

Celui qui fait l'inverse devrait prendre en compte que nous autres les développeurs avons un détecteur à bullshit relativement sensible, donc un boulanger, un recruteur ou un même un autre développeur qui viendrait ici avec ses grosses ficelles risquerait d'être vu de travers.

Donc voilà un recruteur peut certainement poster ici, mais si il fait ici le même genre de post qu'on voit sur LinkedIn, je ne suis pas sûr qu'il va aimer l'expérience.

Community Mod here :)

Submitting a job ad as an article isn't ideal as folks are generally expecting to read full posts with some actionable info or discourse (i.e. tutorials, editorials, tool lists ,etc).

However, DEV Listings is perfect for this. Consider sharing your sharing job Listings here - dev.to/listings/jobs and perhaps you'll have better luck. Also, you might want to check out - dev.to/listings/forhire for potential candidates to reach out to.

Hope this helps!
