Very cool. Is there a way to have a notion of a session, saving state between runs?

We work in this space and have found that, very often, the realities on the ground do not match the digital information, especially when it comes to geospatial data, where businesses exist, what businesses actually exist, and their status. At Rwazi, we have millions of users helping collect on-the-ground data.

I collect data from "Who wants to be hired" threads. This month is one of the highest in years.

Interesting. Im looking for solution to run multiple OpenClaw bots in the cloud, with security and isolation in mind.

Very interesting. LLMs open up space for transforming unstructured raw data into visualizations and dashboards. I made something just looking at “Who wants to be hired” posts.

Is there a good way to enable this model within VSCode, looking for something like Copilot?

Thank for sharing your work. I tried running your model via Thinker but it didn't seem to work.

Is there a skill directory that can be browsed by a human?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I’ll be adding a “Who’s Hiring” section. “Wants remote” is one of the questions people answer when they post in the "Who Wants to Be Hired" thread.

Show HN: HireIndex – 3 years of "Who Wants to Be Hired" trends

Hi HN,

I’ve been analyzing Ask HN: Who Wants to Be Hired? threads going back three years and built HireIndex to make the data explorable.

Given how much the industry has changed, a few trends stood out:

1. A sharp increase in posts starting in 2023 There’s a significant jump in the number of people posting beginning in 2023, which aligns with the broader tech downturn and layoffs. This marks a clear break from prior years and sets the baseline for many of the shifts below.

2. Job seekers are more senior than before The average experience level has risen from ~7.5 years in 2022 to ~9+ years in Dec 2025 and Jan 2026. In other words, the typical person posting today is noticeably more senior than a few years ago. Interestingly, this shift is much less pronounced when you look at US-only data.

3. Fewer juniors, more very senior candidates Posts from junior candidates (0–2 years of experience) have steadily declined. At the same time, there’s a clear rise in people with 15+ years of experience looking for work. This trend is much stronger outside the US, where the US shows only a modest increase.

4. More international job seekers There’s been a growing share of posts from outside the US, especially from countries like Canada and India, relative to US-based job seekers.

If you want to explore the data yourself, including charts and breakdowns: https://hireindex.xyz/#stats

If you’re hiring, HireIndex also provides a searchable directory of candidates with direct links to resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and original HN posts. https://hireindex.xyz/#directory

Would love feedback, questions, or ideas for other cuts of the data to add.

Seems like they just raised 150m at 1.7B valuation. Crazy.

I would think they did some model pruning. There's some new methods.

Show HN: HireIndex – A Searchable Directory for Who Wants to Be Hired on HN

Hi HN,

I built hireindex.xyz – a searchable website that aggregates and indexes candidates from the "Who Wants to Be Hired" threads on Hacker News.

Coming soon: Analytics to highlight trends in skills, technologies, and candidate preferences across HN posts.

With HireIndex, you can:

Search by tech stack.

Quickly scan bios, salary expectations, and contact links.

Filter by remote/on-site preferences and employment type.

I made this because I was tired of scrolling through long threads and wanted a better way to find interesting people.

Would love your feedback – especially around UX and anything that would make it more useful to hiring managers, founders, or even job seekers themselves.
