Ask HN: Can other companies post jobs on HN?
I noticed under the jobs category that it says these are jobs from former and current ycombinator companies. Can other companies looking for good motivated programmers post jobs here as well?

I don't believe that just anybody can post something that gets filed under the jobs tab. I think that's limited to YC associates, and I don't think that's likely to change (although pg could certainly change his mind).
Honestly, there's nothing stopping you from posting a job posting yourself as a normal submission, but I'm not sure that's best for the board. There's already a lot of noise on the board, and I'm not sure additional job posts are going to help that problem.
There's a "Who's Hiring?" post that happens on the first of every month, and that's probably your best bet.

Yes, I agree there is a lot of noise on the board already. I've been meaning to post a solution I thought of for it.
Ok. I'll keep an eye out for that Who's Hiring post that should go up today, right?!

There are "Who's Hiring" threads in which you can post, if posting directly to Jobs is not allowed.
These threads happen ~monthly.
You can also post to the "Who's Hiring" threads on Quora which get good visibility.

I don't know why I didn't think of Quora. Good point. Thanks!
