- How will you identify a recruiter? Often they pretend to be a hiring company. And are you committed enough to the idea of them not attending that you are willing to turn down their offers to pay the $300 attendance fee?
I'm glad you're a stickler about recruiters. I am too. I am 100% committed to not having recruiters at this event, even if it means turning down money. They will ruin the experience.
For this particular event, the attendees will be primarily companies I know who are hiring and companies that read HN. I'll be monitoring the companies that sign up and kicking out people that I think are recruiters. I have a good handle on who is hiring tech talent in NYC right now, so I know the companies that are likely to show up. If they're not on my mental list, I'll be suspicious.
I am not a recruiter. I'm a developer. I know who's hiring because I've been watching the job boards and attending events in NYC for the last few months.
