    Where are the places that developers show up? On HN and Twitter. Do something to spread awareness of your company. It will be a long journey, but if you don't have $$$ to throw at a problem, you need to find alternatives: - There's a monthly "Who is hiring" thread on HN every 1st day of a month. - Create a technical blog. When it gets popular and people see that it's high quality, brand awareness will increase. It takes time but it can bring massive gains. Extreme example: Cloudflare. But there are many smaller nice blogs. - Create an RSS feed for the blog and a Twitter account ${Foobar}Engineering that RTs your blog posts. Just make sure the blog and Twitter are high quality and not random filler content every day. - Do something unexpected, like: TikTok or YouTube channel. There's one small company in Poland that has a YouTube channel with basically short programming fun sketches (2-3 min), and this YT channel huge. Everyone in IT in Poland knows them. - Relax your requirements, and post job offers to good job boards. Are you fine with people working remotely? Or 4 days a week? Check stuff like https://remoteok.com/ https://4dayweek.io/ etc. - Include approx. Salary data in job offer. No one likes this dance of "do they want seniors at half my current rate?".

    A niche market to tap into in general might be areas that promote startup companies and job seekers. A while ago on desktop I used https://startup.jobs/ and was able to search by company size (1-10, 11-50, 51-100, 100-200, etc.), but I just went on my phone and that doesn’t seem to be an option. Anyone out there use this site and/or can verify if there are more search criteria available on desktop then phone? Disclaimer: No affiliation or anything.
