We've posted two and received a total of about 50 applications.
of those 50 I'd say 65-75% of them are high quality candidates at least at first glance that are writing emails specifically about the postings we put up and referencing the things we say in the post vs just spamming everyone in the list with a generic cover letter and resume.
So far HN is the best source of high quality candidates for us as a startup working on hard technical challenges.
