You get 100+ resumes through a "Who's Hiring?" post?! I get two-three in a good month, but more often than not I get nothing at all. That said, I have hired one person through HN back in 2011, if memory serves me right, so this hasn't been all for naught.

Oh, ouch! That sucks. Your product is pretty darn cool. I remember cross-comparing it and some other stuff. Only reason I didn't buy it, was the lack of a desktop webapp. (That's a serious problem IMHO.) If I were interested in moving I'd totally apply there.

Do you have a link to a recent job posting? If so I'm sure you can get some feedback on why that is.

You don't say what you are looking for in the post. There is a mention of "platform engineer" but no clue what this is or what he's supposed to do.

Plus, I assume that the NY area + security engineering has a lot of companies competing.
