Yes, it works.

I used it once and tracked responses. The best and worst* candidates came from HN.

Worst, as in scattergun "here's my CV" emails.

Best, as in the "I love what you're doing because X. Here's the kinds of things I could do for you... and here are the things I've done before. I notice you're using X, Y and Z... perhaps we could try using this instead? Because..."

I'd definitely post here in future, but only after posting somewhere else.

I also posted for a remote job which I think helped. I had 0 responses from California.
