Rules
hiredevs.lol is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no directories, and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
How ranking works
- New listings are whole US dollars, $1 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. (Once the board is hot, similar sites use a $5 gap to take #1 — we start at $1 because this niche is empty.) Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
- Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
- Enter the same website or @handle again to raise that listing to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
- GitHub and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different repos don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
What you can list
- A careers page, a hiring landing page, or an X @handle.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for companies hiring developers and profiles, not group chats.
- Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
- Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.
- Link shortener URLs are not allowed. If you submit one, it is replaced by the URL it redirects to — or rejected.
After you pay
- Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters (we add utm_source=hiredevs on the way out).
- A completed payment is what claims the rank.
