Yes. I've got a lot of high quality connections that didn't lead to jobs too. One was actually a company I applied for elsewhere, which they ignored because it was a generic job site - the site rejected me, but they continued the process because we were interviewing thanks to HN.

It has the best effort-to-results ratio of anything so far. They'll put you into the process, but I think most have a bias towards you already, so less pointless hoops, and the requirements seem much more reasonable.

Last time someone sent me an email about a job and then asked me for my country and when I responded, they said no.

I mean, why reach out when my country was literally listed in my location in my who wants to be hired comment lol.
