No offense but I mind. For people who have an appropriate position themselves this is a free resource to access a particular demographic that they wouldn't otherwise be able to get but, generally, we are already actively recruited by firms. If you were an active member and fellow geek yourself and had an occasional obviously unique opportunity (although I can't imagine what one would be off hand) then you'd already likely know who to contact directly on this list.

best regards,

I agree.
 
But you're perfectly welcome to stay on the list as long as we (the moderators) don't get complaints that you've been sourcing emails for the purpose of sending unsolicited employment (or other) offers. 

Typically people only complain when it's excessive, untimely or done without proper research, so if you're a careful and competent recruiter you probably won't have any trouble using this public list to vet potential candidates, but otherwise geeks are pretty good at figuring out the path through which unsolicited email arrived.

The last time someone tried a couple of us who received the same offer briefly considered having some fun at their expense but decided it wasn't worth putting on our good clothes to interview at a bank which didn't value discretion in their recruiters.

I think as long as the job posts are targeted and gives enough information about what the job description is and who's the client then developers won't mind. Then again if you target HackerSpace mailing list is the way to recruit people then that will annoy everyone to see literally too many irrelevant posts. 

But if you post jobs like what you mentioned above "I am looking for PHP, Java, iOS, Android, (add two more languages to that)" then hardly anyone is going to read or reply.
So more targeted job posts will give you a better response rate!
