Can you promote in r/forhire?

Some redditors are skilled professionals, some redditors need skilled professionals. Scroll down for general information and our rules. Please read through these carefully, as breaking them can be a bannable offense.

The short answer

Post only using the required [Hiring] or [For Hire] format, include required details (budget, description, portfolio, contact via PM), disclose your company concisely, and avoid promotional comments or links; use PMs for follow-up.

What works here

  • Posting a [Hiring] ad with job details, budget and contact method
  • Posting a [For Hire] with skills, portfolio/resume and contact via PM
  • Answering public questions for discussion (but not to solicit business)

What gets posts removed

  • Advertising or soliciting customers in comments or outside the required post format
  • Posting more than once per 7 days or acting as a B2B/agency account
  • Using bots, affiliate/referral links, URL shorteners, or asking for free/speculative work
