Can you promote in r/hiredev?
This is a community where people will post to get hire or to hire developer's.
The short answer
Reply helpfully and transparently; include a brief mention of your company only if directly relevant and not promotional, and ensure any new post uses the required [Hire]/[For Hire] tag.
What works here
- Respond to hiring threads with relevant help or interest
- Post hiring or for-hire offers using the correct [Hire]/[For Hire] tag
- Civic, non-spammy introductions and requests related to hiring
What gets posts removed
- Excessive promotion, advertising, or spammy outreach
- Posting without the required [Hire]/[For Hire] tag
- Using comments/posts as lead-gen/solicitation with links or repetitive pitches
