Can you promote in r/nycjobs?
NYC job board, for anyone looking or hiring. Please prefix your post with [Hiring] or [For Hire]. Good luck!
The short answer
If you're a founder replying publicly, post as [Hiring] or reply in context, be transparent about your company, keep any promotional content highly relevant and minimal, and avoid link shorteners.
What works here
- Posting job openings with [Hiring] prefix
- Posting candidate availability with [For Hire] prefix
- Relevant content about NYC jobs
- Direct links (no URL shorteners) when relevant
What gets posts removed
- Spammy or purely promotional posts
- Using bit.ly/goo.gl or other shorteners
- Heavy advertising or irrelevant links
- Posting links without sufficient non-ad content
Where this comes from

Public description states 'NYC job board, for anyone looking or hiring' and asks posts be prefixed [Hiring] or [For Hire], so hiring-related participation is allowed.
Anti-spam
Rule explicitly says 'No spam', so commercial/soliciting content should be non-spammy and relevant.
Promotion guidance
Bloggers/promoters must follow a 10:1 content-to-ads ratio and be relevant to NYC and jobs, indicating limited promotional activity is acceptable if mostly useful content.
Link policy
Sidebar requires only direct links and forbids shorteners, so include full URLs when sharing links.
