HN Hiring Pulse automatically tracks and visualizes monthly "Who is Hiring?" and "Who Wants to be Hired?" job threads on Hacker News. It fetches and counts top-level comment job posts for each month, showing trends, peaks, and changes over time. Data is sourced from the official Hacker News API and updates automatically as new months are posted.

Hacker News is a popular online community where software engineers, founders, and tech enthusiasts share news and discuss trends. Every month, the "Ask HN: Who is Hiring?" thread becomes a central hub for job postings in the software industry. Because so many companies and job seekers use it, the volume of posts here is often seen as a weathervane for the broader tech job market: Rising in boom times, dipping during slowdowns.
