Comment on Ask HN: Why are YC startups so secretive in Job postings?

Comments

It's not a big filter but not mentioning specifics filters out some who lack a sense of curiosity and adventure.

I'm not sure developers want a sense of of adventure when it comes to job descriptions. Relatively speaking, most job posts are about the same. I can't imagine many great developers read a job post and are so excited by the description they have to email in to find out more details. This is why recruiters have a tough time finding great developers. How many great developers read a job description from a recruiter and are so excited they take the time to seek out the company name?
