Looking to clarify the guidelines, I have a question for the moderators. The subreddit description mentions including “recruitment system developers.” Does this mean: 1) Are questions about this topic considered valuable? 2) Is it limited to third-party recommendations? 3) Can someone reach out to build something for me? 4) Why doesn’t anyone attempt this? Or 5) Is it something else entirely? It seems odd that one can be a developer or contributor but not promote their work unless they’re discussing industry trends. Thank you for your help!

Your question raises some interesting points about the intention and guidelines of the subreddit. From what you’ve outlined, it seems like you’re trying to clarify the types of discussions that are encouraged.
Valuable questions: This could definitely be part of the discussion. Many users might be seeking insights or advice on recruitment system development that could stimulate engagement and foster knowledge sharing.
Third-party recommendations only: If the guidelines emphasize outside recommendations, that might be to maintain objectivity and prevent self-promotion, which can be useful in keeping the conversation balanced.
Build requests: Asking for someone to build a system might be viewed as too transactional or promotional, which might not align with the intended community spirit.
Inactivity concerns: If there’s a lack of participation or innovation in the space, it may indeed be worthwhile to ask why that is.
Something else: It could also be about sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and broadening the understanding of what it takes to develop recruitment systems, rather than direct promotion or seeking contractors.
It might be helpful to seek clarification from the mods on how they envision these roles and discussions fitting into the community. That way, everyone can better understand what kind of contributions can foster a supportive and informative environment.
