Can I link my job board or resume tool here?
Not in a regular post. “No stealth ads or hidden promotions” removes any link to your own product, service, or website, and the only path in is mod mail approval before you post.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be civil and have proper conduct: This is a community focusing on job hunting, finding job leads, and landing a job. Be civil and refrain from discrimination, harassment or trolling. Repetitive toxic behavior that is uncalled for will result in a permanent ban from this sub.
- No off-topic post: Your post should be relevant to job hunting, interviewing, negotiating salary, accepting an offer, basically everything related to landing a job. Irrelevant posts will be removed.
- Protect your personal information: Do not disclose your personal contacts (personal email, phone number, address) publicly. Be responsible for your safety and privacy. If you are a recruiter, please use your company's hiring email address.
- Job posting is allowed BUT: Anyone posting scams or deceptive job listings will be permanently banned. This includes attempts to exploit people into engaging in illegal activities under the guise of a job. NSFW postings are NOT allowed. Job Listings should contain full details - ambiguous job listings will be removed.
- No begging: Asking random people online to "please get me a job" doesn’t help your search, it only clutters the feed. Use this space to learn how to improve your profile, applications, and strategy instead.
- No stealth ads or hidden promotions: This subreddit is not a place for advertising, especially not disguised as "personal stories" or "helpful posts." If you share a link to your own product, service, or website, it counts as promotion and will be removed. If you genuinely want to share something you’ve made, message the mods first for approval via mod mail.
- No AI slop: Excessive use of AI for karma or engagement farming is not allowed in this sub. If you suspect an account is a bot, try writing u/bot-sleuth-bot in comment to check.
Works well
- A plain writeup of what you changed on your resume and what moved the needle, with no links attached
- An honest walkthrough of an interview process you went through, focused on what you learned about answering questions
- A practical guide to negotiating salary or evaluating an offer, written as advice rather than a funnel
- A recruiter post with the company name, your name, and a company hiring email address, plus full details of the role
- A question post asking job seekers what part of the application process confuses them most, with no product mention anywhere
Avoid
- Dropping a link to your own product, service, or website in a regular post, because “No stealth ads or hidden promotions” says it counts as promotion and will be removed
- Disguising a promo as a personal story or a helpful post, which the promotion rule calls out by name
- Posting affiliate links or paywalled content, which the community description excludes outright
- Asking people to please get me a job, which “No begging” says clutters the feed and helps nobody
- Using AI to mass produce posts for karma or engagement, banned under “No AI slop”
- Sharing your personal email, phone number, or address in a post, which “Protect your personal information” forbids for everyone including recruiters without a company hiring email address
What r/jobhunting Is For
This is a supportive space for people looking for work. Members come here to find real job leads, improve their resumes, sharpen their interview skills, and connect with recruiters and fellow job seekers. The rules describe the scope as everything related to landing a job, so that covers job hunting, interviewing, negotiating salary, and accepting an offer. Recruiters are explicitly welcome, but only if they provide their company, name, and email. The community also states clearly that it wants to stay spam-free, with no affiliate links or paywalled content, so the tone is helpful first and commercial never unless approved.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “No stealth ads or hidden promotions”, which removes any link to your own product, service, or website unless you message the mods first for approval via mod mail. “No off-topic post” keeps everything tied to job hunting, interviewing, negotiating salary, and accepting an offer, so a post has to fit that frame. “Protect your personal information” matters if you ever post as a recruiter, because you must use your company's hiring email address and never a personal contact. “Job posting is allowed BUT” governs anyone listing a role, demanding full details and permanently banning scams, deceptive listings, and NSFW postings. “No begging” removes posts that just ask strangers for a job. Finally, “No AI slop” bans excessive AI use for karma or engagement farming, and the description adds that affiliate links and paywalled content are not welcome at all.
What To Post
A good post here teaches something a job seeker can use the same day. Think a breakdown of how you improved your resume, a lesson from an interview you went through, or honest advice on negotiating salary or handling an offer. The rules point people toward learning how to improve their profile, applications, and strategy, so posts that teach strategy fit the room well. Keep it relevant to landing a job, keep it human and not AI generated, and hold back any link to your own product or site until the mods have approved it through mod mail. If you are a recruiter with a real opening, include full details and use your company's hiring email address.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is promotion. Any link to your own product, service, or website counts as promotion under “No stealth ads or hidden promotions”, even when it is dressed up as a personal story or a helpful post, and the only safe route is mod mail approval first. Affiliate links and paywalled content are banned by the description itself. Off-topic posts get removed under “No off-topic post”. Begging for a job breaks “No begging”. Scam or deceptive job listings, and anything NSFW, mean a permanent ban under “Job posting is allowed BUT”, and ambiguous listings without full details are removed. Sharing personal contacts breaks “Protect your personal information”, and recruiters must use a company hiring email address instead. AI slop and engagement farming are banned under “No AI slop”, and uncivil behavior, discrimination, harassment, or trolling can end in a permanent ban under “Be civil and have proper conduct”.

Common questions about r/jobhunting
I am a recruiter, can I post here?
Yes, the description welcomes recruiters, but you must provide your company, name, and email, and “Protect your personal information” says to use your company's hiring email address, never a personal one.
Can I post an actual job opening?
Yes, “Job posting is allowed BUT” permits it, with three conditions: no scams or deceptive listings, nothing NSFW, and full details in the listing because ambiguous ones get removed.
Can I ask people to just hire me or refer me?
No. “No begging” says asking random people online to get you a job clutters the feed, and points you toward improving your profile, applications, and strategy instead.
Can I share interview or resume advice if I run a career business?
Yes, as long as it stays on topic for job hunting and you follow the promotion rules. If your post is really a doorway to your own site, it falls under “No stealth ads or hidden promotions” and needs mod approval first.
