> Using Selenium, I used a script to google iteratively for strings query = f"ask hn who is hiring {month} {year}" to get the IDs of the items that represent the monthly threads.

FYI, you could've just used the hackernews API, and get all posts by the user `whoishiring`, which submits all these who is hiring posts. And then filter out only the posts where the title starts with "Ask HN: Who is hiring?", as this bot also submits the 'Who wants to be hired?' and 'Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer?' posts.
