Ask HN: You're a founder, do you ignore recruiters?
Like most people here I'm working to get my company up and running. But I come from a freelance background, and I still get plenty of calls and emails proposing jobs.
I'm in two minds as to whether I just politely tell them I am no longer in that industry and no longer available, or do I stall in case it all goes wrong and I need to get back on the treadmill to feed my family.
I also see good relations with everyone as a very good thing to have because you never know when you might just need someone or an opportunity (not a job) presents itself.
