If you really want to hide it, you could write a CSS rule with the :has selector. Probably won't be <i>too</i> long 'till that's standardised and implemented. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:has" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:has</a><p>But, as the only thing really funding Hacker News, I think unobtrusive, easy-to-identify job ads are a worthy price to pay.
The funny thing is, I've noticed these too, and all I come away with is the impression that nobody wants to work for ZeroCater. I can't imagine that impression bodes well on recruiting.
Alternatively it would be cool if comments could be open on job posts so that folks who've had experience applying, interviewing or working at the company can leave notes for others.
The job ads are already staggered so that a company's ad can't appear on the front page until it has fallen off <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs</a>. That's why you're seeing a week or two elapse between any of those posts.
I think a lot of companies post job openings as a form of advertising. I'm not saying that is what is happening here, but there always seems to be a set of companies that have the same positions listed for over a year, despite being relatively small companies.
