If it's useful for developers and it's technical (high or low level), then yes.
Otherwise, God no!
The reason why I check dev.to regularly it's because it's not full of recruiters pretending to be techy and trendy but in the end they just want CVs to spam.
I'll echo what a few others have said that it's fine if it's technical or technical career content that adds value, it's fine.
Otherwise, if it's job listing or trying to recruit someone to join a job postings site, the main dev.to site isn't for that, but listing may be a good fit.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
Submitting a job ad as an article isn't ideal as folks are generally expecting to read full posts with some actionable info or discourse (i.e. tutorials, editorials, tool lists ,etc).
However, DEV Listings is perfect for this. Consider sharing your sharing job Listings here - dev.to/listings/jobs and perhaps you'll have better luck. Also, you might want to check out - dev.to/listings/forhire for potential candidates to reach out to.
Hope this helps!

I apologise in advance for being blunt, but:

Thanks for your feedback Carlos
Will avoid trying to be trendy for sure if I start posting on here a bit... and try and share stuff which is more technical
! Developers waiting recruiters on Dev.to be like

Salut Tris.
Il n'y a pas de règle sur qui est autorisé à écrire ici.
C'est comme partout, il faut connaitre son public et produire du contenu qui soit pertinent et utile.
Celui qui fait cela est le bienvenu, qu'il soit dΓ©veloppeur, recruteur ou boulanger.
Celui qui fait l'inverse devrait prendre en compte que nous autres les dΓ©veloppeurs avons un dΓ©tecteur Γ bullshit relativement sensible, donc un boulanger, un recruteur ou un mΓͺme un autre dΓ©veloppeur qui viendrait ici avec ses grosses ficelles risquerait d'Γͺtre vu de travers.
Donc voilΓ un recruteur peut certainement poster ici, mais si il fait ici le mΓͺme genre de post qu'on voit sur LinkedIn, je ne suis pas sΓ»r qu'il va aimer l'expΓ©rience.
Merci pour cette gentil feedback!
Of course you can, my post on hiring remotely almost made it to the weekly digest. I was 2 unicorns π¦ and 3 loves πshort π’
