I feel like most job aggregators pull/crawl the same listings? That said, I've had success with Indeed in recent transitions.
Are you in a certain field/industry? Going directly to the websites of companies you know is a good place to start.
This lines up with my experience. The job listings look the same across LinkedIn and Indeed. Last time I was job hunting, Indeed had a better search function, so I was able to find relevant postings there more easily. These days, I am not actively searching, but I do periodically check on some companies' websites within my field to see if anything pops up that might be worth a shot at.
LinkedIn has been the most effective for me, personally. I seem to have less-scammy recruiters reach out to me on LinkedIn than on other platforms. I'm in my current role that I didn't even apply for, but got offered from a direct outreach by a recruiter, and it made the process very seamless.
I've used Indeed in the past, but seem to encounter a lot more scammers from India there. That could just be related to my field, though. I get more phishing attempts from Indeed than job offers.
Same - I only received a follow-up from a direct application to a company once, and that was about twenty years after I had applied, and even then only to inform me that the role was no longer being filled.
Recruiters reaching out to me via LinkedIn is how I've gotten every job ever since LinkedIn existed.
It depends on the field
What job you looking for?
Something IT-ish, I'm a Data Engineer
I got my last job by applying to an outdated PDF of a listing that I googled and found on some shady job aggregation site. The one before that I was recruited through Stack Overflow. And before that one of my old bosses recruited me to his new company.
So, uh, don't just stick to a few sites. Maybe your dream job is waiting for you in a newspaper because the company owner has no clue about the internet.
I've had three recruiters reach out to me on LinkedIn in the last four weeks, so I'd say make sure you have a profile set up with a current resume on LinkedIn if you're looking for work.
You could consider
Linkedin is still the big gun. Really don't like how they game everything around job hunting, or the endless sea of Indian recruiters from Hyderabad pretending to be in UK/USA who can barely speak English and 'have a requirement...' but clearly have no concept of geography.
Lol is that a thing, even the pay isn't possible what are they on about
I don't have time for multiple platforms so I just use linkedin. the recruiters will be on all of them anyway.
Networking. Which was the intent of LinkedIn, I suppose, but I just revert to good old phone calls.
I'm a big fan of Culinary Agents if you're in food & bev at all.
Linkedin is great if you're proactive.
In my view the job market is kinda shit right now too. At least in my field it is.
Does anyone have recommendations for junior developers abroad? I need to broaden my search.
One of my old hiring managers once said it's better to use sites like Indeed and Glassdoor like a phonebook, since 4 out of 5 jobs redirect you to the company's application page anyway. Find job, search company, and either go to their website or call em
IMO they're all shite right now. But keep looking on all of them, I focus on LinkedIn and Indeed. Employers are more likely to respond if you apply on their website.
