https://unicornhunt.io/ ~ From the peeps behind Silicon drinkabout, it's got a good balance of startups, remotes and SMEs roles. As an employer too, the pricing model is super.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'll go a step further and say it looks very focused on London.
Unfortunately, the whole UK tech scene is massively weighted towards London which kind of sucks for those of use who don't want to live there.
Worst: LinkedIn with direct application. Never got even on reply from that. Tangential: Glassdoor (in my case actually LoveMondays, a local copycat that Glassdoor bought) is very useful when deciding to accept an offer.
I'm a huge fan of AngelList Jobs [0], and made extensive use of it during my last job search, for one very important reason: they require all job listings to disclose salary/equity ranges up front. Some of the listings there have ranges that are more useful/realistic than others, but I find having at least some indication of potential compensation for a position is infinitely better than not having any idea at all, a…
(Full disclosure: I work for Triplebyte) If you want to share publicly or privately, I'm curious to hear about your mixed results. FWIW, our quiz & interview process may have changed dramatically -- not sure when you last tried it. Also, we're now also connected with larger, established companies like FB and AAPL (in addition to startups), but this might be a new development on our end since you last tried it out.
For what it's worth, my issue with the process I went through was the significant workload required for the take-home project I chose.
Some background: I semi-specialize in frontend work because I enjoy building great products and user experiences.
Out of the 4 take home projects you offered at the time, only 1 had anything remotely product-oriented: a _multiplayer_ snake game. The take-home projects were estimated to take at most 3 hours, which seemed about right for the other 3 project options, but definitely not for this one, which involved non-trivial frontend work and realtime networking in the backend, which seemed like more of a whole-weekend kind of deal at the very least. Nevertheless I chose this project because the other projects simply didn't interest me at all, and probably wouldn't have given me any opportunity to showcase any product chops because they didn't involve any non-trivial frontend work.
I was also interviewing outside of Triplebyte at the time, so I didn't have a whole weekend to burn on this project. In the end, I worked on it for the estimated 3 hours and had a decently working & polished frontend but couldn't finish the backend component, so that's what I went to the interview with and was rejected for not being able to finish.
In the end I think this was an issue of project selection/scope. I don't think 3 hours was a very honest estimate for the time commitment required for the project I chose, and any project that takes more than 3 hours feels like too much more time commitment than most would be willing to accept.
My personal recommendation for take-home project selection would be to offer the same project choices you'd offer candidates who take the real-time interview path, but simply expect more polish, better code quality, architecture and testing.
Though take that recommendation with a grain of salt, because you guys have probably put way more thought into this than I have. Nevertheless I'd love to hear how your project selection process has evolved since then.
https://www.nofluffjobs.com/ is pretty nice
I'm linking to it as a showcase of a "job board done right" rather than for actual job searching - that's how I understood OP's question.
I've had some luck with LinkedIn auto-fill (I got one FT job and I don't recall the interview rate). But not the best.
