Re: Ask HN: What is your favorite place to find work?
#82I am running https://coderfit.com , a tech recruiting agency doing tech-video interviews, so I am obviously biased in my suggestion: A possible way is to go through a recruiter. Recruiting agencies add value in two ways: 1) They prevent that you or the firm fuck up things. This happens more often than you think, read my draft: "Why software engineers don’t get jobs: Three horror stories": https://medium.com/@iwaninzu…
Recruiters often get bad press and that's unfair, there's usually a few unscrupulous people who taint the profession for the rest of us. We're in the same boat as yourself and find we get loads of positive feedback from candidates we place.
we like to give something back to our community and clients to through our tech specialist podcasts. you can listen below

If you own one of those job boards, you should be up front about that when linking to it.
I agree, but as that's not the case there was no need for a disclaimer in my original comment. I just felt like I could contribute to the discussion which is not often the case here on HN. Hope that's ok.
Hall monitors everywhere.

I know LinkedIn isn't particularly popular here at HN, but I think the job adds I get shown there are quite good. Even if I am not looking for work I get a sense of what companies there are, and what kind of positions they are looking to fill.
Your mileage will vary on LinkedIn depending on the time you put into populating your profile. I have written hundreds of profiles for clients this year - some clients are more concerned with branding (what does someone feel when they are directed to the profile or find it on their own) while others are much more concerned with just being discovered by recruiters, hiring managers, peers, etc. The approach is quite di…
Is linkedin's SEO approach documented anywhere? Something like SEO Site checkup for linkedin profiles would be pretty cool.

#86At least here in Canada, indeed.com (actually .ca) has noticeably better selection than LinkedIn and Monster, the sites I've used before.

There was a great detailed article on it many years ago, but since they've changed the site I haven't seen a new one. This is about as good as I've seen, and it's written by them.

You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs. https://whoishiring.io/search/39.4871/-110.8740/3?category=d... Disclaimer: I wrote whoishiring.io, and I'm not doing too good job to present that other categories ar available (the filter is missing on the index page). But yes my main focus in the beginning were dev jobs.
> You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs. Right, "developer jobs" wasn't an accurate description. There still seems to be a narrow focus, though. I mean, what about finance, medicine, chemistry, carpentry, etc? Is that outside the scope or is it coming?
I wasn't planning to go that broad, extending this outside IT would need serious research in HR mechanism for each of those categories. I'm not calming that that I know HR in IT but this project kind of evolved from my needs.

#89https://whoishiring.io which is basically an agregator. I also like the concept around https://www.honeypot.io (I think it's only available in Berlin though). Once you sign up and add your CV, you get a list of quite detailed offers almost every day, including company name (wow, I know, crazy) and salary range. You can accept or reject them through the UI, by just clicking a button. No endless chain of messages to fi…
Honeypot is pushing for lowest possible salaries; they outright reject you for wanting 100k EUR jobs even if you held such positions before. They are more like agency for startups wanting cheap labor to quickly burn through. Mind you, German startups rarely give you equity, bypass labor laws (small sizes), pay low and expect insane dedication.
Besides the equity, that sounds like every other startup around the world.
