Which sites actually are good for job searching in tech/IT that won’t get you spammed with fake listings?
hiring.cafe
This has been surprisingly useful. I went in expecting “LinkedIn but better formatted” and actually found a site that does what I need it to do (unlike LI). And with fewer scams and third party recruiters too.
I will say that anyone using it should check the current list of companies first. Because they’re scraping individual company pages, they may not have a company on their list that you’d like them to check - if so, there’s a form linked at the top of the page where you can drop the company’s URL to get them added.
My crappy answer: Craigslist (depending on your area), Indeed and LinkedIn for ideas, then the company’s own site for applications.
I don’t know if it exists.
I’ve been unemployed for months and can confirm that enshitification has taken over all the job sites.
I’ve never applied for a job on linkedin, but when I’m looking for work I’ll get all my experience and education info in there for recruiters to see turn the “Open to contact” banner on. I usually get a bunch of people contacting me, and secure a position from there. My job does work with a very specific program, though, so I might just get a lot of people contacting me because it’s easy to search for that one keyword.
Not for IT, but Culinary Agents is legit for F&B.
I’ve heard some companies still post to monster.com
Do not use monster. They got ahold of my info and never stopped spamming me with fake jobs years later.
