What sites do people use to find jobs?
-
I'm a recruiter for a global translation company and have some tough positions to fill. Recent applicants have been under-qualified. I'm proactively looking for people and sourcing resumes. Besides the traditional craigslist, indeed, monster, dice, etc - what other sites are popular for the tech community to look on when looking for a new job? I like strong tech community sites like stackoverflow, for example, because the people who frequent those sites are usually constant learners vs posting on craigslist and having a less passionate candidate apply. To get an idea of our needs, example of positions are "localization engineering manager", "OneLink Website Engineer", "IT Server Engineer", ".NET Developer", "Application Developer", "Junior Software Developer" Any thoughts and input are appreciated! Thanks!

Most of the community here is one of .Net developer, Application developer or Junior software developer. For those roles you really need to have a good grasp of what technologies your client is using before writing a job spec and contacting prospective candidates. In the UK I personally only really use jobserve.com or efinancialcareers.com. Most ads on stakoverflow or craigslist are not serious opportunities and the salaries reflect that. -Nick

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it. Haven't heard of jobserve before (probably bc I am in the US), but I'll pass it on to our London team, thanks!

I deleted my LinkedIn, haven't looked at monster in years - not even when looking for jobs. Most recruiters are poorer at matching keywords than Google's search engine. Please, explain me the difference between the ".NET Developer" and the "Application Developer". And how much engineering/managing do you reckon is needed to localize an application?

I can become extremely religious when talking about development; but that's not the passion that's meant here, is it? A tip; less marketing, less fluff, less positive political correct SHIT, and more facts. Where is the job? What's the pay? And what's your score on the Joel-test?

How about linkedin @Feng? I have used many sites for search in job, right now point I forgot those. Once I got remember it I will post it back again. I think linkedin is good source for many developers. And I am a .Net developer actively looking for a change. If you have a position for me, feel free to send JD to my official mail id - ganeshcse@live.com
