Man I thought it was just me, but yeah Indeed is truly terrible. My only way of getting interviews has been linkedin (both applying to and getting messaged) or directly applying on company's websites thus far in my career.

Are there any other job boards that are actually authentic?



Stackoverflow used to have a really good job board that we got great candidates from. I was really sad to see it go away.


Agree with this. Forgot they removed the board as it’s been kind of a while now. One thing I didn’t really like was having your stack overflow profile be relevant in hiring decisions - probably good for some/many devs though


I heard GlassDoor also has jobs but I never used them, only LinkedIn and Indeed (I'm EU-based).

Never got hired through Indeed but they have a few jobs that aren't on LinkedIn.

Also, is it me not knowing to use Indeed or does their interface not support the most basic thing? EU-wide search. With LinkedIn I type "European Union" in the location box, shows me all EU. Indeed, I have to select every individual country, it's much more limiting and I'm getting bored fast.

Sure, I can select "United States" but dudes, having EU countries listed individually with no option of doing a whole area search is like having to manually search "Arkansas" or "Oklahoma" jobs in the US, it's retarded and myopic to say the least.


EU-based dev here. Recently, I've been using:

- Hired (1 lead, did match my profile but not what I wanted to do);

- HiredSweet (0 leads);

- WellFound (a few interesting leads);

- Hacker News Who's Hiring (a few interesting leads);

- Hacker News Who Wants to be Hired (a few interesting leads);

- LinkedIn applying (a few interesting leads);

- LinkedIn messaged (dozens of leads);

- Reddit /r/rust (a few interesting leads).
