Job Listing Sites
I am starting to hear about a number of job boards (for tech) that exist outside the standards. Here is a list of job boards.
Pro: some find it more personalized
Pro: Asks about what you want to better filter roles
Pro: Easier way to save jobs you like. Reminds me of a data app
Con: They ask you to upload your profile via LinkedIn but they require a download of a PDF and they import only titles and dates, you have to manually add everything else yourself. Plan for about an hour to import resume details. This is a really big con.
Pro: sorts by job categories
Pro: LIke Otta, they ask some key questions in an attempt to personalize the experience. And they actually have sub-categories for some of the preferences so I get a better understanding of what they mean (Otta didn’t have that.)
Con: The option for more jobs from a company is understated, took me a while to see it.
Con: The design is too busy, they attempt to share information in an easy-to-digest way but there are too many different design elements on the page and repetitive elements that make it hard to know where to focus.
Pro: Easy Apply is helpful
Con: If you use an Alumni email, Gmail sends your application confirmations to Spam.
Con: Sometimes you don’t get an email confirmation of a rapid application.
Pro: Massive Database
Cons: Lot’s of dead jobs
Pro: Easy to apply when researching companies and common questions
Con: Not very comprehensive.
Con: Glassdoor makes you write login and/or write reviews to get details at uncomfortable moments
Pro: Discovery/Search by location, company, and titles
Con: No good sort for Product Manager Roles
Pro: Focus on tech
Con: Still testing out
Notes:
There will be a lot of overlap of listings across platforms, mostly you will find a job board more helpful based on how you discover roles.
Don’t trust the last updated dates, most of the job boards change those based on last scrape not on hiring manager changes.
