I’m not sure if there is a good one out there. The current market for skilled labor just seems to be really dry. That, combined with the massive influx of botspam and fraudulent candidates, and the hyper-arbitrary, hyper-selective AI gatekeeping resume scanners HR departments insist on using… makes it really difficult and random to even get a callback for jobs you’d be perfect for.

I know that’s not of any direct practical use, but I hope it helps to better understand that if you’re not having much success getting interviews, it’s likely not your fault. We really are at a systemic tipping point for job-seeking and what’s been working a long time (companies post jobs, candidates apply for them) is no longer viable.

That said, here are a few job sites I’ve been using and/or that I’ve had success with in the past. Some may or may not still be around:

• Hired.com
• TripleByte (acquired, now defunct)
• Welcome to the Jungle
• Built In
• LinkedIn
• Workintech.io
• Techjobsforgood.com

fwiw: I always remember it as “example given” and “in essence”
