What are the best career/jobsites now for tech?

Last time I was looking (about 9 years ago) it was Dice and Monster. What are the main tech-type job sites nowadays?

Try indeed.com. They pull in jobs from everywhere, so they'll have jobs from Monster, Dice, and everyone else.

Indeed is probably the best because it aggregates from other sites and also has a decent design. Networking is still your best bet, though. I've moved around a bit in the last few years and still haven't gotten a job from an online application since my 2nd job out of college.

You'd be surprised who you know that might know someone that is hiring. Never hurts to ask.

Indeed seems to be lower level stuff. For high end pro, my vote would go to Dice.

Thanks all

I just picked up a position using Glassdoor, or maybe it was Linkedin.

I just double-checked, I used Glassdoor initially to review salaries, then searched for jobs. Linkedin is filled with recruiters acting like used car salesmen.

Just had a buddy score a good gig for an up and coming medical company doing sr sys admin through indeed. Recommended it as the best place to start.

Also as a hiring manager I can tell you that Monster is total crap. Our recruiters use Monster and it gets up candidates that half the time we don't even bother with a phone screen. They are really that bad.

Indeed and SimplyHired are both aggregators, as others pointed out, and are the easiest search for the best return (in the US - if you're looking in other countries there are other sites.)

If you're relying on just a job search, keep in mind employers only post a fraction of their available jobs. Posting on third party sites can get pricey. Assuming you have a location in mind where you want to work, focus more on searching for employers that interest you and then go to their career sites and do the actual job search there. You'll find jobs that you generally wouldn't find elsewhere.

They do make it far too easy to apply, and there is very little downside for an applicant. One thing I have seen that I thought was interesting was to put an questionnaire after the apply screen (with the implication that all resumes who don't answer yes to all get thrown out immediately). Especially these days when candidates aren't likely to even get an real interview unless they are purple squirrelish.

If you do a search for a high level position, how does it matter?
