Comment on Ask HN: What are some of the best job boards you have seen (any industry)?

Comments

The newer matching services (as opposed to boards) are all worth checking out: Hired, Vettery, Underdog.io. I found many good leads through all of them, and my current position is through one of them (Vettery.)

AngelList Jobs is also a place to find interesting positions (startup-centric ones in this case, as one might expect.)

My experience with placement services is that none of these people seem to work with remote candidates, and many have a narrow focus on the Bay Area. They are also high-friction (since now you just need to interview and go through the process of 8 placement services instead of cutting out the middleman and just applying to the 8 place you'd like to work) and pretty restrictive in their interpretation of candidacies.

These (and probably most) services are currently geared toward technology hubs and in-office work, that's true, as that's still the norm in industry, so they reflect that. I'm in NYC and saw plenty of outreach.

For remote, remoteok.io seemed pretty good when I used it.
