I used Hired.com for my last job, and did some searching with it a couple years later. Hired was totally great the first time I used it. The companies "bid" on you as a (senior-level) tech worker, and I was able to land a few offers from a handful of great companies. The company I accepted an offer from was one of the best jobs I ever had. Hired sent me a bottle of Dom and a tiny little drone as kind of "early adopter" prizes.
Now, a couple years later... I didn't have such great luck. It seems to me that all the shitty companies are now officially on board at Hired. So I got a sea of bad offers, and I went through probably fifteen or twenty interviews, the vast majority of which were for companies with clear silo management problems. Lowball offers, people with expectations that clearly did not read my resume or my cover letter with my own expectations, slimeball hiring managers that will say anything...
And here's the kicker: The last time I used Hired, my "talent coordinator" person (the individual working for Hired that helps you with job searching) very nearly sent my resume and profile information to the company I was working for. That was the last straw and I immediately stopped using Hired, and recommended to my friends to not use them.
I would recommend you give them a try, but that you stay on your toes and you take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe I just had a string of bad luck with them last time.
