As chrisked mentioned - definitely my previous clients and friends. The best long-term contracts I received was through a former colleague, classmate or a friend. Recently, linkedin provided a steady source of leads (not talking about recruiters) via niche groups, 2nd/3rd connections etc. One great site is https://whoishiring.io https://whoishiring.io - an amazing job aggregator that parses (in my opinion) the best sites for work. This eliminates my need to go hunt for jobs on job boards. Avoid freelance marketplaces like upwork, freelancer and others.

It seems to be just for developer jobs, or a I doing something wrong? Will they go into other fields as well, or is there someone else who is already doing that?

  You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs. https://whoishiring.io/search/39.4871/-110.8740/3?category=design https://whoishiring.io/search/39.4871/-110.8740/3?category=d... Disclaimer: I wrote whoishiring.io, and I'm not doing too good job to present that other categories ar available (the filter is missing on the index page). But yes my main focus in the beginning were dev jobs.

    > You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs. Right, "developer jobs" wasn't an accurate description. There still seems to be a narrow focus, though. I mean, what about finance, medicine, chemistry, carpentry, etc? Is that outside the scope or is it coming?

      I wasn't planning to go that broad, extending this outside IT would need serious research in HR mechanism for each of those categories. I'm not calming that that I know HR in IT but this project kind of evolved from my needs.
