"My profile on StackOverflow careers was viewed by employers a whopping 1 time and had 3 search hits."
I've had similar experience with StackOverflow Careers. Even though my skills listed and location are in the top 5 for each, I have 31 views of my profile and 6 inquiries. And I've been on the site for over 6 months.
I get the feeling that while SO Careers has the right idea it's really a matter of where the recruiters are.
- blatherard 15y agoMy company advertises on Stack Overflow and have had very interesting results. We get very low volume, something on the order of 1 to 3 responses per posting. However, the quality of these applicants is very high, which is great because we are not looking for commodity programmers. I think SO Careers is currently a sort of high-end site for programming jobs, and Monster is a meat market.
- mattm 15y agoAs someone who also has his CV up on SO Careers, this is interesting to see that it is designed like that. I was also concerned about the very low number of views and times appearing in search results.
