LinkedIn may have a higher effort:reward ratio than it used to, but is there something else that has higher utility to someone looking to get noticed for a new job?
- tpxl 4y agoSince we're here, post to a "Who's looking to get hired" thread. I got a good lead with that the last time I tried. Other than that, ask around and create a relationship with a good recruiter or two.

- Bayart 4y agoMy country has one or two job posting sites that have much better signal-to-noise ratios and are heavily watched by recruiters. It's in fact much faster than LinkedIn to get going for both sides. Internationally I'd rather check HN's job threads and the likes.
- rajamaka 4y agoSubmitting resumes have always worked for me.
- _visgean 4y agoi found hired.com and y combinator jobs to be a bit more meaningful these days. Othre than that I have tried indeed.com but it seems its mostly bait and switch in london..
- hansvm 4y agoThe attention I got through LinkedIn wasn't really worth it. They'd notify me of a shiny new job, I'd notify them of a hard $$$$ salary floor, and they'd laugh their way out of the conversation. Other channels like CodeFights, Triplebyte, and Google's foobar were a lot lower effort and a lot more fun for substantially greater dividends, and now waiting for former co-workers to recruit me is about as far as the search goes.
