Yea, but understand that is not my point, and I'm not asking for your Tony Robbins like advice. If there was such a desperate market for talent out there, I should be seeing it, regardless of whether I was selling myself or not. Either their talent searches are incompetent or this is just manufactured news for somebodies agenda.

If they can't find you, dice or not, they won't know why they should hire you or who you are.

  But somehow those bottom feeding headhunters can find me and send me about 20 emails a day all for the same job.

    That's because you're swimming in their pond. Get out of Dice and find other ways to meet people who work for the companies that you want to work with.

      Guys, I'm not posting to get advice on finding a job, I'm trying to stay relevant to the story posted.

        You suggested the article was 'manufactured' because your resume on DICE isn't getting you job offers from high-end companies. We're telling you that you're doing it wrong. It's relevant.

        No: if a company was really invested in looking for top talent, one would expect to see prominent job postings on its website as well as Dice/Monster/etc. We shouldn't have to inveigle ourselves into a job in a convoluted networking game. Post the jobs on popular boards, with relevant informed requirements, proportionate pay, and a proper hiring process. So answer the top poster's question: where are the job ads? Where's the outreach from these needy companies? Apparently, nothing. Either the companies concerned are still in some recruitment stone age, or the whole article is a sham.

        No very few people uses those sites anymore, the jobs are not there. That is the point the other posters are making, the world has moved on, Linked-In and other sites have become the hotbed of activity for recruiting. Headhunters are just scouring the cracks of the internet (Dice, Monster) to find resources that have not been put in front of these organizations, in hopes that they get a hit. They are playing a numbers game. Tech unemployment is officially at 2.7% and I think most on this site would agree, it feels like it's somewhere around that number.

    Hm, let's see, the only people that are finding you are bottom-feeders. What does that tell you about where you have placed yourself?

Hmm. "Give me your huddled masses, yearning to be free^H^H^H^H H1Bs"? It'll be funny to see what happens if Target gets themselves a boat-load of H1Bs. Funny, except for the lost employment opportunities for locals, and the cultural miscommunication.
