> I would suggest to email directly to a company hr or apply directly through company's job portal. Apply to companies that don't advertise on linkedin or similar portals. This is how I got essentially all of my jobs and this is how I get leads even now.
How do you find out which companies are hiring, please? It's like a catch-22 situation: in order to know that a company is hiring, you need to know that the company is hiring. If I search for open positions for my role on Google, all I am seeing is the endless stream of recruiting agencies with no visibility into what companies they are actually recruiting for... Are there any places left where companies advertise directly?
- Varriount 3y agoHave you tried Indeed, Monster, etc.? Or failing that, contact the companies you're interested in directly?
- azangru 3y agoI am sure I must have checked out Indeed; but when I look at it now, it is not as full of posts from recruiting companies as I remember. Still a lot though: "Senior X Developer required for one of the leading FinTech companies...", "We’re working alongside a leading scale-up... in order to to find a Full Stack X Engineer..." and so on. I wish there were a simple way to filter all those middlemen out.
- iExploder 3y agoI dont really go for big tech, usually I target small to medium sized companies. So for me when I want to work for a company with embedded / audio etc I just google who is providing such services in the location I wanna work at. Once I found the target company and their website, a lot of them have "career" or "job" postings on there. If they don't I just send an email with an inquiry about currently open positions with my cv attached, sort of an electronic cold call :) I don't like to deal with the middlemen I go straight to the source, Frank Lucas style of the software era if you will...
