Im my more than 10 years of experience as a software engineer, I’ve never used once indeed.com. It always looked to me as a place where 90% or more of the job ads are either scam or of very little quality.
- diogenes4 3y agoSo of course, the vast majority of job postings are not for software engineering. Indeed is absolutely king when it comes to job postings. I work at a warehouse and they only posted through indeed.
- nwoli 3y agoYeah it feels like some kind of shibboleth to know that the way to get the good jobs is not through indeed but through direct contact or similar. On the other hand if everyone used that tactic I guess it wouldn’t be as effective or as good of a in group signal
- greybox 3y agoYeah same, I worry though that this is just a side-effect of our skills being currently under-supplied for the current demand. We can afford to let people come to us a little bit more than someone who (even though probably has a wealth of experience) is applying for something where the supply of applicants is above or is more inline with the demand.
- tennisflyi 3y ago> very little quality Even then you get nothing - just ghosted.
- sys_64738 3y agoIndeed.com is useful for finding employers you didn't know about in your area and getting a sense of the jobs. Then I take that info and apply directly to the company through their webpage. So indeed.com is just useful for human screen scraping :)
