I got jobs in 1999,2012, 2016, 2018 and 2023 from outside recruiters.
The job I got in 2008 was via CareerBuilder.
My jobs in 2014, 2020 and 2024 came from internal recruiters reaching out to me.
But in 2023 the first time I explicitly looked for a remote job:
Plan A: reach out to my network - 2 offers almost immediately
Plan B: targeted outreach based on my background and fit for a role: 2 interviews almost immediately and one offer
Plan C: randomly submitting resumes to job boards. I submitted hundreds of applications mostly to LinkedIn Easy Apply and my application wasn’t even looked at. LinkedIn shows you.
In other words, all job boards are a shit show every applications gets hundreds of submissions and in my niche, I’m objectively very qualified and credentialed. But it’s hard to cut through the noise without going through a recruiter or using your network.
