What are some actual good job boards in 2024? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I feel like lately a lot of job boards have become populated with scams, training courses disguised as jobs and the few jobs that are posted are just posted for show. Indeed.com is a good example as it used to be decent some years ago and now it's hard to find an actual listed job. Linkedin is okay so far.

What job board do like you use when looking for where to apply? What are some decent job boards that like you had success with? Are there any job boards aren't well known and still good?

When I've switched positions the past two times I just reached out to a local recruiter and let them know what I was looking for. Recruiters, the ones you contact - not the ones that spam your DMs, are extremely valuable.

Interesting, thanks! Did you have to pay them, or would they get a commission from the company hiring you?

Outside of specific careers, recruiters are paid by the hiring company. If a recruiter tries to charge you for a tech job, run.
