Tech people are hard to find. Whenever you have a strong demand in a certain industry, sites will multiply to try and help employers find that talent. We are now witnessing a new crop of techie job sites that have a fresh approach on recruiting tech talent. Recruiters in the tech industry will try anything at least once if they think it will work. Here’s a look at three of them.
1. Headhuntable
This is a free job board that makes user profiles open as part of the site. Check them out here. I think more job sites should let seekers create free and open profiles so they can be picked up by search engines and also to help form a sense of community.
2. The Nerdery
This a “refer a nerd” type service. Refer someone and get $100 if the candidate interviews, and $400 more if they’re hired.
3. Interview jet
They curate top tech candidates in the NYC area and pimp them out to companies who need tech talent. They’ve already made 3 placements essentially acting as an ‘agent’ for the candidate.
