As you know, I’m a student of Internet
oddities. And I also have experience with the, erm, underbelly of the job
search. Which includes job boards.
Monster and CareerBuilder are so crappy I
refuse to use them at all; Dice is only marginally better. Mostly what they
appear to be are platforms for rapacious recruiters for South Asian contract labor vendors to spam you with unsuitable (and grotesquely underpaying) contract jobs
in places where you are not. (Evidently there are no maps of the United States
in Bangalore.)
The jury’s still out, as far as I’m concerned,
on Indeed. They’ve promised me (on Twitter) that they don’t allow recruiters to
scrape data, and so far I haven’t been spammed by the scumbags.
However, I was getting way too many emails from
Indeed, so I went to unsubscribe. And this is what they offered me:
Are you seeing the problem?
(Again, I had to tweet to them to actually get
them to stop spamming me.)
