I want a job board that doesn't allow companies to post anything unless they give a specific amount of money they are going to pay for the position. Easily 90%+ of the job postings have a blank salary rate which obviously is one of the biggest factors when people are looking for a job. The estimated amount some job boards use are never accurate because companies rarely align job title with pay.

Or are you saying a company cannot figure out what their max budget is for the position? If the company's absolute max is $70k, but my minimum is $80k, yes, i don't want to waste my time applying there. When a company doesn't post the salary its says the following: "we don't want to post the salary because we're going to ask you first and hope you say a lower number than the number we already have in our head".

I have heard that it can be a bit messy on the employer side. P.S. I kind of wish job boards forced employers to put the pay range because sometimes I see an opening that fits my resume, but I don't know the pay range, so it raises a red flag for me.

Also to add: Getting calls by agencies that are offering positions on the other side of the country (remote or otherwise). I seem to get a lot of those from Monster. It gets annoying after a while.

I think thats detrimental bc working for months without being able to get sick, without any guarantee of being hired which in turn gives me no chance of making midterm or longterm plans is just stressful. We compete as it is and this other layer of competition is just exhausting. I have a job with a staffing agency, Ive been working with Covid for the past week bc I cant be out of the office bc I only have 3 chances to be absent and I had to use 1 already. The fact that this is legal it disgusts me.

Think it is important to mention that Job Boards list only advertised jobs- if you're conducting a Career Search as opposed to a Job Search, it is worthwhile investigating companies at their websites and on LinkedIn. Suggestion: Weight each factor rather than giving each one an arbitrary number; in your example Ease of Use means much less than the Number of listings, not sure that should be the intent. Overall, though, you have a new Subscriber who will be referencing your YoutTube videos on LinkedIn - valuable, helpful info that is hard to find, without jargon or disorganization!

Actually, Indeed has tons of salaried level jobs as it scrapes directly from the company's career site. Also, just typing in software engineer is going to bring back a lot of false positive results as you're telling Indeed that software AND engineer can be located anywhere in the body of the posting which also includes the job title field. If you want Indeed to bring back the software engineer job title from a lexical match perspective, you would type the search query as--> title:"software engineer" If you want to be more maximum inclusive and include various job title synonyms, you can design your search query as (of course, this search query can be refined even further) title:("software engineer" or "software developer" or "web developer" or "software architect" or "software development engineer" or "programmer" or "programming analyst")

Your current companys job post if it's a big company you can look and move up or around in the company it's easier but if you do want a good one indeed is the best and they post within 24 hours and very accurate

Yes, some % of those people also applied for the job but it's not 100% of those people. If my own situation is any indication of the overall trends, I'd guess it's closer to 60% of that number (which is to say 40% of the time I click those links, the position ends up being something I don't apply for for various reasons).

Places make slave like labor with very long hours, horrible conditions and just plain bad jobs. You can have a place looking for one person but thousands of people applying for it, don't forget the words in an application that get you tossed before a live person even looks at it. I have had a search going non-stop for several years now just to see what jobs alert to me, it's the same ones over and over even if I change the salary range and job title. Most these places that have these ads for jobs are for companies only looking for zombie workers who will take anything and take any abuse.

These are all dogshit. LinkedIn has an edge, but too many people and too little opening. The problem is recruiters can post and not really recruit/need that role just to generate interest for the company to show that it exists and interest for the role for future projection. If anything, half the roles are filled internally or just cut after weeks of being posted to save money. The bigger issues are even having to apply to begin with...that's stupid, its 21st century, we should not be doing that. Waste of everyone's time. 2. Recruiters need to take uploaded resumes or having machine learning algorithms that match jobs to us AND we should be getting calls/emails for roles to be filled in no matter if we don't have the experience but can be trained regardless of what industry it's in. All roles must be remote (dont even ask why - this is non-negotiable), its 2st century, get with the times. And all roles must have hourly/salary disclosure as well as your profile/resume must be auto-floated to roles where they need to be filled to keep you employed/employers/start-ups happy and therefore, employees happy. Thus, really all of these are useless and not that helpful to begin with bcuz of the above problems mentioned...but LinkedIn is the only one that's kind of ok but still needs a massive update that addresses all the things mentioned above OR hope there's a competitor that enters that beats LinkedIn and Indeed or is a serious cut-throat contender.
