Indeed. You can also try social media groups by their typical age and likes. What does the typical niche persona in this role look like? Types of groups/associations/ affiliations etc. If you’re stuck, I can help!

like

Specialized Slack communities (I.e. Product Marketing Alliance, Clojurians, DBT). It’s likely you have folks on your team who are members of some type of community around whatever niche you’re looking to hire in so I would also lean on them to spread the word!

Maybe the approach you are using is what is making it hard to find those candidates. LIR is great at finding candidates from specific companies. If you find a target list of companies that fit the niche you are bound to find people who are helping those companies do what you need! PM and we can chat :)

It really depends on the niche... most have their own communities or resources. For example in software engineering you can look at open source contributors, GitHub, Reddit, etc. - but for Product roles those places would not be relevant and you would need to look elsewhere.

Indeed is where we find most of our candidates. Personally I don’t even have my LI public and if I’m exploring opportunities Indeed is where I usually find them.

Have you tried joining LI groups for the particular field? Also look into FB groups and Slack community. I did this when looking for specific Product Marketing roles

Google sourcing hacks and SourcCon they have great webinars

Have you tried reddit?

Perhaps search for companies working in that niche field☺️ alot of times you can find good information on the company web page. Sometimes I also Ask my clients where they think their future candidates are currently working.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)
