I get what siftly is trying to do, but unless they begin getting exclusive listings it will die, and in reality serves no real purpose

I only really use siftly if the job isn't posted elsewhere.

To me, applying directly feels like it shows more active interest, whereas siftly could just be a "fuck it" application

When I was job hunting, I got a few interviews via Siftly, but I found my current job by applying directly to the company.

I just chose to apply via company website directly because Siftly doesn’t allow the option to attach portfolios ...but curious to hear your guys’ thoughts...

Never heard that one, usually I go company website or LinkedIn.

Never used it

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)
