These days, I only use LinkedIn. I’ve set my profile to “Open to Work,” and I get occasional calls from U.S.-based recruiters, sometimes ghost chat as well!! lol!!!!But it’s nothing like the old days when my phone would ring all day after posting my profile on Dice.

Is Dice no longer popular for tech recruiting? What other platforms are software engineers, QA engineers, and SDETs using these days and getting prompt responses ?
How do you handle ghost chat in LinkedIn?

Regardless of the specific job boards, it is very much an employers job market. Every job posting is getting inundated qoth applicants, and sorting through them has become the focus, with no time left to be looking for anyone who hasn't applied.

Dice used to be good for contract jobs now it’s dead.

It’s LinkedIn only these days for the job hunt. Glassdoor used to be good after Dice died but totally sucks now. I give random chat people a day to reply to my response - if they don’t and it ends in a ghost chat, they get permanently blocked.

Not sure what you expect to accomplish by blocking them? I guess this is your way of punishing them or teaching them a lesson, lol. Better to just leave the door open and forget about it.

Following. Might be back on the job hunt soon

Yeah those were the days alright. I used to get annoyed by how many recruiters were knocking down my door on a daily basis. Local recruiters would literally take me out to lunches and happy hours. Boy have things changed. To all the people who are relatively new to tech, you'll never understand how good we had it.

I use all the job boards and then go to company website and apply. Long time back you could just apply directly from job boards website but not anymore .

How are you guys managing with the Sapience tool?

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
