Since we're here, post to a "Who's looking to get hired" thread. I got a good lead with that the last time I tried. Other than that, ask around and create a relationship with a good recruiter or two.

My country has one or two job posting sites that have much better signal-to-noise ratios and are heavily watched by recruiters. It's in fact much faster than LinkedIn to get going for both sides.

Internationally I'd rather check HN's job threads and the likes.

Submitting resumes have always worked for me.

i found hired.com and y combinator jobs to be a bit more meaningful these days. Othre than that I have tried indeed.com but it seems its mostly bait and switch in london..

The attention I got through LinkedIn wasn't really worth it. They'd notify me of a shiny new job, I'd notify them of a hard $$$$ salary floor, and they'd laugh their way out of the conversation. Other channels like CodeFights, Triplebyte, and Google's foobar were a lot lower effort and a lot more fun for substantially greater dividends, and now waiting for former co-workers to recruit me is about as far as the search goes.
