Job Sites: Where to Find Tech, Startup and Remote Roles

Want a job that actually matches your skills and life? The job site you pick matters. Some sites focus on startups, some on remote work, and others on country-specific roles. Knowing where to look saves time and gets better results.

Startups and early-stage companies often post on niche platforms. AngelList and CutShort are popular for startup roles, while general sites like Naukri, Indeed, and LinkedIn show a wider range. For remote work, check remote-only boards and platforms that let you filter by work-from-home. If you’re hunting jobs abroad—Canada, Netherlands, Dubai—look for boards that list sponsor-friendly roles and filter by visa or relocation assistance.

How to pick the right site

First, match the site to your goal. Want a startup job? Use startup-focused sites. Looking for stable corporate roles in India? Try large job portals and company career pages. Targeted searches beat blind applications every time.

Create a strong profile on at least two relevant sites. Keep your headline clear (role + years + specialty). Example: "Frontend Developer — 3 yrs — React". Upload a concise CV that highlights measurable results: completed projects, metrics, or tools used. Employers scan fast; make the important stuff obvious.

Use filters and saved searches. Set alerts for new jobs that match your keywords. Narrow by experience level and location to avoid wasting time. Apply within 24–48 hours of a listing going live — early applicants often get priority.

Avoid scams and evaluate paid services

Scams are common on wide-open boards. Red flags: jobs that promise huge pay for little work, require upfront fees for training, or ask for sensitive info early. If a listing looks too good to be true, research the company and read recent reviews before sharing personal data.

Paid resume boosts and premium listings can help, but they don’t guarantee interviews. Consider paid options when you need higher visibility or are applying to competitive roles. Test a short subscription first and track whether you get better responses. If there’s no uptick in interviews, cancel it.

One simple plan that works: pick two main sites, build a clean profile, set alerts, apply to 5–10 tailored roles per week, and follow up after a week. Network actively—connect with hiring managers and recruiters on LinkedIn and join niche groups where roles get posted early.

If you target international jobs, prepare your resume in the local style and mention visa status clearly. For remote roles, show examples of remote teamwork and reliable communication tools you use. Small tweaks like this move your application up the pile.

Use job sites smartly, not blindly. Focused searches, clean profiles, and basic vetting will get you more interviews and better job offers.
