I am wondering if anyone who is a software developer looking for employment finds jobs on Github Jobs.



I will begin my job search soon and was wondering if employers favor applications from Github Jobs more than traditional sources.



Does anyone think Github Jobs is better than Indeed or other job sites?

    that would depend entirely on the individual employer, those looking on github for workers would be interested. Plenty others never heard of github. I only have a vague idea of what github is.

  • If you happened to work on some existing free software project on github, that is a valuable work experience. If you just show your own code on github, it might be less interesting to others. But YMMV

  • I've never found a software engineering job on Github Jobs personally (I didn't even know it existed). I tend to favor LinkedIn, Hired or AngelList. StackOverflow also has its own jobs site (stackoverflow.com/jobs) too. I really dislike Indeed Prime, because it is very spammy and the employers aren't as good.

Most of the time, systems like this all feed resumes into the same pool. Then, someone filters the applications and sends them to hiring managers/etc.



There are even software tools which employers can use to send a single job to all the various job sites.



By far and away the "best" way to apply is if you know someone. Otherwise, unless the company is very small, most of the job sites will not be overly better compared to others.
