10 job boards designed for tech professionals
The job market has been moving and shaking since COVID-19 began. It’s a job seeker’s market, and these 10 websites specialize in matching tech professionals with the companies that want them.
If you haven’t heard about “the Great Resignation,” then your job satisfaction is likely better than that of the millions of Americans who’ve resigned in the past several months. The tech industry hasn’t been exempt from massive turnover and, by extension, massive numbers of job openings. To put it succinctly, it’s a job seeker’s market right now and there are plenty of jobs to go around.
Tech professionals looking for work have no shortage of places to turn to find development, engineering, support or management positions. That abundance can also mean it’s hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, leaving the wrong jobs rising to the top of search results on some websites. These 10, however, are almost completely designed to serve tech professionals and the industry that employs them.

Flexjobs
While not catering exclusively to the technology industry, Flexjobs is the place for tech professionals looking for part time, freelance, or flexible work.
