The new year is a great time to dust off that resume and start applying for new jobs. With an extra year of experience, you might be qualified for jobs that were out of your league a year ago. And with a new job comes better work opportunities and hopefully a nice salary bump. 

In this article, we’ve curated over 30 different job boards from around the world. With this many options to choose from, you are bound to find something that suits your preferences and experience. We suggest that you spread yourself across a few of these boards based on your region and work style (remote, 4-day week, etc.). 

Where to start your search?

We’ve organised the job boards according to region (UK, USA, and Europe) and by type of job board. The biggest job boards are for all types of jobs in most regions of the world, tech jobs are for specialist tech workers, and remote boards are for remote jobs – bear in mind that most of these jobs are targeted to professionals with digital skills.  

Don’t just stick to one platform though, it’s best to get your CV across a few of these. We recommend is that you create a profile on a specialised recruiting platform (if you’re a developer, try WeAreDevelopers). Here, your profile will be shared with numerous local companies who are actively looking for candidates. It’s a great way to passively receive offers while you are actively searching. 

If you’re on LinkedIn, let recruiters know you are open to work (this can be done without alerting your current employer) – many recruitment agencies find candidates by filtering through LinkedIn. And since recruiters get a hiring commission, they are a huge help in finding jobs and setting up interviews. So if they reach out to you, let them help you. 

💼 Biggest job boards 

These are some of the biggest job boards in the world. You’ll likely already have a profile here and/or an understanding of how the platform works. Most of these sites have ‘Easy Apply’ which makes it very easy to mass apply. But this lower barrier to entry also means that there are going to be more candidates in the application pipeline, and therefore more competition.
