Ask HN: Struggling to Find a LinkedIn Substitute?

10 points by okokwhatever ↗ HN
I'm struggling to find use to Linkedin anymore to change jobs. Is there any new trendy website oriented to share job offers that I'm missiong out? I mean, the usual github site with projects and stuff I feel does not serve all use cases and Linkedin this days is more a Tiktok social thing than the old (and useful) website.

Hi there,

I am building peerlist.io, its the Professional Networking platform for people in Tech and Startups. Why you should consider Peerlist -

1. It has a good job board with 200+ quality jobs 2. It has verified profiles where you can verify your present work experience 3. A strong community of tech and startup people.

Do check this :)

not sure if you care but your frontpage is using 15%-30% CPU to load on my 2017 macbook, making the fans spin. it's worse than linkedin

There’s read.cv which is a network, portfolio and job posting site that’s more focused towards the design community. I have seen software dev jobs posted in there too.

I’ve also struggled to find an alternative to LinkedIn (which is unbearable at times). Maybe the way forward is for each community to have its own unique platform, like read.cv for the design community, another for games, embedded, etc.

Aside from that Hacker news who’s hiring has been the most useful in discovering opportunities for me personally although I realise this is focused mainly on technology roles.

Use Facebook groups targeted for jobs in your city, assuming you live near a largish city, and groups related to your skillsets and industry.

HN has a substite: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring

You might also want to consider expanding your network to get more interesting leads.

AFAICT it’s still sound advice.

Best of luck!
