Ask HN: Getting a new job: Recruiter, Hired.com, or By Myself?

Depends where you are and what your situation is.

My personal experiences with recruiters (free range as opposed to company-employed) have been very bad over the years, so I'd recommend avoiding them if possible. Every one of them will testify how they are "different", too. Yeah, right.

I don't think the online tech hiring startups have proved themselves yet. My experience, again, is that that they're more a pretty face over the same old "technical interview" crud that we know and love. Your mileage may vary of course...

Have you thought about attending tech Meetups (if there are any in your area), in my experience there are often individuals looking to hire devs.

They all vary. Why not just do them all and see what sticks. It isn't much effort to use Hired.com, the recruiter does much of the legwork for you, and you should be out networking anyways. Just cast a wider net.

I just searched so may net sources to get my job .It has various options like LinkedIn and so many private job providing websites. We must register our CV in these sites. As majority of positions will get filled through online applications. Then we can get informed regarding the vacancies.

I got a job through Hired.com about a year ago at a series B start-up in Mountain View. It was a great experience, they connected me with 11 companies and I got offers from half of them within 2 weeks.
