Desk and chair in office
Whether you are looking for a role in tech or a non-tech role, Indeed or the like isn’t always the most inspiring place to start when looking for that desired placement.
 
With the demand for more specialist roles being created every day, it’s no wonder dedicated platforms are being launched that are designed to recruit a broader, more diverse, and specialist audience. And you know what? We 👏🏽 are 👏🏽 here 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 it 👏🏽
 
Below is a shortlist of platforms that advertise tech roles ranging from developers to designers, engineers to coders. See this space as a starting point for finding that dream job, something I needed when I pivoted into tech over 5 years ago. Let’s dive in.

Escape The City

Escape The City is a 500k purpose-driven community of progressive employees and employers seeking either a placement or a recruit. The platform has worked with Bulb, Monzo, Applied, Hotpod Yoga, and so on. (I found my first tech role on ETC as it helped me have direct contact with recruiters and learn more about the company’s culture).
 

People Of Color In Tech

People Of Color In Tech acts as a wiki for job offerings. Ranging from Technical Officers to Product Design Directors, the list is endless regarding advertised positions. With a mailing list of 25k strong, this platform is undoubtedly doing something right!
 

LinkedIn

Linkedin praises itself for being the founding platform for business. Think of it as the Facebook of the business world. Your profile acts as a digital CV, which is editable at any given time. You may have seen the ‘I’m open to work’ badge on many profiles when scrolling through your feed. This gives businesses and recruiters insight into who is looking for a job and who is not. The selling point? It’s 810 million members and its growing active communities.
