23 Design and Development Job Boards
by Steven Snell on May 2, 2012
With so many designers and developers competing for jobs, finding work can be a challenging task. Fortunately, designers and developers can benefit from being in an industry that has a number of quality niche-focused job boards.
While major job sites can still be a source of job leads, smaller and more focused job boards are often a better use of your time. Many companies have found that industry-specific job boards typically produce higher quality candidates, which has resulted in more job listings on these job boards.
In this post we’ll break down the leading job boards into a few different types or categories. First, we’ll show those that list mostly jobs for designers.
