13 tech job sites make it easy to find a new job whether you want to work from home or not

If you are one of the many people looking for a new job, this collection of resources is a great starting point. In addition to the familiar sources such as Dice and Monster, there are new sites that focus on particular careers or remote-only positions. 

Three sites in this list flip the standard script of hunting for a new position. Instead of individuals applying to specific positions, companies pitch jobs to individuals. Job hunters submit a profile for approval by the website. If the individual is a good fit for current open roles, the profile is approved and starts showing up in search results on the site. The idea is that companies will start the hiring conversation with a specific job description and a salary offer, instead of drawing out the process and offering few details. 

Take a look at our list and see if there’s something new waiting for you.
