Recruiters just getting acquainted with the world of it-selection may think that you only have to learn the basic concepts and terms - and the developer is in your pocket.

But that was not the case: conventional search tools do not work, and it takes much more time to attract candidates' attention.

To help recruiters live and breathe more accessible, we have compiled the most comprehensive list of resources where the proper developers are found.

Find a developer

Is there a way to bypass the rake of selection without stuffing bumps from the first steps? Yes, if you start your search by drawing up a portrait of your candidate. What is he interested in, what is important to him, what attracts him to companies, and what pisses him off in vacancies?

Cliches and old schemes do not work here. You have to collect feedback and do surveys all the time. Trends change quickly: 7 years ago, an offer about remote work, set-top boxes in the office, or healthy food seemed calm. Now you will only surprise people with such a set - we get used to the good quickly. But the desire to work with exciting projects and develop as a specialist came to the fore. Still at the top is a free schedule and the most modern technology.

Where to find a developer
Job boards:

Classic HH.ru

Yes, it's a hello from Captain Obvious, but the most popular site still produces good results. An additional option - hunting - search for employees by the company. Suppose you need a person from a specific organization, but the developer himself is not on hh. In that case, you can contact him through other employees who have left this organization. You will pay a small amount for this contact, but you will receive a phone number (or even several) of the people you need.

Anonymous Resources

The appearance of the option to remain anonymous during the job search speaks best of all about the high competition for IT professionals. And companies have to adjust to this new reality.

About one of the main sites - GeekJOB - we recently did a detailed review on our blog.

Additional sites where developers gather to remain incognito are G-mate and Head.z, Djinni. The main difference between such resources and classic job sites is the ability to quickly get a response from the right specialist (there is strict moderation, and candidates receive fewer spam invitations).

These sites will be less useful if you have an asterisk problem and need to find a developer for an unpopular stack. It would help if you turned to intelligent X-ray searches, professional social networks, and instant messengers.

X-ray-search

We have already mentioned the subject of boolean and X-rays in our blog. In the example of searching for an IOS developer and in material about an Android developer, we considered the technology of using words-operators and the possibility of using this tool on different sites.

If you still need to become familiar with this system, remember the main feature of x-ray work: through any search engine, you can crawl profiles and find developers who meet specific criteria.

In general, we scan the user base bypassing the site itself. Use all search engines: Yandex, Google, and Bing, but consider their features. For example, searching through Yandex on the LinkedIn network will not be available in Russia due to blocking. But Google and Bing will easily find suitable profiles.
