My next career change will decide on whether to keep using it. I’m really unsure if it’s useful as the job search is just about garbage, but there are so many jobs on there that there might be the one I’m looking for.
Maybe a question to the crowd: are there good, international, job search platforms? As in, I don’t have to create an account for each damn country (like monster.com or indeed) and just search for “bricklayer” or “hvac” and find jobs world-wide.
Searching worldwide gives me almost entirely jobs in France. I also didn’t see a way to filter for direct listings only (i.e. jobs posted directly by the employer). At least most of the jobs do seem to be direct listings, but annoyingly it is not obvious which ones are posted by an agency, and you have to read the ad carefully looking for phrases like, “Nous recherchons pour notre client…blablabla”.
It’s definitely one to add to my favourites, thanks. It’s more of a priority for me to get direct jobs, as I much prefer to avoid agencies (and middlemen in general). I don’t mind scrolling through pages of listings as long as at least 50% of them are suitable, which seems to be the case here.

I just had a look, for software engineering I saw jobs for the UK, Germany, Spain
Might not work for every industry.
The French heavy side is because the platform used to be independent (Otta) but then got bought by a French company

Xing is rather good and getting less german-only I think
