5 Best Job Portals To Hire Tech Talents In 2023 and beyond

Finding tech talent today continues to be a significant challenge for recruiters. There are just not enough talents, and it seems like it’s not getting any better. A report by the IMF highlights that by 2030 the shortage of tech talent will escalate to a staggering 85 million tech workers globally. 

Nevertheless, the whole situation shouldn’t be a bleak one. You can find and recruit the right tech talents if you know where to look.  Check out these top job portals to hire tech talents in 2023 and beyond.

The Job Portals You Should Use

Job portals or job boards should be top of mind when thinking about where to source talented tech hires. Great jobs are constantly made available due to shifting needs in digital transformation initiatives, but finding the right talent to match those needs remains challenging. 

With that in mind, you can opt to make full use of job portals to your advantage. Each board has its own unique characteristic and applicant pool, which you can use for free on your own or by using a comprehensive applicant tracking system that comes integrated with these job portals.

If you’re a recruiter who really understands the industry's inner workings, you’ll quickly learn that sometimes using niche sites might just be the answer you’re looking for to keep you ahead of the game.

This list - curated with the needs of tech recruiters in mind -  is perfect for you if you’re a recruiter who works with large organizations across industries. Let's discover some of these job portals and what makes each unique. 

LinkedIn

This largest digital job board - where professionals connect with one another - should already be your common playground. LinkedIn says it currently has 830 million users worldwide this year. Now that is an enormous pool of talent from which  49 million look for jobs every week.

At the most basic level, LinkedIn allows users to showcase their entire employment, educational, and volunteering history.  These profiles alone can be used as a CV in some cases. This makes the process of discovering a candidate’s fit much simpler for, let’s say, a recruiter searching for passive candidates for example..

LinkedIn has gone a step further by introducing LinkedIn Recruiter to give you more results that are relevant and faster. Thus, you can concentrate on connecting with candidates rather than spending your time searching for the tech talent to approach.

There are two ways you can choose from to search for high-quality talents. Firstly, if you already have a person within a tech team that fits the hiring criteria, you can use their traits as a benchmark to find candidates who have the same skill sets and experience. 

For instance, if you’re looking for a second software engineer in your team, you can create a candidate persona that fits and automatically create a search using the data from his profiles, such as skills, companies that he has worked for, and industries.

The second method you can use with this “by-recruiter-for-recruiters tool” is by putting a job title on the Recruiter search bar. It will then help you to create your search strings using the talent data on LinkedIn. 

Since you’re looking for tech talents, let’s take “UI/UX designer” as our example. After you put the position into the guided search bar, the system will automatically give you a list of skills related to UI/UX designers as well as candidates. 

Indeed

They say don’t place all your eggs in one basket. In the case of candidate sourcing, this rings particularly true. Using only one job portal to source candidates will likely not result in you staying ahead of the competition.  You need to have a portfolio of portals in your recruitment toolbox. 

So, the second job portal you should consider is Indeed, which is popular among both new and seasoned recruiters within various verticals.

On this generalist job portal, you can directly post any vacancies that you have directly without any charges. But, if you want a big neon sign (figuratively speaking, of course) that says, “Hey, we think you’re perfect for this role,” you can opt for their paid feature to promote your posts. Then again, you don’t necessarily need to do that. It is a nice-to-have, nice-to-know kind of feature.

Nevertheless, we understand that it can be frustrating to search for tech talents in the sea of candidates on the job board. Thus, if you need something specific from them to search and source tech candidates, you can opt for their specialty job site called Indeed Prime. 

This specific portal allows you to access top talents such as front, end, or full stack developers, UI/UX designers, and software developers based on your criteria.

Monster

Monster has been part of every recruiter’s life since 1994 and made - like what they say on their website - recruiting a little bit easier. 

In the case of finding elusive tech talents (as Monster put it), you hardly find passive candidates on the web. However, they do leave high-quality, digital crumbs all over the net.  Even though they are not looking for new opportunities, they help other tech professionals by sharing their coding on GitHub, answering technical questions on Stack Overflow, and perhaps retweeting mobile development on Twitter.

Understanding the predicament that recruiters have in finding and sourcing tech talents, Talentbin by Monster places all these tech professionals in a single place where you can search, engage and recruit them faster and easier.

Flexjobs

The next job portal that you can consider really puts the flex in flexible jobs. Since the pandemic changed our working life two years ago, the majority of employees are demanding a more fluid way of getting things done. A LinkedIn report substantiates this by revealing that candidates refuse to have work schedules and to be tied to an office. So it’s safe to say that working from home (WFH) is not going to budge any time soon. 

Speaking of staying flexible, more candidates are opting for life as freelancers to find a balance between their personal and working lives. Some job seekers venture into freelancing to test the waters before fully committing to a new career, being their own boss, and turning their passions into a project.

As a matter of fact, six years from now, we can expect to see about 90 million freelancers in the United States. That’s a whole lot of people with unique skill sets waiting to be hired. That said, if a company just wants to hire tech talents for a project, consider bookmarking Flexjobs' website on your browser. 

But, if you are looking for permanent tech talents and they live in different areas of the world, you can easily locate them using this portal. At the end of the day, there are unlimited options to post jobs, regardless of the plan you choose - the limit to search for candidates does not exist. 

Dice 

If you ask experienced tech recruiters where they usually go to source tech candidates, most of them might say Dice. 

Dice.com can be the job portal that is worth taking a look at when sourcing IT professionals. While its price plan can be a little bit a little steep, think about the unique, skilled, and verified candidates that you can get before your competitors. 

You can rest assured that the job seekers on the platform went through their fraud detection and automatic profile screening, ensuring only real people created their professional profiles. 

A Single Platform With Many Benefits

There you have it, the five best job portals to keep in mind for your recruitment strategy. Of course, by all means, you can look for more digital boards and add them to the list, but are you able to handle mounting tasks and processes - such as checking for responses, jobs posted, expired promoted posts, and more - by yourself? 

Also, while you’re doing all of those at the same time, you need to ensure that you’ve contacted the candidates and scheduled an interview session with them. That’s a lot to handle for a recruiter.

So you need a single - and simple - platform to manage the traction you get on these job portals. Look no further than Manatal’s ATS software which can help you to make your recruitment process a lot easier and simpler. 

The first thing that you can do after setting up your account and enabling a career page with Manatal (you can read about creating a career page here) is to post jobs to thousands of job boards easily.

As more businesses move towards digitalization, the demand for tech talent continues to soar. Hence, searching for high-potential candidates is crucial if you aim for business sustainability.
