Job Sites
The job sites and remote job boards Seekter searches, from freehire and LinkedIn alerts to Indeed, Glassdoor, Wellfound, XING and niche boards, and how it picks the ones for your country.
A job search usually means the same handful of sites every morning, in a different order each time, and the boards that matter for your country or your field only when you happen to remember them. Seekter keeps the list for you. During setup it shows the job sites that fit where you live and the work you do, and every run after that reads the ones you kept, at the pace each one is worth.
How Setup Picks Them
/seekter-init asks where you live, what you do and whether you would relocate, then shows the list in one message, grouped:
- Always on: the API sweep of many job sites at once, and the career sites of the companies you watch. These run on every run and need nothing from you.
- LinkedIn, which gets its own questions, because it works differently. See below.
- The boards that fit you: the ones that work in your country, cover your field, and, if you would move, the ones that are only useful for relocating.
You drop what you don't want and can name a board that isn't listed. You never have to remember a board's name, only recognise it.
The List
| Job site | Where it's useful | Fields | Account | How often a run reads it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| freehire.me (with Jobicy) | Worldwide | All | No | Every run |
| Company career sites | Worldwide | All | No | Every run |
| Worldwide | All | Yes | Every run, from your job-alert emails | |
| Hacker News "Who is hiring?" | Worldwide | Engineering, design, product | No | Monthly |
| Indeed | Your own country | All | No | Weekly |
| Glassdoor | Your own country | All | No | Weekly |
| Working Nomads | Worldwide, remote | All | No | Twice a week |
| Wellfound | Worldwide, startups | All | Yes, to apply | Monthly |
| Kariyer.net | Türkiye | All | Yes | Weekly |
| Germany, Austria, Switzerland, for relocating | All | Yes | Weekly | |
| Djinni | Eastern Europe | All | Yes | Weekly |
| Dice | United States, for relocating | Engineering, design | Yes | Every two weeks |
| jobs.intodesignsystems.com | Worldwide | Design systems | No | Daily |
| designsystems.jobs | Worldwide | Design systems | No | Two or three times a week |
A few notes from measuring them:
- freehire gathers postings from many job sites into one search, which is why it runs every time. Its eligibility lines are read for each posting before anything is opened.
- Indeed has one site per country, and most of what it carries is on-site or hybrid. It is worth a weekly look for local roles, not for remote ones.
- Glassdoor is used to find postings; the application itself happens on the employer's own site.
- XING and Dice are shown only if you would relocate: for a remote search from elsewhere they turn up almost nothing.
- Djinni postings often require Ukrainian; the language filter takes care of those.
By default Seekter never opens LinkedIn. It reads the job-alert emails LinkedIn sends you, then finds each posting on the employer's own application form, where it can apply. You create the alerts; setup tells you which ones, one line each. Setting Up Your Search has the rules that make alerts worth reading.
LinkedIn Easy Apply is never filled. Those postings come back in the report as a list you send yourself, sorted by fit. Reading LinkedIn searches directly is a separate opt-in, explained in Guardrails.
Company Career Sites
Many remote roles are worth more found at the source: the career sites of the companies themselves, where a role appears first and from where job boards copy it later, if at all. Seekter keeps a shared list of such companies and shows the ones that fit you right after the job sites: see Company Career Sites, or browse them all on the Companies page.
Changing the List Later
Tell Claude which board to add, drop or read more often, for example "read Wellfound weekly" or "stop reading Indeed". The boards live in profile/settings.json under boards, each with its cadence, so you can also edit the file.
A board Seekter has no notes on yet is still read: the first run measures it and writes down what its search really does. Before suggesting a new one, look at the boards already ruled out: paywalls, search boxes that ignore the search term, boards that have closed.
