One search trick that’s been surprisingly useful lately: Google X-Ray Search.
Instead of relying only on LinkedIn, I’ve been searching job boards directly with Google.
For example:
site:job-boards.greenhouse.io intitle:(QA OR SDET OR "Test Automation" OR "Quality Engineer") remote ("United States" OR "US" OR "USA")
You can swap in different job boards or search multiple at once. I found a couple of roles this week that never showed up in my LinkedIn feed.
One other thing I’ve started doing: tracking companies that repeatedly repost the same opening. If I see the same role come back for a third time in a short window, I’ll apply and reach out to the top 3 recruiters I see in the company roster.
Another platform that has been helping generate interviews is: builtin.com
