Get a job, fill a job
Some people who read zeldman.com have positions to fill. Others are looking for work. The ones with positions to fill are looking for clued-in designers and developers; they can’t find enough of them. The ones looking for work have had their fill of ordinary jobs; they seek greater challenges, and they have the chops to succeed. So I’ve added the 37signals Job Board to this site’s sidebar.
There were job boards before 37signals had one, and new job boards have popped up since. But of all the job boards old and new, 37signals’s seems to me to do the best, uh, job of connecting smart people with good positions. Recent job board postings include:
- Fandango seeks a Database Engineer in Los Angeles.
- CNET is looking for a Software Engineer in Bridgewater, NJ.
- United Nations University Media Studio is looking for a Web Application Developer in Tokyo, Japan.
- Sapient is looking for a Senior Site Developer in NYC.
- Periscope is looking for an Interactive Flash Developer in Minneapolis, MN.
- The Indianapolis Star is looking for a Development Manager in Indianapolis, IN.
- Million Dollar Homepage is looking for a Senior Web Developer in London.
- KickApps is looking for a Web Designer in NYC.
- Burton Snowboards needs a Web Designer in Burlington, VT.
- Soccer.com seeks a Usability Designer in Hillsborough, NC.
The Job Board is linked on pages at Signal vs. Noise, A List Apart, and zeldman.com that generate millions of page views a month. It’s the best place to find or post a web tech or design job.

So, what’s your take on the new CrunchBoard as a direct competitor?
What’s your take, Dino? How is CrunchBoard different / better?
A note on Soccer.com: I applied for a slightly different webdev position there (also advertised @ 37signals) two years ago. From what I remember, Sports Endeavors Inc. is an incredible place to work. Great atmosphere, great benefits. (I still wish I’d gotten the job!)
My apologies, it appears the other position is not on 37signals, I was looking at the SEI corporate site. (First comment, too. Figures.)
OK to hijack the question?
I prefer the 37signals board. The design is killer, leaner and easier to read. Crunchboard could be any 2.0 website from the past six months in terms of design; it’s not as easy to read and I just love those non-breaking spaces, Sheila.
I agree with Spike: The 37signals board looks more appealing to me. I think that the immediate job categorization is quite handy.
I also look at cssBeauty for job postings. They get interesting postings too.
A lonesome bottle in the sea for sure, but anyone in Denver want a bright young kid with lots and lots of spit and vinegar, well you just come a knockin’! Plus, you’ll get a warm feeling knowing all the money from the paycheck will go either for art supplies of clif bars (lots of bicyclin’ these days)
Well, kinda like Steve Rubel biting into Dell’s blog before it even had a chance to marinate, I should probably give it a few weeks before offering any take on CrunchBoard. Being a professor, I am selfish and want to steer my students in the right direction, jobwise. I care about the UX-who doesn’t?–but overall my concern is “are these quality jobs and are candidates actually landing them?” Also, do either of these sites offer any kind of statistical tracking or visual job mapping aides?
I added the board to my site because the jobs are well above the average. We’ve had it on A List Apart for going on two months now. People seem happy.
Great idea!
[...] Apparently however, reposting “cool” jobs is totally in right now (another site I had to unsubscribe from). Go figure. [...]
Why post on the 37signals job board?
