The vast majority of jobs found on Dice, Hotjobs, Monster, and CareerBuilder are placed there by recruiters, not the companies themselves.
Why is this bad ? Because recruiters very often decline to give the name of the company, and variations in the job description make it seem that two jobs are different, but in reality are for the same job, just thru a different recruiter.
What happens then is that if you apply to both, companies usually pass you by if you've been submitted twice by two different hiring agencies, for fear of getting into a pissin match as to who got you in first, whether you are qualified or not.
Hotlinuxjobs never has more than 10 or so very high level development positions, Mojolin never gets more than 5 jobs at any time in any area, and opensourcejobs.org is the same.
My personal experience is that a better way to find a job is to search out company's own website...I see more listings there that aren't on job boards.
p.s. anyone looking to hire a Senior Unix/Linux Sysadmin with 10 years experience in the Bay Area ?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
