The big boards are totally dominated by recruiters and never give a handy filter to let you ask for direct job adverts only so they are (at face value) quite useless. But wait! There is a use for them, it is usually possible to get a list of all the companies that advertise with the board (sorted by industry, etc), and in these lists it is easy to scan for real companies (avoid the recruiters) and then you can start building your own list of companies that look interesting. You can also easily collect links to the home pages of these companies and often those homepages contain a list of genuine vacancies.
To be blunt, there is no substitute for doing your own research and actively keeping track of the industry.
