Everything on this page is free to use. These are the 110 job board entries I keep in the library, grouped so you can start with the one that fits where you are right now instead of reading the whole list.
Job-search companion tool that helps career changers and remote workers discover open roles, compare opportunities, and track applications across different markets.
Why I recommend it: Useful when you want to look beyond the big job boards and find roles matched to your specific situation, especially if remote flexibility matters to you.
A connected-candidate recruiting platform that matches job seekers with employers based on skills and fit, with tools for both candidates and hiring teams.
Why I recommend it: A niche job-matching option worth testing alongside the larger boards; set up a profile and see what roles it surfaces for your skills.
A vetted marketplace matching senior engineers, researchers and AI specialists with companies. Free for engineers to apply and be matched; companies pay only on hire.
From the site: Hire global, AI-first engineers with Index.dev. Skip delays and scale your tech team with pre-verified, secure, and compliant talent to build faster.
Why I recommend it: Free on the candidate side — you are the product being placed. Expect a real vetting process rather than a quick apply button.
An open-source (MIT) job-hunting automation tool that scans company career pages every 15 minutes, submits applications to applicant tracking systems when it is confident about a match, pulls wider market listings through the Adzuna jobs API, and sends alerts to Telegram.
Why I recommend it: Powerful and blunt. Auto-submitting applications will get you volume, not fit, so if you run this, keep the confidence threshold high and still write your own answers for the roles you actually want. Read the code before you hand it your resume.
Job market data drawn from employer career sites since 2007 — 350+ million postings used for hiring-trend research, competitive analysis, and investment research.
Why I recommend it: Not a job board — it is where the hiring trend numbers come from. Handy when you want evidence about a field instead of vibes.
Journalism, PR, communications, social media and content jobs, searchable by role, location and beat. Free to browse and apply without an account.
Why I recommend it: Strong for media, public relations and content-marketing pivots. Many listings link straight to the employer's application page, so it's worth checking even if the headline role isn't a perfect match.
Free job board and staffing service from one of the largest talent agencies in the US: search openings by role and location, upload a resume once, and get matched with recruiters for temporary, contract and permanent roles across administrative, light industrial, technology, finance and healthcare work.
Why I recommend it: Worth registering even if you are not applying today — recruiters here often work roles that never get posted publicly, and the intake is free to job seekers.
A free job board focused on AI, machine learning, data science, and data engineering roles, with company listings and a career insights blog. Job seekers can browse and search openings at no cost; employers pay to post roles.
Short pieces worth the twenty minutes before you commit to anything bigger.

In plain terms: This guide lists 35 verified free and low-cost AI tools for job seekers. You can use it to find help with writing resumes, practicing interviews, checking salaries, and finding open roles.
Why I recommend it: Start here if you are overwhelmed by AI job-search tools. Everything listed has a usable free tier, and the pricing was verified directly with each vendor.
Huntr blog post ranking 101 job search sites by real usage data from over 1,003,000 saved jobs and 602,000 applications, including interview rates for the largest boards.
Why I recommend it: Use this to build a shortlist of boards for your industry instead of spraying every site. Niche boards often outperform the big names.
A job search built on top of an AI recruiting platform, with best-match ranking, saved job preferences, and filters by category, industry, and experience level across a very large aggregated listing pool.
Why I recommend it: Set your job preferences first — the default feed is enormous and only becomes useful once the matching has something to work with.
Neurodiversity employment network that matches autistic, ADHD, and dyslexic candidates with employers seeking neurodivergent talent in software, UX, and data roles.
Why I recommend it: Built by neurodivergent founders. The matching process is designed around strengths rather than interview performance.
Job board for social impact technology roles at nonprofits, government, and mission-driven companies.
In plain terms: This job board features technology roles focused on social impact. You can find openings at nonprofits, government agencies, and mission-driven companies.
Why I recommend it: Fewer listings than the big boards, but a much higher share worth applying to.
Job listings from employers who have publicly committed to age-inclusive hiring practices.
In plain terms: This directory highlights companies committed to age-inclusive hiring practices and multigenerational workplaces. You can use it to find and connect with employers that actively value experienced workers.
Why I recommend it: Applying where age-inclusive hiring is a stated commitment beats applying everywhere and hoping.
Job board dedicated specifically to AI, machine learning, and big data roles — ML engineering, data science, NLP, computer vision, AI research — aggregated from companies worldwide.
Why I recommend it: If you are specifically targeting an AI/ML role rather than "tech in general," this is more signal, less noise than a general tech board.
Non-profit building the responsible tech community, with free reports, career guides, mentorship programmes, a job board and a large directory of people working on tech and society issues.
From the site: We
Why I recommend it: One of the best free entry points if you want to move into responsible tech — the reports and community directory are open to anyone, no membership needed.
A free job board from All Tech Is Human, a nonprofit working to grow the responsible technology field, listing openings in AI policy, trust and safety, AI ethics, responsible AI governance, digital rights, and adjacent roles at companies, nonprofits, governments, and universities. Listings are free to browse without an account.
Why I recommend it: If you want to work on the governance side of AI rather than the engineering side, this is one of the few boards that aggregates exactly those roles. Filter by policy, trust and safety, or responsible AI and check weekly — the field is small and good postings move fast.
Yes. Every entry in the Launchpad Library is free to use. Anything that starts charging, or hides the useful part behind a paywall, comes off the list.
Where should I start with job board?
Start with the first section on this page. Those are the entries I hand to people most often, because they change something the same week you use them.
