Hi Chris,
At PMI.org or in the different chapters websites you can find a section for job offers.
I found my last challenges/opportunities using LinkedIn.

Good luck!

That makes sense. However, I am getting far too many requests through Linkedin that are completely off. Wrong industry or seniority level.
Not many employers post on the PMI websites. I tried myself to find somebody for my team and received almost no applications.

Thanks for your input!

"However, I am getting far too many requests through Linkedin that are completely off. Wrong industry or seniority level."

I see LinkedIn as a "Push" rather than a "Pull" when it comes to a job search. I get tons of request and notifications of job openings pulled in from recruiters asking if I am interested. Mostly I ignore them, but there are a few recruiters I stay in contact with and just say "no, thank you."

Where I see the value in LinkedIn is in their job boards and the ability to push your availability out to your network. I regularly share notices from connections that are looking for work, and depending on how closely I've worked with them in the past, will include a recommendation when I do.

Dice, Zip Recruiter, Indeed - all have good amount of project management jobs. LinkedIn also is good if you keep providing feedback (a thumbs up or down) to the job it shows you. I am not sure though if that is a premium member feature or generally available.

LinkedIn is a powerful tool but you need to be careful with the filters you put for job opportunities. You might get some that are off but others will be within your requirements, that was my experience.

However, if you want project management related job site, you can check PM Job Portal: https://careercenter.pmi.org/

On the other hand, I find Career Builder, Zip Recruiter and Indeed to be very useful websites.

Hope this helps.
