Has anyone had any luck posting your resume on job search sites (Indeed, Careerbuilde

Just wondering if any legitimate companies have ever contacted you from posting your resume?

It seems people have gotten some interest from LinkedIn, but it seems LinkedIn is a different beast all together.

Careerbuilder helped me find my first job earlier in my career. Indeed not so much but dont keep that updated. Mostly LinkedIn is where it's at.

Yes I've been contacted and took a job from posting my resume on job boards. I get way too much crap these days though so not really worth it.

I've had good luck on those sites, that's how I got my first IT job. I get calls pretty regularly any time I put my resume back up there. dice.com and monster.com are two good ones as well.

I honestly just find out which company is hiring and go directly to their website and apply.

Early in your career, it's excellent, because you need to get literally any experience in IT. But once you get past the entry-level portion of your career, you probably won't want to put your resume on job boards.

I have had legitimate contacts from linked in as well as indeed. If you are looking for a new position there is no harm because you never know where your next opportunity will come from.

I got my current job after responding to an ad on Indeed.

My last few positions have been through Indeed.
I just took a part time job as well via LinkedIn.

Not what I was asking in the original post. I know people get jobs from Indeed, yet did you get your job from posting your resume on indeed and someone else contacted you....

A few but not as many as you think, mainly contracts. Just guessing ~90% of the time it's short term contracts or 6 month right to hire for mid sized companies. Maybe once or twice I was contact directly from a talent acquisition from a "real" company.

Where I have been contacted for direct hire positions mainly, such as Mastercard, Centene, RGA, AT&T and Verizon was from LinkedIn. I proactively link in with as many of these recruiters as I can. The one's who actually work for the company not the 3rd party types.

I have been contacted plenty of times but have not had it lead anywhere yet. I don't mind talking to recruiters so I don't mind them calling. I just state that I'm looking for full-time work (no contracts, sorry, I hate jumping every 6-12months). And I state my salary demands right away, so we don't waste any time. Usually the conversations end there--if they're not in my ballpark then we're not even having a conversation.

Indeed got me my first job in networking. I got a call from a recruiter the same day I uploaded my resume.

I gotten my current job by it being posted on indeed.com

This was for a desktop support position for a local gov't institution.

I get numerous calls a day from Indian recruiters for cheap helpdesk jobs in other states

I'll post my resume. A fresh one on one of the aggregate job boards with YOUR phone number. You can dodge recruiters for me. Particularly those help desk/support desk and SAS calls. I'll give you the salary information and if it sounds good you can forward the lead to me and I will decide whether or not to follow up. Actually, for the right person this would be a good job - phone screening but still. Let me mull this idea over as I know I am not the only one with this problem. - b/eads

I've got some hits off of Indeed. I'm constantly getting calls from Indian recruiters about jobs, usually contract stuff out of state. I haven't got many recently, though (fingers crossed.) Maybe I got lucky & removed myself from the correct list.
