Are Architecture Job Boards still useful?

Architecture job boards are still useful, but they work best as one part of a wider job-search strategy.

Stephen Drew, Jack Moran and Will Ridgway discuss whether architecture job boards still work, how COVID-19 changed job hunting, direct applications, networking, LinkedIn, candidate visibility, recruitment tools and building a personal brand.

The conversation covers:

What job boards still do well for architecture candidates
Where adverts fall short if they become your only route
How direct applications, recruiters, LinkedIn and networks fit together
Why candidate visibility matters in a changing market
How to turn job adverts into better CV, portfolio and interview preparation
