I like dice.com and craigslist but I was wondering what the collective wisdom of Stackoverflow would produce on this subject. I'd like to know particularly about software developer/engineer/architect boards not so much administration or web design.
NOTE: Similar Post Developer Employment Resources
monster.com used to be ok. I havent used it in years, though. Also, jobs.cnet.com usually has a lot of java dev/architect positions listed. Might try jobs.joelonsoftware.com and careerbuilder while you're at it as well.
If you decide to go the recruiter route, choose wisely! I've heard of some having good experiences with Robert Half, but I have not had good experiences with them. There used to be one called Maxim Group. Stay away from them as well.

local job search sites
My preference is to utilize my existing contacts (linkedin, facebook, local user groups) for job hunting
I look on Workopolis/Monster/Careerbuilder a lot.
However, I've found it much more useful to sign up with recruiters instead, who can match what you're looking for more precisely with jobs. Usually when I let the recruiters in the city know that I'm looking for something, I get a steady stream of calls from them about jobs, rather than having to do the work myself. :)
I've gotten all of my jobs since 2000 via Monster. However, not one of those jobs was listed on their service. Instead, recruiters found my resume there before the job was listed and got in touch with me that way.
http://www.indeed.com. It aggregates/searches job postings from many other job posting sites, such as monster, careerbuilder, etc. It also has useful utilities like job trends. It has a clean google-like interface.
I actually spent the money to spam myself out via Resume Rabbit.
The way I looked at it was it would take care of covering all of the tedious, crappy, online avenues leaving me free to concentrate on other routes.
And in the end, I did end up finding my current job through one of the sites Resume Rabbit posted me to.
Based on my experience, I've found that by simply submitting your resume to any one of the well known job sites already mentioned, you're signing yourself up for near instant feedback from recruiters. Now, it's YOUR turn to interview the recruiters that'll soon be knocking your door down. Every other recruiter will have some job that is either (a) a keyword match to something on your resume but clearly not what you're aiming to do, (b) you're "a perfect fit for this position", (c) not even remotely close to your location, or (d) .. I don't know ... I couldn't understand their broken English.
It is, however, a great way to get dialog going with the larger recruiting companies. Interviews are a two-way game, so interview your recruiter so you can be sure they're not pulling your chain.
Depending on where you are located, Craigslist may be a gold mine. I've been hired on for two positions since I started using it and I've had around a dozen interviews.
Its not overrun with recruiters (at least in the Greater Toronto Area). In my experience, 50% of the time my resume has gone directly to the employer.
Another possibility, more akin to pounding the pavement, is to type "software development near toronto" (or your city) into Google Maps. It provides links to software company websites where you might find luck in the career section(s). Benefit is that you can eyeball your commute.
37Signals' Job Board (http://jobs.37signals.com/) seems to have some pretty good positions, primarily in web development. A lot of those positions are not in the West Coast of the United States, either, which is sometimes a good thing.
They also have a gig board (http://gigs.37signals.com/) for more contract-type positions.
i like dice.com since their advanced search lets you search full-telecommute-only jobs
My suggestion would be to look at various contracting firms that may have an office in your area. Out here in Calgary there is Robert Half International, RIS, Metafore, Sapphire Technologies, and S.i. systems that I've used in the past and felt OK with in the end.
In UK i use.
cwjobs.co.uk theitjobboard.com monster.co.uk jobserve.co.uk
I generally browse craigslist.com, startuply.com, and dice.com. Also I try to keep track of new ventures that have gotten funding and might be looking for talent. genotrope.com is a boston area website i look at often for that.
Another great job search engine to help job seekers look for jobs: http://www.careerjet.com
Definitely worth looking at!
Well, since it hasn't been mentioned yet, we do now have a Stack Overflow Jobs Board.
