More information on our journey to find the best places to list jobs.
A suggestion came up to try posting a job on Linked In. I have used Linked In jobs before and I got a couple of resumes from it, it is a US company and it is easy to use and only 199$. I was considering it.
So I decided I would research it a little bit, I went to Linked in and searched for jobs in Vietnam. It seemed to come up with many jobs for PHP developers. Some in HCMC and some in Hanoi. seemed kind of promissing, but then I decided to find out how many of the jobs were in Hanoi. So I search Linked in for PHP in "Hanoi Vietnam" instead of only "Vietnam" and.... No results.
Turns out, the ONLY results you can find are for "Vietnam". Not very useful (people do not travel across the whole country for jobs). This reduced my confidence here, but then I noticed a little note next to the results that DID show up. The note showed the the job listing was imported from another site.
Basically this means that companies are NOT using linked in to post jobs in Vietnam. So I connected to the most popular of these sites and looked at posting there.
http://tuyendung.com.vn/ had a free registration and it let me go through the process of setting up job postings with no expense - Once everything is entered, it appears to be inthe 'pending' state. I dont have any emails or anything saying there is another step. Hopefully this means that a person will review the posting and accept. Or maybe they will contact me and request payment. Either way I wil update when I find out what it takes to get listed on the Linked In site in Vietnam.
