Best place to post jobs for Pro/E users?

[bvanhiel]

We are a small design firm that has been relying on our personal networks to recruit contractors for Pro/E. The work we do is very modeling intensive, so personal knowledge of capabilities served us well. Now we need a contractor, but our network is tapped out!

I was suprised to see sites like Monster, CareerBuilder, Yahoo, etc charging $400 for a month long posting. Even this site wants $125, but it will obviously reach a much smaller number of people. I've already posted on Craigslist (free), but haven't gotten much response. We're not averse to spending money, but I want to make sure it's going to work.

So the question is: What job-seeking sites do you use and recommend? Are there Pro/E contractor specific job boards out there (things like sologig.com) that I should post on?

Thanks,

b

I do all my contracting through word of mouth from past employers and coworkers. I would advertise the need on your own website. Anyother commerical means is going to cost you money. You could go through a temp agency that way candidates can be tested/weeded out of the pool.

Local users groups are another resource. I haven't found any Pro/E groups near me though. Might be one in your area though.
I still attend our local Solidworks group meetings, and there are always conversations about who is hiring, etc...

A good networking contact is often the local reseller or PTC rep. They will know many of the good contractors. Some of them even provide contractors.

There is always the local paper and the department of labor.

The above suggestions are great.

If you are looking for a junior designer (now or in the future), call the Universities and Trade Schools in your area and find out if they use Pro/E. Often, they have Industry Liaison offices to help you.

I was cherry picked while I was in school and had a very good run with my first employer.

pejn.com..it's a good place for a company to put up their own jobs.

Nice thing about it is you can really spell out what you want.
