What recruiting platforms have worked best for you?

I have been curious about which recruiting platforms companies actually find most effective when hiring globally. With so many tools and job boards available today, it seems like every company ends up testing a few different options before finding what works best.

For teams looking to hire in India, professional networks often seem to be a starting point. Platforms like LinkedIn are commonly used because they make it easier to connect with candidates who already have experience working with international companies.

Some companies also rely on referrals through existing employees or industry contacts. These recommendations often lead to candidates who already understand the expectations of remote teams.

Others explore job boards and online communities where remote roles are frequently shared, which can attract candidates actively looking for global opportunities.

Once the right candidate is found, companies still need to think about how the employment will work. Hiring employees in India involves understanding local labor laws, payroll requirements, and statutory benefits.

For companies without a legal entity in India, Employer of Record arrangements sometimes become part of the hiring process so employment contracts, payroll, and compliance follow local regulations.

Curious what has worked best for others. Which recruiting platforms have consistently brought strong candidates for your team?
