Build a small search stack with one quality-control source, one coverage source and a clear reason for each.
Adapt the process to your profession and location. Frupy provides informational guidance, not legal, financial, tax or employment advice.
01 · Write a one-paragraph search brief
Define two target titles, acceptable adjacent titles, seniority, countries where an employer must be able to hire, sustainable working hours, employment type and minimum total compensation. This is the filter that every board must serve.
Put the decision in a simple tracker before opening another source. A written constraint prevents an attractive but impossible role from consuming attention twice.
02 · Choose one calm source
Select a board that reduces first-pass decision work through screening, remote specificity, company context or a tightly defined niche. Use it for slower, higher-attention review rather than constant refreshing.
Treat every platform label as a prompt to inspect the specific vacancy. Only current employer terms define the job, eligible location and application process.
03 · Choose one wide source
Add a larger index for market coverage. Narrow it aggressively by exact title, publication window, location and work arrangement. The wide source should reveal opportunities, not reset your criteria.

04 · Give the experiment two weeks
Track qualified roles, completed applications, useful replies and interviews by source. Remove a feed that produces only duplicates or false geographic matches, even if it is popular.

Keep the system lighter than the search
Review the process after two weeks. Remove fields, alerts and boards that do not change decisions. Preserve the few checks that prevent expensive mistakes: verified employer identity, current vacancy, exact hiring location, worker classification, compensation and next action.
Public social reviews can identify a useful question, but anonymous identities and hiring outcomes are rarely independently verifiable. A repeated Reddit, Instagram or Facebook theme should lead to a product check or direct question, not an unsupported success or failure statistic.
