I'm really interested in finding full-stack dev talent in Portugal, but not sure where to look. I've tried LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. but /shrug. Any ideas?

We need to make a few hires, but sourcing talent is either more time consuming or more expensive (head hunters) than it feels like it should be.

LinkedIn should work. There's also LandingJobs, a Portuguese hiring website specifically for devs.

Don't use job postings in linkedin. Just search and approach people yourself. I think for 600 a month you can promote your account to recruiter lite. You can approach as many people you like. Be aware of the fact that sourcing is almost a fulltime job. Compare that to a 15% fee most recruiters can be negotiated to.

super expensive!

I am not sure how to help but from my own experience most of the Portuguese devs I know got tired of working low-salaries on mostly near-shore outsourcing teams and moved to London, Berlin, Geneve, Zurich, Amsterdam (more or less in that order).

You could try reaching out to devs in those cities, I am sure many would be more than willing to move back home for the right price.

Actually I don't mind at all if they move to Berlin. In fact I'm thinking to set up an office there because that's where a lot of talent in the EU ends up anyways (as you know).

P.S. I don't think them moving to London is such a big risk anymore))

I’ve had some great success finding affordable, senior Rails developers in Portugal on Upwork

Not one job has a salary on it. Why do they think people work? What a waste of everyone's time.

unfortunately that's pretty much the norm in job ads in portugal, you never really know until you get to the interview :(

Fantastic, thank you! I've registered and will post there for sure.
