RecentlyPostedJobs vs Dice
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better than Dice at finding newly posted software, data science and AI jobs.
A long-running IT and contracting board — lots of listings, lots of staffing-firm copies.

What Dice is
Dice focuses on technology and often on contract or corp-to-corp roles posted by staffing firms. The same requisition is shopped across agencies, each with its own “posted today” stamp.
Why that is a weaker way to find new jobs
If you want the employer’s own software requisition the day it opens, Dice’s agency layer is the long way around. You may apply to a third party that does not control the seat, or see the same job five times with five dates.
Why RecentlyPostedJobs is better
- We skip staffing-board copies and read the employer ATS instead.
- Employment type (full-time, intern, contract) is classified from the employer title and ATS fields, not from an agency wrapper.
- First-seen dates do not reset when a vendor re-posts the same id.
- The list is SWE/DS/AI, not every help-desk and ERP contract Dice accepts.
- You apply to the employer that owns the seat, not a vendor who recast the same req this morning.
- Contract vs full-time is the employer’s field, so a staffing wrapper cannot relabel the date.
