I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don't use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.

As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.

Honestly I feel kind of sad about today's corporate field.

You can't job hunt privately, the whole point is to sell your services to a public market.
