You should certainly try using job search engines provided by monster.com and careerbuilder.com, but don't dismiss niche job search engines or just alternative search engines.
Advertising on specialized sites is typically cheaper, and applicants that use these sites tend to be qualified for specific industries and positions. Therefore, employers may not feel a need to post the job on a larger site. Try CraigsList.com or Quintessential Careers, Worktree.com or Career XRoads to get a feel for these alternatives to the big job search engines.
