Hello!... and question.

[New boy]

Hi all,

My first post - Hello!

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been reading a few threads and done a couple of searches and can't quite find the answer.

As a newcomer to contracting I wanted to make sure my web searches for contracts cover as much of the market as possible. The search engine on this site is a cool combination of 3 sources but I was wondering if there are other sources that I should look at.

I've been looking at the following:

1. Jobserve
2. Jobsite
3. Indeed
4. TechnoJobs [via here]
5. Dice [via here]

Would you recommend any others? Is there a definitive list?

Indeed seems to cover quite a few sources but I've seen it flag up ads as new that were posted months ago.

All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Newbie, sorry, New boy
(another one here!)

My list is pretty much that. I keep expecting Reed and Hays to have more, but I guess they're more "temp" rather than "contract".

I've never used Indeed, or even heard of Dice before. The others look OK to me, but it's been a while since I was looking.

I'm on the Dice mailing list, but have never used them.

Something I do is just upload my CV to a few so it triggers a notification for the recruiters! Other than that, lots of agencies post the same job offer on many different job boards so if you find 5 or so you like, you'll pretty much cover a good percentage of the advertised contract jobs.

Indeed and Dice seem to be oft recommended by the 'advisors' in Job Centres
