    jobserve ... all you need?

    is jobserve the only job posting website you need when it comes to job searching? We all know that a lot of job posts will be duplicated across jobserve, cwjobs, the itjobboard etc but there seems to be more on jobserve than say cwjobs for example.

    what are the chances of a job being posted on one of the other sites and not on jobserve?

    Fairly high as I believe that Jobserve fees are steeper than the others. Jobsite certainly has roles that don't appear on Jobserve.
    I've also had more calls from Agents pulling my CV off Jobsite than Jobserve with a higher quality of offers. That said I've also had unsolicited mails from CV and placement companies off Jobsite which annoy me.

      Reed is also worth checking. They have quite a few that they don't post on other sites. They might post them later once they realise they are getting a poor response.

          Reed is also worth checking if you have no skills and want a data entry job for £8~ an hour.

            That much? That's good even by Reed's standards.
            If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

              Definitely use approx 3 or 4 different job sites if you want the best coverage. Some agencies use jobserve for advertising but maybe not searching 4candidates. Plus the smaller agencies are always generally moving across the top jobsites so for the best chance I would definitely use 3 or 4 different specialist job sites.

                cwjobs seems to reap a lot of rewards for a guy I know looking for Senior BA positions in the Manchester- Leeds M62 corridor area.

                  Jobsites

                  Best named job site: www.gisajob.com

                  Jobsite and Jobserve definitely have different jobs.

                    I only bother with Jobserve and then cherry pick. I've never been out of work apart from when I wanted a break so never felt the need to trawl through the other sites...
