Reply to: Apart from JobServe ....

[MojoDog]

Current contract, previous contract and a freelance job 'on the side' (that has got me repeat work) all originated from people contacting me on Linkedin.

Prior to that pimps contacted me after finding my cv on Jobsite, Jobserve and Indeed.

Jobserve and Jobsite seem to work best for me, for both finding something myself and agents finding me
Technojobs and CWJobs are fine as well, but not for agents finding me
More and more LinkedIn as well
Monster: complete tulip
Anyway in most cases the same job gets advertised on every board

[TheFaQQer]

Agents ring me, most of the time.

Granted, not when I'm looking, but it's been four years since I was on a jobs board.

... what are the next best sites, services, way or means that you use to find a contract?

I got most calls from agents mentioning jobsite.

New one to me: http://www.indeed.co.uk/?r=us

[jjdarg]

I find I get the most cold calls for unadvertised roles from keeping my cv refreshed on jobsite.co.uk

[worzelGummidge]

There is also a Jobsite just for the guys and girl in London - Don't know what it is though.

thx ... i've been out of the searching game for a while ... not anymore ... but last time i was searching cwjobs just displayed the same jobs as jobserve...is that still the case?

Personally, I use Jobserve and cwjobs. However I find Jobserve the best. I think that there are different roles on there though.

Linkedin can be good, but makesure you are well networked. If not, then its not very good

[SteelyDan]

I seem to get more hits from Jobsite than anything.

Ditto

cwjobs is supposed to be quite good.
Monster seems to have the lower end contracts/agents in my experience. Maybe something to do with the charges.

Forum search for one, as this has been discussed on numerous ocasions in details. Alternatively - indeed.co.uk

searched through forums here and didn't see many hits
