Jobserve contracts

Jobserve isn't perhaps the holygrain it once was (especially with all the funny changes on the homepage) and definitely CW,technojobs seem to have had jobs not on JS.

1. Which website is the best if I am looking for IT contract in London and don't want to restrict myself to finance sector? Looking either for C++ or C# positions.
2. Is the contract market dead? I have a lot of interviews but no results.
3. I also going for the interviews for permie positions. They all started with some tests (that nobody could complete in time) and no feedback yet.
Please, share your thoughts.

searching for .net contracts on jobserve only seems to bring back highly specialised finance opportunities and other with mandatories that I've never even heard of ... what is Castle Windsor FFS

anyone think roles are getting filled before making it to jobserve? Are recruiters cutting costs and by passing Jobserve? If so how are they filling roles?

c++ jobs on jobserve

i've been wondering why searches for c++ jobs in london return less than half what itjobsboard returns.

Hmmm, their db will be full of matching candidates. It sounds like a big waste of time to call all matches who probably are employed.

It's called bulk email.

Then you can go do CV searches online.

They fill roles by going through their CV database first. Then look at the jobs boards.

It is easier to cut/paste job spec and use sw to filter out matching/unmatching cv or banned candidates ...

looks overly complex to me and just like most niche skills that usually fall by the wayside
