Jobs #

Career-related stuff for geeks like me.

Websites #

There are many recruitment websites, but it is rather difficult to know which ones are actually well-used and popular with employers. Monster may have much advertising, and I started there assuming that this meant it was a good site to use. It’s not, and in retrospect perhaps the reason there was so much advertising for it was precisely because few people use it.

Anyways, I found that JobSite is pretty good for IT, but is perhaps superceded by the most highly recommended site I’ve found so far, Planet Recruit. Apparently this includes most if not all of the JobSite positions, with quite a few more on top.
