    Hi All, I post a question about the recruitment agency use of Monster, finding real jobs on Monster etc. Somebody I didn't recognise (probably a US member by the time...) suggested a site called Dice. The Dice site is very US centric and I was wondering if there was a UK equivalent...

    Its a difficult one, when I was looking for a job prior to the one I have. I tried monster and got called by many different agencies that trawled through it. I found the same with indeed. The only thing I found better was to trawl through the recruitment agencies themselves one by one and keep the better ones on a list for potential future job hunts. Computer Futures was one that I had good results / feedback from. Evolution was another good. both of these companies gave me so much ammo before the interview that my chances of 2nd round interviews were always high.

        Hmm, what I was thinking. Indeed are a strange one, I was going through recruitment agencies web sites, Jobserve is my friends who contact for use but I haven't seen much on it.

          For developer jobs I usually find more advertised on http://www.cwjobs.co.uk/[^]. I've never applied for anything advertised there ..... yet! - so I don't know anything else about them. ... good luck in finding something good soon.:thumbsup:

              JobServe is what I've used in the past. It started off as IT recruitment and then branched out to cover all sorts.

                Technojobs.co.uk You could always reach out to the IT community within other specialist sites, e.g. O&G related have IT sections (oilcareers.com and oilandgasjobsearch.com)

                    Progressive IT used to be very good too - so may be worth a go.
