Engineer.net

...a somewhat different job source for engineers. They sign up clients (employers) and then use a robot to index the jobs listed on the client's website. When you execute a search at Engineer.net, the results direct you to the client's website where you review the posting and submit your resume directly to them. If you wish, you can store an "agent" to execute this search on whatever schedule you wish and then email you the results. My concerns: I see no real information tell me "who is Engineer.net".

TechXtra: OneStep Jobs

"Latest Job Vacancies in Engineering, Mathematics, & Computing from Top Sources." This is pretty cool. Yes, it's a aggregator, but it operates a little differently than most of these services. First, it is limited to these specific engineering and mathematics-related areas. Second, it only includes services selected for their value, not their huge content. Third, "It is important to note that OneStep Services contain only the latest items available from a range content providers - not access to their full content." You can search all the feeds or just select those that interest you the most. TechXtra is an initiative of Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, and was developed by staff from the Library, the ICBL and Media Services, so it is a little biased towards the UK, but it's good.
