Listings for Multiple Countries or Regions

Antal International: ..."a network of over 50 fully-staffed offices in 24 countries, recruiting talent in a range of industry sectors & skill functions. Since inception in 1993 Antal has placed executives in over 75 countries and offers clients a choice of recruitment & staffing solutions from Retained Executive Search, Search & Selection to Contingent Recruitment in Permanent, Interim & Contract / Temporary staffing." Visitors can easily search their database of jobs and forward resumes/CVs to the listed consultant via email without registering. If you do not see something that matches your qualifications, you can register and submit a resume for future consideration. At the time of review we saw numerous postings from all around the world in a number of industries and job areas.
ART: Atlantic Research Technologies: ..."Worldwide executive search firm for upper and middle management and staff: high-tech, industrial and service sectors." Please note that even though they are a world-wide recruitment firm, they will only accept American or Canadian style resumes in English. They do have information for you to follow in converting your resume to this style. A sample of the jobs they are working to fill is available.
Avotek Headhunters International Site: ...a service of Avotek, this site includes information on the many books they publish on the International job search, but they also provide links to international job banks, recruiters, and other sources.
CareerJet: ...an international employment search engine. You can search by keywords and location or browse the jobs by industry or location. They also offer subsets of the mega database by country (oooh, Malta!). Select the CareerJet Worldwide tab to view the list of countries and target your search a bit more effectively.
Employerjobs.com: ...UK-based website with numerous job listings. They do have job listings from many other countries besides the UK, and you can find them quickly by merely doing a keyword search on the country of your choice. Jobseekers are not required by are strongly encouraged to create an account, upload a CV, and set up search alerts, all of which are free services. However, applications are made directly to the employers or agents posting jobs on this site, so storing your CV here is more for exposure than application ease. You also have the *option* of posting a public "Employ Me Now" advertisement which will appear on the front page of the site, but only registered employers have access to your CV.
Eurojobs.com: ..."pan-European job site." Any visitor can search the jobs and review the listings, but you must register in order to apply for positions found listed here. I personally prefer the "Jobs by Country" feature, because as you pull up each country you will see how many jobs in that country are listed (if any) and in what fields.
Goinglobal.com: Going Global is designed to support international job seekers and professionals with a great array of original country-specific career information. This site's content and links provide users with a comprehensive tool kit for evaluating, selecting and transitioning into a successful career in a foreign country, including resume/CV writing advice, job sources, work permit and visa regulations, cultural advice on more than 40 countries. Based on Mary Anne Thompson's book The Global Resume and CV Guide, this is a treasure-trove of not only where to look but how to look for new opportunities in various countries. Mary Anne is an expert in this field, and the material in the database and in the book is original country content that is being hand gathered, monitored and updated by in-country professional researchers. Some of the content is provided directly on this and other partner sites for free. The majority of the content however is in a PDF format and available for purchase and download for a very reasonable fee. Most of the country guides are over 70 pages long and are filled with excellent articles and information resource lists. If you are serious about your international job search, then the guides are worth the investment.
iAgora.com: ...clearinghouse of internships, jobs, study, and housing opportunities for recent college grads seeking opportuniites internationally. Most listings are in Europe. Membership is free but is not required to see the iWork job listings, but some are "anonymized" so only paying members can review them. You must register to apply for any listings found here, and if you decide you want to be a paying member, the fee is low.
iHipo.com: ...based in Singapore, "iHipo stands for international High Potential network. iHipo is a social network that connects students and young professionals with international employers. It serves as a platform for peer-to-peer communication and recruiting." Very nice selection of international jobs and internships here. You can search the jobs without registering, but to apply you must register (free). iHipo targets college and university graduates, and you must provide the name of your school at the time of registration. It then asks you to please fill in a complete profile so employers can find you. Any false profiles will be removed as this site wants to maintain a high level of professionalism. US students seeking employment abroad must note that many of these jobs require proficiency in languages other than English plus the appropriate work visas.
International Herald Tribune: ...news and information from all over the world. Scroll to the bottom of the front page to find the link to the Classifieds.

Absolutely wonderful!
InternationalStudent.com: ...offers a one-stop shop for any service a student wishing to study abroad could need, including job listings. I only noticed US jobs in the job search database (plus 9 listings from Ontario) but they did offer suggestions for searching for work in other countries. Nice info for students on loans, colleges that are willing to help fund foreign students, insurance needs, etc.
JobPilot: ...international job market with offices in several countries plus the US. Services through their web site include job listings (search by keyword or country and discipline and limit it to the most recent or all), a resume database, company listings, and an email service. Resume posting and email service require registration for the Premium Service, but this is free. JobPilot was sold to Monster by Adecco in April 2004, so I am watching for the inevitable changes that come with any Monster acquisition.
JobShark: ...this international career site has entered new waters along with new partners ElSition and MaST Americas to expand into Central and South America. These are additions to their previous offering for Canada, Ireland, and the UK. Countries represented at this time are Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, and Mexico.

Teaching Opportunities Abroad: ...resources and opportunities for persons wishing to teach outside of the US. Some positions are volunteer, but everything that I'm seeing is paid. Also, most of the postings are for ESL / EFL teachers but this site is not limited to this subject field. You can review the most recent listings without registering (free), but access to the full job database is limited to registered users.
TipTopJob: ...based in the UK, this international job board allows you to search across more than 30 industry sectors to find jobs that interest you. You do not need to register to review the jobs, but applying for a job through this site will register you as a user and place your resume / CV in their database.

Breitbach & Partner
...brief description of opportunities for Germany, in German.
easy4more
...job postings and employer listings for the German State “North Rhine-Westphalia”. I am relying a bit on the original description sent to me by the website manager because my knowledge of German is limited to music terms, but even I was able to find listings of local companies as well as numerous job listings.
ICjobs
I am having to rely on this organization for a description as I do not read German. "In contrast to the well-known online recruitment sites we search directly on company websites. Currently we crawl over 1,320,000 companies and list more than 200,000 jobs. Companies neither have to pay nor have to register their job offers as we detect every vacancy listed on company websites." If someone wants to really check it out and let me know what they think, I'd appreciate it.

Ireland & Northern Ireland

Office and administrative jobs in Ireland. "Our aim is to provide the best admin jobs, office jobs, HR jobs and temp jobs in Dublin, Cork, Galway and across Ireland from all employers and recruitment agencies in Ireland." It is a very new board, but already filled with lots of good stuff. Registration (free) is not required to search the board nor look at the jobs, but it might be helpful for applications if you see lots of things you like.
EirJobs.com
...no jobs, but lots of information on how to go about looking for a job in Ireland.
EmployIreland.com
...jobs in Ireland. Free registration is required to view full job announcements, including registration of your CV. You can view short entries for all listings without registering. I like the categories on the left side with an indication of how many listings are under each.
Hoteljobs.ie
....hospitality, hotel, and catering jobs in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK.
IrishJobs
Very nice site handling the Irish job market. Search jobs by keyword or look at the various databases (agencies, companies, engineering, accounting, graduates.) Submit a resume to their IT or Non-IT CV databases. They also have an IT Worldwide section for employers/job seekers looking outside of Ireland.
JobRapido
...search through all job vacancies posted on all websites in Ireland. You must use keywords. No browse feature here. I do like seeing the dates showing when the jobs were indexed.
Jobs.ie
...jobs in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The site is very easy to navigate by category or location, and if you want you can execute a search that excludes all the Recruitment Agencies. Registration is not required to view listings nor apply for positions found here. The group that runs this site runs others (legaljobs.ie, teachingjobs.ie), but the listings on those sites can be easily accessed under the appropriate categories from this main location.
JobSearch.ie
...jobs in all areas of Ireland in all sectors. The site is very easy to use, and along with the listings includes terrific advice on CV preparation, interviewing, employment rights, and much more. JobSearch.ie also operates several sites for citizens of other European countries who want to work in Ireland.

www.irelandjobs.pl -- Polish job seekers who are interested in working in Ireland.

www.irelandjobs.cz -- Czech job seekers who are interested in working in Ireland.

NIjobs.com
...you can easily search jobs on this site dedicated to Northern Ireland. Register to post your resume or receive job leads via E-mail.
Nixers.com
..full and part-time jobs in Ireland, plus some abroad. A nixer is Irish slang for a little job (traditionally, one done on the sly!), but there are full time and permanent positions here too, and I don't see anything "under the table" (as we say in the US). You can scan the many categories (I personally like the "Irish Pub Abroad" and "Crazy / Random Jobs" areas), or search by keyword. According to their FAQ, all jobs listed expire after 14 days, unless an employer has confirmed that the openings still exist. If you are really interested in the hospitality industry, they offer special rates to bars, pubs, and hotels to attract a lot of listings. If you choose a search from the left menu (company, category, location, industry) you will see how many listings are available in each area. Nice. Register your CV for free.

Their monthly newsletters include good info on hiring and industry trends along with other topics of interest to international job seekers.
Professionals.ie
...job site for IT professionals in Ireland. When you search, you must include at least one keyword describing your skills or qualifications, but I found several very good listings here. Jobs are only posted for 10 days, so this site is very current. (That information is not on the site but it was included in the email I received from the site developers.) You do not need to register to search and apply for jobs listed here.
RealJobs.ie
..."where every job is a real job." They do not permit recruiters to post here, so all jobs lead you directly to the employer. Nice feature -- you can see lists of all job categories, employers, and locations on the front page along with the number of listings in each category. Registration is not required to search the database and many listings include the employer's contact information, but some listings are "confidential" which means the only way you will be able to apply for these positions is by registering and using their "apply now" feature. Please note that if you opt to post your resume here it will not be deleted unless you either delete it yourself or ask them to delete it for you.

Careerjet.co.uk
..."an employment search engine for the UK. It allows you to search a growing selection of jobsites in one go saving you the trouble of having to go to each site individually". It is nicer than many other meta-job-search engines that I have seen. I do like the lists of Job Offers by Industry and By Function and the Company Directory on the front page.
Careers-Jobs.eu
...nice looking site with employment listings for the UK. You can easily browse by the most recent listings, sector (industry), job role (title), or location, and while browsing you can see how many listings are under each category. Any user can review the full job announcements without registering, but you will need to register and create an account in order to apply for jobs located here (free, of course). One thing I liked here -- in this day of scamming the job seekers, this site has placed a warning at the bottom of all online listings reminding you that no employer should ever request your bank account information, and they provide an email address for you to alert them if you have any problems. Nice guys! They also have some very good career advice, so check out those articles.

"Our executive job search covers all sectors including Local Government, Health, Central Government, Social Housing, Charities, Higher and Further Education & Emergency Services.

ClickAJob
...meta-search engine that covers over 70 boards at one time. Again, I'm not necessarily a fan of these things, but they do have a place in our world. One little amusing area is the Armed Forces jobs. Either the Marines (no specific country) are seriously recruiting out there or every time the word "Marine" is used (like "Marine Industry", "Marine Broker", and "Marine Environment"). Like I said, these sites are not my favorites, but I do think they find some pretty cool stuff (hey, the Royal New Zealand Navy is recruiting for experienced officers....)
CV-library.co.uk
...lots of jobs for the UK. You do not need to register your CV in order to view and/or apply for jobs posted here, but the "alternate" application is pretty darn close to registering.

...a new job board for IT professionals focused in the UK. Some good jobs here, even at this early stage, and each has a closing date. Registration is not required unless you want them to notify you when new listings in your job category are posted. I don't usually post "new" sites like this, but it has a good number of listings and seems to be working well.
JobFizz
...permanent and contract computer jobs in the UK at all levels broken down by skill and location (or you can search using keywords). They also offer a daily jobs by email service. Jobs are only listed here for 7 days, so this is one to check weekly if not a couple of times a week. Very easy to use and you can easily find what you want very quickly. Don't forget to register for the free Champagne and Chocolates if you get a job through this site.
JobNut

By checking the domain registration information I learned that it is operated by someone in India and under the Contact Us information they note that they are only checking email once a day. There appear to be many good jobs posted here, but I suggest you use the "direct apply" option and not upload a CV. You do not need to register in order to use this site, not even to apply for jobs listed here.

Israemploy
"Israel's most exciting and successful networking community!" This employment source for Israel, available in both English and Hebrew, was established in 2002 as a resource for the non-Hebrew speaking population. The Job Search feature is a bit complex, asking you for location, industry, and even preferred language (I was not able to access this feature well due to connection issues). Some areas of the site require registration for you to access them but you can access and use many features here without registering.
Jobnews.co.il
A free online job search service in Israel, or at least that is what I am told by the person who sent this to me. The site is In Hebrew (which I do not read), so you will need the Hebrew language pack for your browser in order to display this site properly.

"The Gulf's Free Jobsite." This is an anonymous network of free job sites for Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

These are free for both the job seeker and the employer listing jobs, and you can register an email address to receive announcements via email, but I would be cautious in doing that. Go ahead and view/apply for jobs as this site is not handling resumes/CVs.

South Africa

Career Classifieds
...Search or browse job listings from South Africa and other areas. Nice feature -- if there are no listings in a particular job field, that category does not display in the Browse area. A little point of clarification: on the ads under Member Info it says to "click here to view contact details to apply for this position". The "member" is the employer or recruiter who posted this ad, so you do not need to be a member to view the contact info for the jobs. It is only if you wish to use the Apply Online feature that you have to have your resume registered with the site. Registering also allows you to use other advanced features of the site.
Jobs.co.za

You can search and review the many jobs as a visitor but you must register and provide a CV for their database to apply for the jobs and access many other resources available here.

JobNavigator maintains a strict policy of not allowing employers to search our databases directly for the specific reason of concern over job seekers' confidentiality." (quoted May 1, 2008)

...jobs and information on employers around the Delhi region of India (New Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Ghaziabad). You can review listings or look at employers in the area, including government agencies.
CareerIndia
...jobs in India or other countries, primarily IT. Nice career and job search advice, all written by persons from India, but very applicable to all readers. If you are from India and would like to emigrate elsewhere to work, you should definitely review their info on Across the Seas for a quick summary of where to go, what kind of employers dominate this area, the requirements and skills in demand, and the salaries and living conditions you can expect. They also go over how to get to that country and caution you to never part with money on a promise to send you abroad.
CareerDice
...a very large source for job listings in India. It is operated by Oswal Technologies in Jaipur, Rajashtan, and offers jobs along with career advice. Some areas of the site and some services will require you to register (free), but you can search and view the jobs without registering.
DevSeeker India
...IT and engineering jobs in India. You can easily browse by job category or location, and I like seeing the number of jobs posted in each area. You can review the jobs without registering, but you will need to register in order to apply to postings found here, and we saw many good ones. The Career Center is not quite up to par and tends to draw on US resources (like the sample resumes), so I'm not sure how helpful it can be at this time.
Euphony Human Resources
...recruiting to fill open positions in India, primarily in IT or IT-related areas. There are a few other listings for administration and HR. My concern with this site is you cannot see a full job listing, only title / location / skills and education required / experience level, so you really have to go on faith when submitting your resume.
ICEJobs
Recruitment Consultants in Mumbai. Check out their section titled How to Get a Dream Job with articles on interviewing and sample resumes.
Naukri.com
...a comprehensive resource for job seekers and employers. Includes job leads which are less than 30 days old, links to placement agencies and major employers in India, and links to more resources for leads and career information in India.

Japan English Teacher
...listings of openings in Japan for teachers of English. Most of the listings specify you must currently reside in the country and hold a proper visa, but some do not.

Major topics include Art & Culture, Business & Economy, Computing, Education, Gastronomy (you know, FOOD), and much more.

NihonClassifieds.com
Find and post jobs, personals, sayonara sales and more. Some of the ads posted are in English, many are in Japanese. Pretty much all of the jobs I looked at required fluency in Japanese.
O-Hayo Sensei, The Newsletter of (Teaching) Jobs in Japan
...a free-subscription electronic newsletter that lists "the best currently available teaching (and other English language-related) positions at conversation schools, universities, jukus, colleges, public schools and companies all across Japan."

121sensei
...a website offering free listings for teachers of English or other languages in Japan. Yes, you must be in Japan to register since this is where you will be teacher, and no, you do not need to teach English, just any language other than Japanese. Students contact you privately, you contract with the privately. This is just an advertising service for you.

Mustakbil.com
...jobs in Pakistan (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and other cities). You can look at the jobs without registering, but you will need to register in order to apply for listings found here.
Bayrozgar.com
I am not sure who is operating this site (it is registered to someone in Punjab, PK), but the very fact that it includes Pakistan makes it unique in my book. It also covers several countries from the Middle East and Central Europe. The fastest way to search is to merely select the name of the country you wish to target from the list just below the top box with all the job categories. Most ads appear to have an email address for applications; you will need to register (free) to use the "Apply Now" button.

Philippines

If you are considering relocating to this country, the front page of the government's website will connect you to much of the information you need. It will also connect you to many categorical pages for additional information, including one for Labor & Welfare, a resource for citizens and noncitizens on working conditions in this country as well as abroad with warnings about overseas employment scams and illegal recruiters.
Tanikalang Ginto
Tanikalang Ginto is a huge human-edited web directory. Operated by Ken Ilio, Tanikalang Ginto has been online since 1994. Yes, you'll find a section for Job Opportunities, but users of my site will always remember that I encourage you to think "employers" and "possibilities," not just "jobs."
You should also check the resources listed under Singapore.

General information about Singapore and what it is like to live and work here. Under Career Opportunities the site offers a small database of very good jobs called "Hot Jobs in Singapore." You can also connect to some other job sites featuring jobs in Singapore.

...job and resume database for Singapore.

You have the option of placing it in the private database where it will not be accessible by recruiters and employers.
JobStreet.com Singapore
Nice site with nice opportunities for Singapore. Select the "Jobs" tab to review all the jobs sorted by date of posting, industry, specialization, or postion level. JobStreet also has sites for India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. My biggest complaint is you must register your resume in order to apply for any listings found here. U.S. job seekers will notice that a lot of personal information is required, including date of birth, marital status, and gender. You also need an identity number, which I imagine is proof of your eligibility to work in Singapore.

Jobs listed with this agency. They also supervise Thai nationals working overseas as well as foreign nationals working in Thailand. Several good professional positions in their database.

Vietnam

VietnamWorks.com
...job listings in Vietnam. Job seekers can search jobs, post resumes, and set up job search agents. Registration is required in order to search the jobs, but that does not mean posting your resume unless you find jobs here that interest you and you want to use their one-button "apply now" feature. Website can be viewed in English or Tieng Viet. I suggest searching "all locations" no matter what job family you select.
