This is part of the JobSafari International network, and you can access the the other sites from the bottom of the front page.

Human Online

...offers a nice list of (and links to) recruitment agencies of all kinds across Austria. These are listed by region not specialty, so some of you might need to do a little searching to find an agency who handles your specific line of work. My suggestion -- stick to the regions rather than drilling down to the specific cities within since many cities do not have recruiters (but they are still offered in the list). I am basing my review on the UK version since I do not read German. If what I am saying is not what you are seeing, please let me know.

StepStone Austria

Jobs-Brussels.com

...a second site offering jobs in Belgium and with many international agencies and NGOs, most of whom operate in this area.

easy4more

...job postings and employer listings for the German State “North Rhine-Westphalia”.

ICjobs

This review of the site has been provided by a user since I do not read German. "This is a very easy to use website for a job search in Germany. You can search by city only, specific job only, or a combination of the two. If you search by specific job it will only return exact matches to what you search for but it will offer possible options if no match is found. This is what happened for my search. You can also search by jobs by company, either the company name or website if you know that. I liked this jobs board because it is easy to use. I lived and worked in Germany for six years in the late 1980's to early 1990's for German companies and am considering returning if I can find the right job."

... job listings for speakers of English. Be aware that some of the jobs may require additional language skills. These are just a few of the several sites from JobsinHub, a central site for English speaking job opportunities in Europe.

Opportuno

Because my knowledge of German is limited to musical terminology, I will quote from the email sent to me by the site's operators: "Opportuno is a German job search engine targeted at graduates and highly qualified personnel in business and science. It collects all job offers from a selected list of about 1,500 company websites in Germany. The list includes blue chips and many high-quality employers from different industry sectors. Opportuno also collects jobs from more than 200 universities and scientific institutes, creating one of the largest databases for science jobs in Germany. The index is refreshed daily. The service is free of charge." I did as much looking around as I could, and I recognized many employers as well known international companies. Many of them also list job titles in English as well as German, although I did not find any job descriptions in English. It looks like a very good site offering quality listings for the audience they are targeting.

This site hosts listings for administrative personnel in the Netherlands. It does not appear to require you to create an account in order to use the site, but I will assume that creating an account will give you some advantages, like saving searches and the like. (I did not test this.) The listings I looked at showed contact data for the hiring organization. While there is no public contact information on the site, the domain registration is public. If a knowledgeable user of this site finds problems that I am not seeing, please let me know.
