Regional Resources

Jomea
I am only listing this site because of its unique coverage. I cannot find any information as to who operates this site, so I leave it to you to decide if you want to use it and register for job alerts. Jomea is a job indexer like Indeed, but it covers the Middle East and Africa. You must fill in both the What and Where fields to search (leaving one blank will return no results), and I was finding many listings in many countries. When you get your search results, you will be offered the opportunity to register to have alerts sent to you. It is up to you if you want to give them your email address to make this happen.

Africa

These resources are not specific to one country on this continent.
Africa Jobsite.com
...lots of jobs here! This site also offers an opportunity for recruiters and potential employers to see your resume.
African Talent
...with offices in Cyprus and Cape Town, South Africa, African Talent posts jobs in countries on this continent and also hosts CVs/resumes for job seekers resident here. Not all countries, occupations, nor industries have listings at any given time. Registration is not necessary to review the job listings but is needed in order to apply for any jobs listed here.
Careernation
...job listings for the African continent. Search by country, job category, and/or keyword. While application info is shown in each announcement, if you want to use their "apply online" feature then you must register and post your resume (free). Recent job postings are on the front page. Nice site with good listings.
FindaJobinAfrica.com
...nice job service covering the African continent. Search by country, industry, and/or keyword, or look over the recent postings on the front page.
Job Serve Africa
...jobs in many countries on the African continent. At the time of review, South Africa had the most listings, but many other countries were represented, including Cameroon, Botswana, Ethiopa, and Ghana. To target the countries with listings, I suggest you click on the graphic of Africa under the "Search By Location" header on the front page as it will only show you the countries with listings. If you are more interested in searching by job sector, the categories at the bottom of the front page will be a faster entry. You can look around, check the country guides, and even view the full job listings without completing a free registration. My only complaints -- no contact information, and you must register (include posting a resume/CV) in order to use their "apply now" feature. (Employer's contact information is included for each listing.) Job Serve Africa's domain registration information shows that the company is actually in Great Britain. Very good jobs for a region not well represented, but please be sure they offer what you want before you register your resume/CV here.
Search Beat! Africa Job and Career Centre
...this site bills itself as the One-Stop Web Directory and covers an eclectic array of topics from accounting to Y2K. This career center is an alphabetical listing of business and job/career web pages covering much of the continent.

Israel

AACI Israel Jobnet
...a product of the Association of Americans & Canadians in Israel, this is a searchable database for employment leads in Israel. Click the "search" button to access the database, then search by keywords or company, narrow your choice to all leads or only the most recent, and what part of the country you are targeting.
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.

Middle East / Arabian and Persian Gulf Regions

CareerIntelligence.com
...source of director jobs, VP jobs, and CEO jobs in the Middle East plus some other countries / regions of the world. They say they pre-screen the postings so you only see legitimate and appropriate listings. You can do a minor amount of searching and limited viewing without registering, but if you are at this level of experience and interested in the geographic areas they present, you may want to register. Scroll to the bottom of the front page to see a menu of what is currently in the database by Location, Industry, Function, and Career Level. They offer a free membership along with 2 levels of paid membership. CareerIntelligence.com is privately owned by The Methuselah Group Ltd., based in Hong Kong.
Careermidway.com New!
"A real midway among employers and job seekers to post and find their job in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Middle East. Employment and career opportunities of all categories in Government and Private Sector." According to their About Us, this is essentially a labor of love by a group of volunteers (students and others) who work to pull together job listings in these countries from a variety of resources. There is no contact information and while you can submit job applications online to employers who will accept them (they note those that do not), there is no real indication of where your application is going. You will have to judge this resource according to your own comfort levels. It is free and covers a unique niche in the online job market. In English.
Danger Zone Jobs.com
..."defense contractors & private military". If you are truly up for the adventure, this is a good place to look. There is a fee for access to the member area, but this includes job listings, company profiles, and the like. There is a good amount of free info you can review before pulling out the credit card, including many articles, so you can make a very informed decision about joining.
Dubai Employment Tips
...a website created by a couple of residents of Dubai haring tips for finding employment in this region of the UAE (one of them is a recruiter). Information on the people behind this site and their phone number is posted under the About Us tab. If you wish to sign up for email tips you'll need to enter a name and email address; otherwise feel free to read the articles and review the extensive lists of recruiters and companies who work in this region. They have initiated a new service promoting your resume and allowing you access to much more targeted information and resources designed to help you find a job in Dubai. The service is available for a nominal fee, and right now (March 2010) it is half-price.
GulfJobSites
...an independent directory and search engine covering job and employment related websites from the Arabian Gulf / Persian Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq and Iran. In addition to all these links, it hosts its own job board. Job seekers are strongly urged to read the article on How to Use This Site before jumping in with both feet.
Habsons
...a leading HR professional management organization in India offering placement and recruiting services around the world through a network of associates. Many of the listings they currently host are for placements in Saudi Arabia and other middle eastern locations as well as India.
NaukriGulf.com
...from the creators of Naukri.com, the job site for India, comes a nice looking site for the Middle East. Registration is not required to search and review listings here, but it will make the application process much easier. They cover more countries than they show on the front page, but not all countries in their "browse" list have jobs at all times. Still, it is well populated and a very easy-to-use site.

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.
CompuJobs
..an online IT Recruitment Centre that services the information technology employment sector in South Africa plus a few postings in other locations. Visitors can search the database, review listings, and also check the recruiters/employers who post here, but you must register (free) in order to apply for the jobs you find here.
GigaJob South Africa
...search these sites by keywords and locations or browse by Profession, Job Category, and Location. All users can look at the announcements, but only registered users will be able to forward resumes/CVs in response to listing they see. This is one part of a large job portal covering numerous countries. Registration is free, you only need to do it once to cover the full portal, and it does not require you upload your resume/CV to the site. You can easily switch between countries (scroll to the bottom of the front page).
Jobs.co.za
...a South African Job Portal providing jobs and job seeker advice. 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. Please read their Privacy Policy for a full explanation of how employers and recruiters access your information, but I quote that policy: "JobNavigator (jobs.co.za) endeavors to qualify recruitment agencies making use of our databases as bona fida recruitment agencies. 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)
Premier Personnel
...founded in 1982. Since its inception it has focussed on the placement of professionals in middle, senior and executive positions in the fields of Financial Services, Management Consulting and Information Technology. Now part of the Adcorp Group.
