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

Africa Jobsite.com

...lots of jobs here! This site also offers an opportunity for recruiters and potential employers to see your resume.

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

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 (November 2009) 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.

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.

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.
