Regional Resources

MyJobGroup.co.uk
...a fast-growing network of over 100 regional job boards covering England, Scotland, and Wales. To select a targeted board to search, click on "Our JobSites", select the region that interests you, and find the board that covers your target territory.
Totaljobs.com
...thousands of jobs in many fields mostly but not exclusively covering the British Isles. Search by job field, keyword, or location (regional, then UK, Europe, and "the rest of the world"). Site has excellent features, including a nice "CV Advice" section with samples. You can review general salary data (UK) for many jobs, and from here pull up relevant jobs in the database. Other nice areas on this site are the lists of Employers and Agencies which you can review by name (alphabetical) or industry sector. Free registration lets you create a mailing profile, registration of your CV is optional. Very nice!
You should also review the regional resources for Western Europe.

Ireland & Northern Ireland

Adminjobs.ie
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.
jobsearchni.com
...jobs in Northern Ireland with a few overlaps into Ireland and the UK. You can search and view the jobs and even apply online without registering. The free registration allows you to post a CV and set up email notices of new jobs that match your requirements.
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.
1-800 People.com
...an employment agency based in Dublin. "We specialize in the recruitment of multi-lingual and skilled jobseekers for positions in the growing Call Centre, Shared Services, Finance, Telecommunication and Information Technology sectors both in Ireland and Internationally." Select Jobs in Ireland or Jobs Overseas and then browse the listings under each job category, or opt for the keyword search.. Submitting your CV or resume to this agency is a simple process. Their monthly newsletters include good info on hiring and industry trends along with other topics of interest to international job seekers.
Scientific Jobs.ie
"Specialist Scientific Recruitment consultancy with a focus on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, environmental, engineering and scientific sectors in Ireland." This site is operated by the Life Science Recruitment Group, a specialist recruitment agency with a specific focus on the recruitment and selection of professionals for the pharmaceutical, medical, biotechnology, allied healthcare, clinical research, medical device and scientific sectors in Ireland and the UK. You can easily browse jobs in your field, search for jobs by category, title, and location, or merely look at everything in their database. Registration is not necessary for viewing or applying for jobs posted here, but registering your CV will put your information in front of their recruiters for comments as well as more one-on-one contact with them.
Who42
...an executive search consultancy based in Dublin, Ireland. They search on behalf of companies looking to fill C-level roles of head of function and have a strong focus on the media, technology and life sciences sectors. Many of these positions are based here in Ireland, but not all. Select the "Executive Search" flag on any page to connect with that practice group and view a listing of current searches.

General Resources

1Job
...a job-search engine for the UK and Ireland, so they are polling other sites to collect the listing information and sending you to the original site to read the full listing and submit your resume/CV. While I am not a big fan of these types of sites, I do like they way these guys have made it possible for you to target your search by region and job category. I particularly like the ability to select a country and then browse just a few counties or regions.
Agency Central
...browse or search these lists of recruitment agencies in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to find those that focus on your field or industry. Even better, each industry list includes lists of jobs sites, career events, media sources, and professional associations and institutions for that field or industry. The agency lists for each field or industry can be reviewed by skill set, county, or alphabetically by name.
agencySeeker
careersSeeker
These 2 sites partner together to create one extremely large yet efficient job search and recruiting resource for the UK. agencySeeker allows you to search for the recruiters who handle the searches for specific talent, like you. careersSeeker lists all the jobs currently advertised by all those recruiters. If you don't see jobs that match your skills, pop over to the agencySeeker side to find the recruiters with whom you want to connect. Then send them your CV. See, completely win-win. You do not need to register to search either site, but if you find your dream job your submitted CV will become your registration for this site. Heck, it's free and you can do it on the fly, and once you are registered you can create job alerts, etc. Great career articles. Big notice on the Application page: "To Apply for all UK positions ALL NON UK APPLICANTS MUST hold a UK work Permit or Visa. If YOU do not hold either of these then you cannot apply or be accepted for any positions in the UK." (their caps) agencySeeker/careerSeeker is based in West Yorkshire.
Alium
"The UK’s leading independent provider of high level interim executives." Qualified candidates can review a list of currently available assignments before submitting a CV for their database. Please read over their selection criteria before registering and do not submit a CV unless you meet these criteria.
AllTheTopBananas.com
UK-based job site using an indexer to cover other sites then adding in a few direct posts. You do not need to register nor even put in your email address unless you'd like to set up an automatic job agent. You'll find the business address on the Terms and Conditions page and the name of the managing director in the Blogs (Dave Martin, not Boris).
British Jobs
... search for jobs in Scotland, Britain, or Wales. Browse by location or by category, or use the search function that combines location, category, and contract type (permanent or temporary), plus any keywords you want to add.
Burns Carlton Plc
Offers executive search and selection for mid-level and senior positions in Finance and Banking; FMCG and Retail; Technology; Support Services; Manufacturing, Engineering and Construction; and Supply Chain and Transport. You can review current searches and positions advertised with this firm on their website. Burns Carlton has offices in London and Yorkshire.
Capita Resourcing
...professional resourcing firm (recruiting firm) based in the UK. Interested persons can review some current searches on their website. You can also review some good advice on CV and interviewing preparation.
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.
Check4Jobs.com
...a meta-search for jobs in the UK. Check4Jobs claims to be "the UK's Fastest Job Search" and I will say it is fast. Check4Jobs is operated by Check4 Ltd., "a market leading professional in Job Board Design, development, hosting and maintenance. Other services include website optimisation, internet marketing and pay per click campaign management."
CityJobs
...specializing in finance, IT, accountancy, media, and legal sector positions in the UK. Registration is not required to search the jobs (use as few criteria as possible for best results), but you are encouraged to do so in order to store up to 5 CVs here. Please note that the registration requires you enter your date of birth.
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. Please note that they are specific about the prior need for a UK work visa for non-citizens. If you are not currently eligible to work in the UK, do not apply here.
Daisy Thomas Recruitment Group
...UK-based recruiter covering many job areas. No current placement openings for you to review, but they are interested in hearing from highly motivated people looking to make a change in the next 6 months. Register your CV or call your local office for more information. Daisy Thomas has offices in Birmingham, Manchester, and London, and each covers a specific region.
DiversityLink.co.uk
...job site for those employed within the diversity / equality sector in the UK. Not big but it does list some very good jobs. The site is operated by Diversity Business Media located in Waltham Abbey. The address is not listed on the site, but their phone number is.
The Franchise Shop
"UK Franchises For Sale, Franchise Opportunities & Franchise Directory." You can search or browse through their lists of UK-based opportunites and read about the specific franchises in various industries/service offerings. You can request free information about any and all that interest you. You do not need to enter your personal information unless you are requesting info, but if you wish you can register to receive their free newsletter or become a member of their NetFrog networking forum. The Franchise Shop is based in Keith, Scotland, and their contact info can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting "Contact Us".
GetJob.co.uk
...nice looking site for the UK. You can easily search jobs or use the menu under "Research Industry" to pull up all the job listings in one specific field. Registering your CV here is not required for applications but will make things easier if you use this site often.
Graduate Jobs Network
...a UK job site indexer pulling together listings intended for graduates (i.e., entry-level jobseekers recently graduated from college). They include listing from employer websites as well as other job search sites. In some cases, the jobs are for more experienced professionals, but all in all this site really pulls in some good things. Operated by UK Jobs Network.
Human Online
...offers a nice list of (and links to) recruitment agencies of all kinds across the UK. 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 like Lorry Driver, but they are there. 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). Good articles on the UK job market, which isn't so good, and other job-related topics. At the bottom of the page you'll see links to International versions for Austria (pretty good), Sweden (quite good), and the US (don't bother).
JobisJob.co.uk
...job search indexer for the UK. You can search by your own choice of keywords and/or location or select a Top Job Search from the list at the bottom of the page. This site is operated by Grupo Intercom.
JobNut
...UK job board. You do not need to register until you want to apply for a job you found here. Okay board, but I really hate having to scroll past the Google ads to get to the reason why I'm here -- the job listings! They also have a US job board.
Jobrapido
...meta-indexer of job sites for the UK.
JobSafari United Kingdom
...a job search engine for this country. You can either select from the job categories and regions on the front page or execute a keyword search. When you select the job that interests you, you are taken to the originating organization's website to read the full announcement and apply. Operated by the folks at JobIndex in Denmark. This is part of the JobSafari International network, and you can access the the other sites from the bottom of the front page.
JobsinHubs.co.uk
...jobs in London and the rest of the UK for English speaking professionals. This is one of the many international sites operated by JobsinHubs.
Jobsite UK
...nice job database for the UK. Use the keyword search at the top or work through the industry channels. They have partners in several other countries as well as dedicated UK job databases (Cityjobs and the National Health Services). You'll find those links at the bottom of the front page.
Major Recruitment
...founded in Yorkshire but operating agencies across the UK, Major Recruitment has numerous opportunities for persons in this country. Because they have several divisions focusing on various occupational areas they offer a variety of openings from industrial to technical to hospitality and other areas.
MaturityWorks
...a UK job site for the "mature worker," defined as anyone over the age of 35. The job database is open to all users, and it is easy to forward your resume to any job found here. (They'll ask you if you'd like to add your resume to their database at this time, but you can opt out by merely checking the box.) Jobs can be easily searched by employer, location, or other search means.
+Jobs UK
...jobs for the UK and Ireland, including Scotland and Wales. You can search by keyword (title, skills, qualifications, location).
Part Time Jobs, UK Jobs Network
...nothing but part-time jobs for folks in the UK. At the time of review it was pretty small, so keyword searching was unnecessary. It is one of those sites that collects this listings from its partners, so when you find something interesting you will be sent to the original site.
Prospects Web
..."PROSPECTS web is the essential guide to graduate careers and postgraduate study in the UK and part of the PROSPECTS series, published by CSU, the Higher Education Careers Services Unit." They have current job listings divided into various groups, lists of employers and top recruiters, great career info, and postgrad info.
Redgoldfish.co.uk
...job search board for the UK. You can easily scan the job categories on the front page, then select the area that interests you. Nice feature -- with each category is the number of current listings in that area. The advanced search will let you search by location. You can search and look at jobs all you want but when it comes time to apply you will need to register.
Reed.co.uk, Reed Executive PLC
Jobs in a variety of fields including technical support and finance and accounting fields. You can register your skills at no cost. Check out their regional salary calculator for the UK.
Search Consultancy Ltd.

TimesOnline, The Times (London)
...an excellent resource for world headlines and business news. Click on the Classified link to reach the Appointments (jobs) and Executive Appointments sections.

totaljobs.com
..."serious about jobs." At the time of review, we found thousands of jobs, mainly for the United Kingdom. All visitors have access to good career resources. Register to post your CV or set up an email job alert.
UK Jobs Network
...UK job indexer pulling together listings from employers as well as other job sites into one very neat and easy-to-use package. You can search by title, location, etc., on the front page, but before you do that just take a look at the various subsections they have listed. This will substantially reduce your search load. There's an occasional off-listing (dental care under Ag & Forestry?) but for the most part you will find everything in its proper place. The date shown in the right column is the date the ad was indexed by this site, in most cases the same day as the ad was posted on its original site.
Workgateways
...a site offering information and the ability to register with select recruiting agencies for people planning to emigrate to the UK in order to find work. Please note: This company does not provide visa assistance. They are providing information and select resources to assist you in finding work. The site is free, but you will need to register in order to make contact with recruiting agencies who handle non-UK based job seekers. There is a free, searchable job database on this site (right side of the screen), but many of the listings require you to be a citizen or already in possession of a work visa. Workgateways is based in Australia and is operated by the same folks who run Jobaroo.

..IT jobs in the UK for recent graduates. There are some very nice listings here, including a demand for person with language skills other than English. You can search by job title, location, skill, and permanent vs. contract, and it is easy to "apply on the fly" for any jobs you see. However, if you see a lot here, you might consider registering your CV so it can be easily reviewed by potential employers. Please note: You will have to indicate your "EU eligibility" (your right to work in the EU). I see many good listings here.
ITJobsPost
...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.
