Jobserve is where you go to find IT work. It appears Jobsite is where you go for the work to find you. I put my CV up Wednesday and the pimps have been SWARMING. The phone has been going literally all day. Yes, Virginia, there are recruiters who can be found in the office on a Friday afternoon! It's very heartening. Yep, Jobsite if you want your CV to get around.

The job market in general appears to be picking up since the election. Two interviews this week, one of which has led to a second interview, and three already scheduled for next week. This is really quite cheering.

Update: [livejournal.com profile] weatherpixie also mentions PlanetRecruit as a good place to put your CV.

Well alright then

So if they're still dicking me around the second week of June that's where I'll be sending my resume to ...

Good to hear.

I've been getting a lot of email from recruiters in the past week too, for some reason; the floodgates seem to have really opened.

How do you think the election affected the job market? Are employers relieved to see the Tories out of power, Blair humbled, or something else altogether?

I also seemed to get a lot of recruiters via planetrecruit.com.

Maybe these two are a cheaper deal for searching candidates rather than Jobserve?

*sigh* Whatever happened to Job.net ? I worked on that in 1996, and we had one of the best sites available, with content from VNUs magazines (eg "Computing") automatically loaded and a large recruiter base. Our emails were better targetted than Jobserve's; our filters were more powerful; our jobs more comprehensive.

But then manglement decided they didn't want the site to detract from print advertising (job adverts essentially paid for Computing) and they didn't invest as much as Jobserve in making it easy for the recruiters, and so it lost visbility.

Oh well. Fun to program, but not my problem :-)
