    What are the in vogue recruitment sites now?

    So, it's that time again! I've had pretty good success with agents finding me, but I know it's a constantly moving goalpost. I currently post my CV to the following sites:

    Monster
    Jobsite
    Jobserve
    Reed
    CW Jobs
    Indeed
    TotalJobs

    Technojobs - Added thanks to Erikur

    Monster and Indeed seem to be a waste of time, but the others turn up results. So, who am I missing? Where else is worth chucking it?

          The other trick is to update your profile regularly while you are looking. Agents have the ability to run reports on the jobsite CV database and new CV's gets flagged. I usually update mine every 10 days or when I'm looking. It helps keep your CV at the top of the pile.

            IIRC one of the boards is owned by S3.

            An agent once told me they can also add you to watch lists.

              The IT Jobboard is S3's site. Not listed in the above but perfectly fine once you understand why only certain agencies appear on it...
              merely at clientco for the entertainment

                I only ever check Jobserve.

                In others experience are there ever jobs on other sites that are *not also* on Jobserve??

                Nice tip about frequently updating CV..

                  That explains why I never had anything useful at all from The IT Jobboard. Didn't bother to look at it when I was searching for my last few contracts

                    I've seen jobs appear on Jobsite first .. then on JobServe the next day.
