    Yep that's about it.

    You should also make sure your LinkedIn profile is in good shape too.

      A couple more

      Indeed
      CV Library

      Its worth hitting as many as possible as not all agents use every site, and I've found some of them pick my CV up from random ones that I'd forgotten about.

        Thank you.

        Is there still a facility to add your CV into your linked in profile?

          Linkedin,
          This is almost the exclusive tool that in house recruiters use.
          With IR35 we will see lots more of the HR dept recruiting contractors.
          In theory they don't need agencies any more.
          Heres the thing, these in house recruiters/hr dept are bonused in a particular way.
          They are told the bonus at the start of the year and their target.
          If they use a job board they lose a few quid on their bonus each time they do it.
          If they use an agency they lose lots of their bonus. Each time.
          There are other things too but I have lot on today so cannot write in much more detail about this bonusing.
          They generally use standard linkedin accounts as HR are too tight to pay for premium or recruiter.
          They are also trained to be very non-negotiable in most cases. Expect the rate to be the rate. Expect blanket inisde IR35 in many cases too.

            HR is recruiting a Human Resource - if anyone expects otherwise they are in for a mighty surprise.

              Some of the sites listed are the same now.

                Interesting. So does that mean you have set your availability status to share with all linkedin members and therefore adorn your photo with that awful desperate looking #opentowork banner?

                    Don't forget you need to deal with pimps who posting their endless "Ohhh, everyone has to be nice to each other, why I bought a homeless person a coffee and lo and behold he magically happened to have a fantastc skillset but was just a tad unlucky, so I gave a mate his details and he got a job, wow, aren't I amazing!"
