jobserve.co.uk

Advantages: Plenty of jobs there (although I doubt that many are not genuine adverts)
Disadvantages: Horrible website design, not user-friendly

There is no doubt that www.jobserve.co.uk has to be the biggest resource on the web for jobs, particularly IT jobs. When I checked this morning there was 21000 IT jobs available - quite a lot considering that the market for IT jobs isn't supposed to be too healthy at the moment. The search facility in Jobserve is quite functional but nothing special. You can refine your searches by the use of the keyword "AND" so a search for "C++ AND Manchester" ...
...There is no other way to refine your searches further which is quite a big ommission. An advanced search facility is quite a high priority feature when searching for jobs. You can register your details on Jobserve and once that is done you may upload your CV to the database and add your own search strings in the database. You can specify emails of jobs to be sent to you whereby the jobs are results based on your specified search strings. The user-interface ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of jobs, clear, simple
Disadvantages: Fake listings?, searching too simple, all agency

I've used jobserve.co.uk for years. It is always good to keep up with what is out there on the market. However, I have applied for jobs from this site and have had no success. I don't know of anyone who has ever got a job from jobserve, so I question the validity of some of the listings. For example, I applied for a job which I happenened to have seen listed more than 10 times over 2 months. I thought that perhaps the company were waiting for the ...
...this site. I think jobserve.co.uk as a company need to be careful to retain advertisers though, so doing this might turn away revenue. It's a catch 22 as to whether they want quality advertisements, or many advertisements. I'd have to recommend this site, but as with all job sites use with caution. If you're really looking for a job, I would suggest that your primary search should be directly with companies in your area that you would be interested ... Read review

Advantages: Plenty of jobs, updated very regularly
Disadvantages: Dated layout, some dubious content

Looking for a new job? As with most things these days you will find that turning to the internet can prove a useful exercise, although in this case there are certain things to be very wary of! Jobserve is one of many job search engines on the internet - though it was the original and is probably the biggest. These "job boards" can be considered the modern day equivalent of classified ads that appear in the local paper. The vast majority of jobs ...
...- media and construction for example. Simply enter your search criteria, keywords or phrases and location/s and you will be presented with, potentially, dozens of the latest vacancies posted by recruitment agencies and, though less commonly, employers themselves. To apply for a vacancy you like the look of, you can upload a stored CV (you need to register for this but it is free and also allows agencies to search the CV database for suitable job-hunters) ...

Advantages: Quick, Variety
Disadvantages: Search Criteria based on Posting time not relevance

Whilst I can only agree with the other reviewers in their opinion that Jobserve provides a huge variety of differing roles and that it is quick and efficient. I think that over the last six months they have changed the way in which their search works, whilst I used to be able to immediately view a job that I might be interested in according to my search criteria I now often have to wade through pages quite often unsuitable jobs to get what I want ...
...money out of agencies who want to have their ads on the first page, they have changed the criteria to give you the most recently posted jobs regardless of match. Yes I still use jobserve since no other sites seem to have the same variety of roles, however I am now looking elsewhere for good alternatives because I'd like to see relevant jobs straight away and not four or five pages down the line. ...

Advantages: lots of jobs
Disadvantages: they're not all real

Hmmmm. Jobserve. A mighty handy tool. I'm unemployed. BBut I sure as hell won't be using it. Well, technically I'm a student, but my course is coming to an end soon, and I have no job lined up. So I'm preparing to be unemployed. My life shouldn't change dramatically in all honesty. But I digress. I have never actually used jobserve from the huntee's end. I've used it at the other end when I was working as a recruitment consultant for a brief time ...
...board by hundreds of independant agencies. It's pretty easy for them to sign up, and they can post as many jobs as they like providing they pay their fees. On my first day at my job I was told that my function in the office was 'to rape and pillage'. In recruitment speak this apparently means use candidates who send their cv's in to find out where there might be openings for jobs which we could send our own candidates out to... Soooo I was supposed ... Read review

Advantages: loads of jobs
Disadvantages: could do with a little more detail

...Jobsite is another of the web based recruitment portals appearing on the Internet. These sites are basically an advertising board for recruitment agencies across the country and further. This type of site makes job hunting a lot easier and cheaper. Looking at a site such as this can save you time travelling around to all the local recruitment agencies and sending a postal copy of your CV to them. My conclusion is that these sorts of sites are very useful for job hunters. Jobsite is one of the better sites in this area second probably to jobserve for IT personnel but is probably the best for general vacancies. Jobsite.co.uk is a relatively fast web site except when searching when there is a delay before the results come up. This site is well presented and easy to navigate. All positions are advertised within the last week so... Read review
