Listings crossing Multiple Countries or Regions

Antal International
..."a network of over 50 fully-staffed offices in 24 countries, recruiting talent in a range of industry sectors & skill functions. Since inception in 1993 Antal has placed executives in over 75 countries and offers clients a choice of recruitment & staffing solutions from Retained Executive Search, Search & Selection to Contingent Recruitment in Permanent, Interim & Contract / Temporary staffing." Visitors can easily search their database of jobs and forward resumes/CVs to the listed consultant via email without registering. If you do not see something that matches your qualifications, you can register and submit a resume for future consideration. At the time of review we saw numerous postings from all around the world in a number of industries and job areas.
ART: Atlantic Research Technologies
..."Worldwide executive search firm for upper and middle management and staff: high-tech, industrial and service sectors." Please note that even though they are a world-wide recruitment firm, they will only accept American or Canadian style resumes in English. They do have information for you to follow in converting your resume to this style. A sample of the jobs they are working to fill is available.
Barclay Simpson
..."a leading company in corporate governance recruitment in the UK, having specialised in corporate governance since 1989." Based in London, this contingency recruiting firm specializes in jobs in Internal auditing, information security, IT auditing, information security, risk, compliance, financial crimes, legal, and public sector jobs. They offer international placements including the UK, US, Middle East, and Australiasia. You can search the site, view the listings and even read over their extensive career and industry information, but you will need to register for a free account to apply for any postings you see here. They have a very impressive list of openings in these fields, both permanent and interim and handle occasional retained searches on behalf of clients.
CareerJet
...an international employment search engine. You can search by keywords and location or browse the jobs by industry or location. They also offer subsets of the mega database by country (oooh, Malta!). Select the CareerJet Worldwide tab to view the list of countries and target your search a bit more effectively.
Employerjobs.com
...UK-based website with numerous job listings. They do have job listings from many other countries besides the UK, and you can find them quickly by merely doing a keyword search on the country of your choice. Jobseekers are not required by are strongly encouraged to create an account, upload a CV, and set up search alerts, all of which are free services. However, applications are made directly to the employers or agents posting jobs on this site, so storing your CV here is more for exposure than application ease. You also have the *option* of posting a public "Employ Me Now" advertisement which will appear on the front page of the site, but only registered employers have access to your CV.
Eurojobs.com
..."pan-European job site." Any visitor can search the jobs and review the listings, but you must register in order to apply for positions found listed here. I personally prefer the "Jobs by Country" feature, because as you pull up each country you will see how many jobs in that country are listed (if any) and in what fields.
ExecutiveSurf
...an executive search firm based in London, Milan, Prague and Warsaw. They have a portal where qualified candidates can register to be considered by our various researchers for positions all over Europe and sometimes beyond. They also publish a magazine, Executive Board, with various tips on career advancement. You can received this for free once you have registered with the site (name/email address).
Expat-job.com
....not really expat jobs but International jobs and Internships. There are some very good listings here and many generic "we need au pairs" and "hospitality workers" recruiters soliciting resumes. It's not the best site, so be sure to read things over very carefully before submitting a resume or CV in response to any announcements. Many of the listings I looked at included some form of contact information, but it was sketchy. Anyone can use the "Apply Online" ("Postulez en ligne!") feature to submit a CV or resume. If you see several postings that interest you, you can consider creating a free account and posting your resume/CV for employers to review once the CVbank is operational. Not everything here is in English, so if that is your only language you will need to be sure to indicate you only want to see announcements in English. This is one of 3 sites which operate in a sort of circle, but it is not necessary for you to visit the others (Stage-en-france.com and its English version Internship-in-France.com) as all the listings are duplicated here. Your registration on one will also be carried over to the others. The site is based in France.
Goinglobal.com
Going Global is designed to support international job seekers and professionals with a great array of original country-specific career information. This site's content and links provide users with a comprehensive tool kit for evaluating, selecting and moving into a successful career in a foreign country, including resume/CV writing advice, job sources, work permit and visa regulations, cultural advice on more than 40 countries. Based on Mary Anne Thompson's book The Global Resume and CV Guide, this is a treasure-trove of not only where to look but how to look for new opportunities in various countries. Mary Anne is an expert in this field, and the material in the database and in the book is original country content that is being hand gathered, monitored and updated by in-country professional researchers. Some of the content is provided directly on this and other partner sites for free. The majority of the content however is in a PDF format and available for purchase and download for a very reasonable fee. Most of the country guides are over 70 pages long and are filled with excellent articles and information resource lists. If you are serious about your international job search, then the guides are worth the investment.
iAgora.com
...clearinghouse of internships, jobs, study, and housing opportunities for recent college grads seeking opportuniites internationally. Most listings are in Europe. Membership is free but is not required to see the iWork job listings, but some are "anonymized" so only paying members can review them. You must register to apply for any listings found here, and if you decide you want to be a paying member, the fee is low.
iHipo.com
...based in Singapore, "iHipo stands for international High Potential network. iHipo is a social network that connects students and young professionals with international employers. It serves as a platform for peer-to-peer communication and recruiting." Very nice selection of international jobs and internships here. You can search the jobs without registering, but to apply you must register (free). iHipo targets college and university graduates, and you must provide the name of your school at the time of registration. It then asks you to please fill in a complete profile so employers can find you. Any false profiles will be removed as this site wants to maintain a high level of professionalism. US students seeking employment abroad must note that many of these jobs require proficiency in languages other than English plus the appropriate work visas.
International Herald Tribune, the global edition of the New York Times
...news and information from all over the world. Job Classifieds are hosting in conjunction with Monster.com
International Career Employment Center
... a weekly international employment newspaper for subscribers, but a few job listings are accessible non-subscribers online, including the “hot jobs” that employers are urgently seeking to fill. You can also register to get these via email.
International Jobs, Career Services for the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin
This guide includes articles on the realities of this search, lists of resources by location, places to look for long-term and short-term opportunities, and the rules for the search (no, they are not the same everywhere). Absolutely wonderful!
InternationalStudent.com
...offers a one-stop shop for any service a student wishing to study abroad could need, including job listings. I only noticed US jobs in the job search database (plus 9 listings from Ontario) but they did offer suggestions for searching for work in other countries. Nice info for students on loans, colleges that are willing to help fund foreign students, insurance needs, etc.
Monster.com
Right under the "search jobs" box you can select either US Locations or International Search. "International" will prompt you for a country (click on the plus sign next to each continent to expand the country list) combined with a city or postal code. I suggest you limit yourself to a country except for larger metropolitan areas such as London, Dubai, and such. If you prefer to target just one country, you can browse the full list of sites in the Monster Network, scrolling down the page to their International List. You can also go directly to the Monster Global Gateway
NES Global
..."the specialist company within the NES Group that provides engineering services and specialist staff support solutions to its worldwide client base across the Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Infrastructure markets. Our network of offices spans Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East and results in the Group being ideally placed to service client needs anywhere in the world." You can easily search the jobs (either international or UK) from the box on the front page, or select a sector/discipline from the left menu. Explore the links to their various international locations to view information on those regions and jobs. NES will assist with visas for many of the countries if you have the appropriate credentials and qualifications. You can use the "quick apply" feature to respond to any listing, but the best way for you to apply is to register your CV (free) which will also allow you to set up job alerts and respond quickly to new announcements.
OverseasJobs.com
......"features overseas jobs and international employment opportunities for professionals, expatriates and adventure seekers." Job seekers can review jobs, articles, and resources here without completing the free registration, but if you wish to register a resume you will need to be a member. Persons seeking work in countries where they are not citizens will be very interested in the Articles and Advice section, where you'll find very good advice on visas, etc. OverseasJobs.com is part of the AboutJobs.com network.
PlanetRecruit.com
...nice source for job listings from all around the world. You can search without registering, but registration does allow you to easily submit a resume in response to listings found here. You can opt to make your resume "private" so it cannot be reviewed by persons or agencies searching the database.
SAM Headhunting
...a global executive search company represented in 19 countries currently handling more than 350 searches worldwide. You can opt to view all searches currently being handled by their many divisions or select a target office and view only those searches. Candidates can submit their CV to the candidate database at each office and to subscribe to their monthly electronic newsletter in English. All office sites are available in English and the native language of the region in which they are located.
StepStone
StepStone is a network of sites with listings for jobs in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.

TipTopJob
...based in the UK, this international job board allows you to search across more than 30 industry sectors to find jobs that interest you. You do not need to register to review the jobs, but applying for a job through this site will register you as a user and place your resume / CV in their database. They do have a notice stating this at the bottom of the form, so be aware and be prepared should you find jobs here that interest you.
TopJobs
... this UK-based site is an international job site with lots of good listings. Under Job Search you can choose your geographic concentration (very specific for the UK, but scroll the list for full options)

Careers United is a service of CARE Canada, an operational member of the CARE International network. You can view the current job listings without registering, but you will need to register (free) in order to apply for the postings listed here. This site is available in English, French, and Spanish. In addition to the jobs, the career management advice is very good, especially Helpful Information on Working Abroad (english).
Devex: The Development Executive Group
...a company that provides recruiting services and business intelligence to the international development field. They also have an extensive job board loaded with opportunities in this field from all over the world. You can peruse almost all of the listings for free, but to apply you must register your CV on this site. There is an Individual Professional Membership (monthly fee) which is recommended for persons who want to get their network going, but you can also opt for a non-member CV posting (free).

Their target audience includes development professionals, donor agency staff, policy-makers, NGOs, researchers, students, information workers, journalists and development-focused web-service providers. One of their many services is a free job board where any develoment-related organization can post openings, not just for development officers but for any position. On the date of review, we saw openings for knowledge services team leaders, a research economist, an internship to work in sustainable procurement, and many other challenging and interesting positions. They also have a list of other sites listing development-related jobs and links to jobs in the major development agencies from around the world.
BrusselsJobs.com
...from the same folks who operate EuroBrussels.com, BrusselsJobs.com is for the international candidate living in Brussels but who might not speak the official languages of this country (Dutch and French).

Their current Positions List is a shining example of this expertise with listings from all over the world for people with expertise in numerous fields supporting services and research projects. This firm is based in the US but their employees are fluent in numerous languages.
Jobs-Brussels.com
...a second site offering jobs in Belgium and with many international agencies and NGOs, most of whom operate in this area. The latest listings are on the front page, but I suggest you use the Google search (make sure the button for jobs-brussels is selected) to search the site using keywords. The lists on the left side will connect you to the agencies, organizations, and associations noted.
