Germany

Breitbach & Partner

...brief description of opportunities for Germany, in German.

easy4more

...job postings and employer listings for the German State “North Rhine-Westphalia”. I am relying a bit on the original description sent to me by the website manager because my knowledge of German is limited to music terms, but even I was able to find listings of local companies as well as numerous job listings.

ICjobs

I am having to rely on this organization for a description as I do not read German. "In contrast to the well-known online recruitment sites we search directly on company websites. Currently we crawl over 1,320,000 companies and list more than 200,000 jobs. Companies neither have to pay nor have to register their job offers as we detect every vacancy listed on company websites." If someone wants to really check it out and let me know what they think, I'd appreciate it.

Jobs in Hamburg

Jobs in Munich

... job listings for speakers of English. Be aware that some of the jobs may require additional language skills. These are just a few of the several sites from JobsinHub, a central site for English speaking job opportunities in Europe.

Opportuno

Because my knowledge of German is limited to musical terminology, I will quote from the email sent to me by the site's operators: "Opportuno is a German job search engine targeted at graduates and highly qualified personnel in business and science. It collects all job offers from a selected list of about 1,500 company websites in Germany. The list includes blue chips and many high-quality employers from different industry sectors. Opportuno also collects jobs from more than 200 universities and scientific institutes, creating one of the largest databases for science jobs in Germany. The index is refreshed daily. The service is free of charge." I did as much looking around as I could, and I recognized many employers as well known international companies. Many of them also list job titles in English as well as German, although I did not find any job descriptions in English. It looks like a very good site offering quality listings for the audience they are targeting.

StepStone Germany

...one of the many national job sites offered by StepStone ASA, a pioneer of online recruiting based in Norway. In German

Ireland & Northern Ireland

Adminjobs.ie

Office and administrative jobs in Ireland. "Our aim is to provide the best admin jobs, office jobs, HR jobs and temp jobs in Dublin, Cork, Galway and across Ireland from all employers and recruitment agencies in Ireland." It is a very new board, but already filled with lots of good stuff. Registration (free) is not required to search the board nor look at the jobs, but it might be helpful for applications if you see lots of things you like.

EirJobs.com

...no jobs, but lots of information on how to go about looking for a job in Ireland.

EmployIreland.com

...jobs in Ireland. Free registration is required to view full job announcements, including registration of your CV. You can view short entries for all listings without registering. I like the categories on the left side with an indication of how many listings are under each.

Hoteljobs.ie

....hospitality, hotel, and catering jobs in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK.

IrishJobs

Very nice site handling the Irish job market. Search jobs by keyword or look at the various databases (agencies, companies, engineering, accounting, graduates.) Submit a resume to their IT or Non-IT CV databases. They also have an IT Worldwide section for employers/job seekers looking outside of Ireland.

JobRapido

...search through all job vacancies posted on all websites in Ireland. You must use keywords. No browse feature here. I do like seeing the dates showing when the jobs were indexed.

Jobs.ie

...jobs in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The site is very easy to navigate by category or location, and if you want you can execute a search that excludes all the Recruitment Agencies. Registration is not required to view listings nor apply for positions found here. The group that runs this site runs others (legaljobs.ie, teachingjobs.ie), but the listings on those sites can be easily accessed under the appropriate categories from this main location.

JobSearch.ie

...jobs in all areas of Ireland in all sectors. The site is very easy to use, and along with the listings includes terrific advice on CV preparation, interviewing, employment rights, and much more.

NIjobs.com

...you can easily search jobs on this site dedicated to Northern Ireland. Register to post your resume or receive job leads via E-mail.

Nixers.com

..full and part-time jobs in Ireland, plus some abroad. A nixer is Irish slang for a little job (traditionally, one done on the sly!), but there are full time and permanent positions here too, and I don't see anything "under the table" (as we say in the US). You can scan the many categories (I personally like the "Irish Pub Abroad" and "Crazy / Random Jobs" areas), or search by keyword. According to their FAQ, all jobs listed expire after 14 days, unless an employer has confirmed that the openings still exist. If you are really interested in the hospitality industry, they offer special rates to bars, pubs, and hotels to attract a lot of listings. If you choose a search from the left menu (company, category, location, industry) you will see how many listings are available in each area. Nice. Register your CV for free.

1-800 People.com

...an employment agency based in Dublin. "We specialize in the recruitment of multi-lingual and skilled jobseekers for positions in the growing Call Centre, Shared Services, Finance, Telecommunication and Information Technology sectors both in Ireland and Internationally."

Their monthly newsletters include good info on hiring and industry trends along with other topics of interest to international job seekers.

Professionals.ie

...job site for IT professionals in Ireland. When you search, you must include at least one keyword describing your skills or qualifications, but I found several very good listings here. Jobs are only posted for 10 days, so this site is very current. (That information is not on the site but it was included in the email I received from the site developers.) You do not need to register to search and apply for jobs listed here.

RealJobs.ie

..."where every job is a real job." They do not permit recruiters to post here, so all jobs lead you directly to the employer. Nice feature -- you can see lists of all job categories, employers, and locations on the front page along with the number of listings in each category. Registration is not required to search the database and many listings include the employer's contact information, but some listings are "confidential" which means the only way you will be able to apply for these positions is by registering and using their "apply now" feature. Please note that if you opt to post your resume here it will not be deleted unless you either delete it yourself or ask them to delete it for you.

Scientific Jobs.ie

"Specialist Scientific Recruitment consultancy with a focus on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, environmental, engineering and scientific sectors in Ireland." This site is operated by the Life Science Recruitment Group, a specialist recruitment agency with a specific focus on the recruitment and selection of professionals for the pharmaceutical, medical, biotechnology, allied healthcare, clinical research, medical device and scientific sectors in Ireland and the UK. You can easily browse jobs in your field, search for jobs by category, title, and location, or merely look at everything in their database. Registration is not necessary for viewing or applying for jobs posted here, but registering your CV will put your information in front of their recruiters for comments as well as more one-on-one contact with them.

Who42

...an executive search consultancy based in Dublin, Ireland. They search on behalf of companies looking to fill C-level roles of head of function and have a strong focus on the media, technology and life sciences sectors.

1Job

...a job-search engine for the UK and Ireland, so they are polling other sites to collect the listing information and sending you to the original site to read the full listing and submit your resume/CV.

Careers-Jobs.eu

...nice looking site with employment listings for the UK. You can easily browse by the most recent listings, sector (industry), job role (title), or location, and while browsing you can see how many listings are under each category. Any user can review the full job announcements without registering, but you will need to register and create an account in order to apply for jobs located here (free, of course). One thing I liked here -- in this day of scamming the job seekers, this site has placed a warning at the bottom of all online listings reminding you that no employer should ever request your bank account information, and they provide an email address for you to alert them if you have any problems. Nice guys! They also have some very good career advice, so check out those articles.

"Our executive job search covers all sectors including Local Government, Health, Central Government, Social Housing, Charities, Higher and Further Education & Emergency Services.

ClickAJob

...meta-search engine that covers over 70 boards at one time. Again, I'm not necessarily a fan of these things, but they do have a place in our world. One little amusing area is the Armed Forces jobs. Either the Marines (no specific country) are seriously recruiting out there or every time the word "Marine" is used (like "Marine Industry", "Marine Broker", and "Marine Environment"). Like I said, these sites are not my favorites, but I do think they find some pretty cool stuff (hey, the Royal New Zealand Navy is recruiting for experienced officers....)

UK Facilities Jobs

... "a jobsite launched to support the Facilities Management, Building Maintenance & Property Management industry’s focusing on mid to senior appointments." It is a nice-looking site with very good job listings in these field, not all of which are in the UK. The rub is you must register in order to view any job details, but you can see the job titles, employer or recruiter, location, and even date of posting without registering. No details on the site as to who is running this board, but it is registered to an individual in London. All job seeker services are free of charge.

ITJobsPost

...a new job board for IT professionals focused in the UK. Some good jobs here, even at this early stage, and each has a closing date. Registration is not required unless you want them to notify you when new listings in your job category are posted. I don't usually post "new" sites like this, but it has a good number of listings and seems to be working well.

JobisJob.co.uk

...job search indexer for the UK. You can search by your own choice of keywords and/or location or select a Top Job Search from the list at the bottom of the page. This site is operated by Grupo Intercom.
