Ask HN: Best Sites for UK Job Search
Hi all,
There's a big push in a lot of smarter job matching sites coming out. Sites like Hired & White Truffle look great for finding that next great job without having to check a list of search results on a regular basis (like on say Monster). But so many of these sites have a very heavy US focus. Does anyone know any that is more UK based? I'd like to upload my CV & talk about a salary in pounds instead of using résumé & dollars :)
As a UK resident thinking of finding myself a new job, my options seem a little limited at the moment! You have your classic job search sites like Monster & LinkedIn but nothing a little smarter. So I'd love some suggestions. I wanted to shout out a question on Twitter but knowing my development manager follows me (and tends to see all my tweets), asking around for job search advice probably will cause a bit of an interesting question the next day!
Thanks for any input,
Lee Find the companies you want to work for and reach out to them directly. Even if the company doesn't have a current opening they may be willing to create a role for you or put you on-top of the pile for when a role does open up. It's more hard-work than submitting CVs but it gives you a much better chance of finding a job you love. While not a job-posting board, but rather a once-a-year event, I still can recommend Silicon Milk Roundabout: https://www.siliconmilkroundabout.com/startups You might browse through current London's startup needs. Would you consider a 1:1 UK based service? Mainly to investigate your options & find the right kind of jobs that are not via a recruiter. Or are you more after a list you can check daily? JobServe.com could be of use.
