Ask HN: European Job Sites

24 pointsvai27 comments

I'm specifically looking for IT Jobs in Europe, what sites do people find the most useful?

Joining Special Interest Groups on LinkedIn and subscribing to a daily digest of activities is a very nice way for 'focussed' job-searching. Quite a few analytics jobs posted in the Business Intelligence group (which I'm a part of) were EU-based, at least over the last week or so. Give it a whirl.

http://www.twitterjobsearch.com/ seemed interesting as well.

There are also quite a number of jobsites in Belgium, but most of them are for one language, so dependent on witch part you live:

In dutch: http://www.vacature.com - http://www.vdab.be - http://monster.be - http://stepstone.be

In french: http://www.references.be - http://www.leforem.be

Hope they are usefull!

http://www.jobserve.com/

The following site is focused on freelancers but there are also full-time jobs listed.

http://www.gulp.de

Germany: www.monster.de http://www.jobscout24.de/ http://www.jobpilot.de/ http://www.stepstone.de/jobs/jobs.html

I read somewhere that at least 30% of all jobs ads in UK is fake ... I don't know if it's true or not ... How do you tell the difference between fake job ad and real thing?

I've experienced the same thing in New Zealand, and more recently in Prague .. 'Place holder' advertisements created by recruiters just to get you into their database.

You can try the EU job mobility site. http://ec.europa.eu/eures/home.jsp?lang=en

http://www.exposurejobs.com/ is quite good at breaking down jobs by language and country

Nice site. Thanks.

Switzerland: jobs.ch

If you can get a visa, the pay is great.

Isn't Switzerland like the dullest, most boring country in the world?

It must be because they're so neutral.

Niccolò Machiavelli, who was a sort of Karl Rove of his day, though with more integrity, said of the Swiss that they were "the most free and most armed people" of Europe. Get it? The connection between arms and freedom? http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese463.html

Our share of foreign nationals accounts for about 22%. That is almost 10 times the share of foreigners in the Czech Republic and about double the amount of the USA.

If a multicultural experience (four official languages) is boring, then you are right.

Sorry, but Switzerland is a little bit more than just bankers, watches, chocolate and cheese.

jobsite.co.uk used to be the best for graduates.

for nl: http://monsterboard.nl/

you'll find others version of monster for other countries:

http://www.monster.com

Seems to have a few IT jobs for UK, France etc.

Thanks! I should of mentioned I was aware of Monster, I am specifically looking for other less well known sites that people might use.

Job sites are more fragmented in europe meaning there usually is a site per country. You might want to be a bit mor precise from what country [countris] you are looking for a job.

Point taken. I'm mainly interested in the following:

Denmark Sweden Germany

It's a pity there's not a decent aggregator like Indeed.com for EU.

Google for deutsche arbeitsvermittlung, that should give you some leads.

For Sweden there's http://platsbanken.arbetsformedlingen.se/ which is the government's job listing site. Not sure if it's usable if you don't read Swedish, though.

For Denmark:

http://www.version2job.dk/jobs/default.asp

And http://www.it-jobbank.dk/ http://jobindex.dk/

gumtree.com: kind of a european craiglist

http://www.cwjobs.co.uk/ for UK.
