Ask HN: Best Sites for UK Job Search
4 comments
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.

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.
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.

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
