I wrote a long post about job boards for programmers that was on HN a while ago: http://www.maxmasnick.com/articles/jobs/ http://www.maxmasnick.com/articles/jo

  What a coincidence. I emailed you about 10 minutes ago regarding this exact post!

    I just saw your email! I wish I knew more about the UK job scene....I'm in the US so I don't have any personal experience there. Are the big job boards the same there? (I'd guess Github, StackOverflow, 37s, angellist are the big established boards everywhere, but not sure.)

      All of the above are relevant. Tech wise there are few that stick out aside from those which is why we are really pushing to be a bigger player as we reckon the UK tech job scene needs a lot of TLC.

        Agreed...do you have any idea how effective the big job boards are? In my experience (one post for a somewhat weird job), we didn't get any hits from the big boards. Is there any sort of public reporting/metrics for the effectiveness of these boards, or do people use them because every other company does so it seems necessary to compete for candidates?
