Best website for placing job adverts

[Greenie]

Historically we have placed adverts in the job section of the local paper. The position are generally for electrican type roles based in the local area (Hampshire). Over the past years not only have the cost for adverts in the local paper increased but the response has also fallen making it no longer viable to continue using them.

We have used job websites to do some advertising as well. We used Fish 4 jobs which hasn't been too bad and monster.co.uk which was very poor.

What sites do you jobseekers tend to use? What are your favourites?

Slightly different market but I tend to look at LinkedIn, Monster, Jobsite and TotalJobs

ETA, I don't know if it's the amount of jobs or the target audience, but my local paper tends to have 1, maybe 2 pages of local jobs. Everyone's stopped looking at them so the vicious circle of people not advertising them there kicks in. I don't know which came first though

I agree about the local papers. To make it worse the paper's response to less adverts is to put their prices up!
