Good jobsites to be on for IT?
Discussion
I'm in IT Security and I've found my roles through Indeed.co.uk & securityclearedjobs.com (obviously it will help if you've got clearances).
I use Linkedin but I tend to find that very hit and miss due to being inundated with connection requests from recruitment consultants with very little understanding of Infosec roles.

What kind of IT?
I was on JobSite, Monster, signed up to several recruitment firms, cityjobs and eFinancial to name a new.
Don't sign up to too many as you will get harassed by lots of people.
Last time I as on JobSite was circa 2009, I still get a phone call last least twice a week from recruiters.

Support mainly. I have a back ground in desktop support but also currently do server support.I was on JobSite, Monster, signed up to several recruitment firms, cityjobs and eFinancial to name a new.

Jobserve is worth a look.
Found my last 3 jobs on here.
Also Linked In seems to be used more and more for recruitment. Get your profile up to date and link in with some recruiters. Make sure your security and notification setting are set correctly though. I was linked in with some of my staff and suddenly started getting loads of notifications that so and so had added a skill, updated their profile etc. Week later they resigned.
I get tons of spam from recruiters on LinkedIn. Job Site is ok - pretty quiet for Cisco Network related stuff but nearly always get a response. JobServe has lots of stuff listed, Indeed bring some things up.
Also companies on LinkedIn advertise lots of jobs which is good because you don't have to deal with recruiters. For networks just having CCNP in your profile will almost guarantee 1 mail a week from recruiters asking if you'd be interested in a £13/hr desktop support role to a £60k senior engineer position. Location varies, even 250 miles away from your advertised location is deemed acceptable by some recruiters.
Always a case of.... came across your profile. Most don't even bother to look at your profile either.
I appreciate they have a job to do and that's the most efficient way of doing it - just saying you might get some opportunities from recruiter spam.
Once I'm done job hunting which could be months or years, ill be removing most info from my profile so I don't come up in searches.
I also try not to 'put my CV out there' by positing it on these job boards. I click apply and don't upload my CV. I know what I am and am not suitable for.
