I’ve recently been made aware of a great new job-board IndustryJobs.co.uk that both helps job-seekers, to find their next position, and particulary recruiters, to advertise their vacancies whether permanent roles or short-term contracts.
There is a free introductory offer on at the moment for all posts of new jobs, which make it a great solution for small and large businesses alike. As well as jobs advertised on the site itself, there is also a dynamic feed showing jobs from other leading UK job boards as well. The key advantage this site might have for your roles is the great domain name from a search engine optimisation perspective – it will be interesting to see where it ends up in Google and Yahoo’s results lists
IndustryJobs is based on the free open-source JobberBase solution and 
looks a great implementation.
I love your feedback – thanks!
