IEEE Job Site

IEEE was originally an acronym for Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, yet over the years the group has expanded its scope, so it’s job listings go far beyond the electrical engineer category.

IT Jobs at CW Jobs

Based on the UK, the IT Specialist sites lists about 10,000 IT jobs, focusing on contract jobs.

hightechNY

After Silicon Valley, New York is the tech center of the U.S., with tens of thousands of IT jobs.

iCrunchData

A job listing site combined with a social networking site for IT pros. Post your photo and resume, and make contact with your fellow tech job hunters.

Jobs for Programmers

Online for eight years, Jobs for Programmers has a companion site, Programming from Home

ComputerJobs

Founded in 1995, the site won a Weddle’s “User Choice” award in 2007. It’s owned by JobServe.com, which also owns ComputerWork.

PHP Jobs

PHP is one popular programming language, and, as seen by these listings, the job openings span the country and the globe.

USAJobs

This is the U.S. government’s job search portal, though there plenty of IT jobs. (It’s possible the U.S. government might be one of the best places to find a job in this downturn.)

oDesk

Freelance tech work; the site is popular among programmers and tech support staff from developing countries.

Information Technology Crossing

One of the few boards that requires you to pay, which it claims makes it a more exclusive service. Charging users allows the site to not charge employers, which ITC says draws more total IT job ads.

Vault: Technology Jobs

In addition to an IT job board, Vault offers scads of insider information on companies and educational programs. Motto: “Vault, don’t climb.”

JobsInLogistics

Many of these jobs are in fields like distribution or manufacturing, but the site has a dedicated “systems/ IT” section. (And of course companies that do logistic support are some of the biggest IT employers.)

Net Temps: Info Tech

Focuses on short term or contract work, which is a perennial source of many IT gigs (and probably still more in the years ahead).

RoadTechs: Computer and Telecom

Dedicated to short term (or “indefinite term”) work, RoadTechs touts itself “the interactive site for the traveling contractor.”

Slashdot Jobs

No doubt about it: plenty of uber-geeks visit this board, which lists every kind of IT job. The board is powered by JobThread

TheITJobBoard

Focused on tech jobs in UK and Europe, this board offers a wide array of both temp and full-time IT jobs.
