The best websites for Scotland jobs

If you fancy living north of the border, you are probably thinking of how to approach your job hunting. Asking at the Job Centre? Ordering the local newspapers? Scouring the internet? Leaving it to chance?

Well, let us help you out by saving some time – we’ve found what we regard the best websites on the internet for finding the latest Scotland jobs.

• s1jobs.com – This is the most popular Scottish recruitment website, operated by the Glasgow Herald and Evening Times group, so it’s always kept bang up to date – and it’s very easy to navigate. At the time of writing, the site has more than 4,200 live vacancies spanning a wide range of sectors and skills. Use the drop down menu on the homepage to search all of Scotland, or by area, or pick a ‘core skill’ from the comprehensive list. And with categories from biotechnology to hairdressing, legal to retail, there should be something for everyone here. What makes this website particularly worthwhile is the facility to register your details, which means you can receive updates on the latest Scotland jobs, plus upload a profile and CV to help promote yourself to recruiters who regularly search here, too.
• Scotcareers.co.uk – Another great website, run by the company which owns The Daily Record, one of Scotland’s popular tabloid newspapers. It currently has more than 2,600 jobs listed on the site and offers 36 industry sectors to choose from, along with a handy keyword search feature where you can also choose the number of miles from any town or city, or the whole country. This website also allows users to register and upload their CV, plus it offers a range of careers advice articles including tips on job hunting.
