    Just wondering which Job site people think is best for recruiting software developers ? Have tried Jobs.ie and response was poor even though it's the biggest (and priciest) site.

    I suspect that because developers are in demand that candidates just let agencies do the work for them rather than doing some hunting themselves.

    This can be the case, at least to some extent. Most agencies maintain mailing lists of developers and can let them know when jobs that are suitable to their field become available.

    That said developers can also identify the companies they wish to work with and approach directly. Though overall I think would be fair to say that agencies have a good handle on the IT market, especially at a mid to senior level.

    Regarding advertising- I find Irishjobs.ie best for IT positions, Monster & Jobs.ie don't perform as well in my experience. But I wouldn't expect a big response from any of them, developers are in such demand now that we are importing them from Spain, Portugal, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and sometimes Brazil.

    As a software developer, I've used Agencies. While some are good and some not so good, I eventually got a job off my own bat.

    I use indeed.com. I believe it's a type of "google" for tech job sites. If you are looking to post up a job, here's some advice. Just put it up once. Any more than that, indeed.com will show each and every one. I ignore spam jobs like that, regardless.

    EDIT : What job is it? I have a friend who is looking for a high end development job. He is an exception low level developer.
