jobs.webdirections — a job site for web professionals
Just about ever since we started web directions, people have been asking us to help them find just the right developer, designer, or other web professional. Often we’ve posted a job description on our blog, or put people directly in touch with folks we might think fit the bill (provided they were at that time freelance).
But clearly there is a need for a focussed place where employers (and those looking for freelancers and contractors as well) can post jobs they have available that goes beyond such ad hoc arrangements.
So, today, we are launching jobs.webdirections — a job board for web industry jobs. And to kick it off, there’s already a number of jobs across a range of specialist areas, designers, developers, business analysts and more, from high profile companies like Atlassian, FreshView, August, and even the National Australia Bank.
Posting jobs is free, and while it may well be Australian focussed, our networks reach far beyond Australia, so feel free to post no matter where your job is located. We’ve decided on just a couple of restrictions, to help maintain the value of the site. Firstly, jobs posted must be associated with the web industry. That’s not just designers and developers by any means, but the day to day focus of the job, whether in design, development, IA, marketing, management or other, should be largely on the web. There are plenty of general job sites, and even IT sites where more general jobs can be posted, we want this to be a highly focussed site.
The second important restriction is that the name of the employing company must be included in the ad. This will help ensure all jobs are genuine, and not simply fishing expeditions for CVs, whether from a potential employer, or an agency.
If you aren’t really sure about either of these areas, just drop us a line, and we can clarify for specific case. We definitely want this site to be as useful as possible for all concerned.
We hope you find this a useful site, whether looking for full time, part time, or contract work, or are looking for someone to add to your team.
Fantastic work guys — well done!
Thanks Cheryl!

Great job!
How about RSS feeds for queries?
Hmm,
a good suggestion — it’s an open source project, so we will hopefully start contributing some new stuff to it, and this might be a good place to start
