there's a few options out there disclosure: I run a job news aggregator website called www.jobcrunch.com.au
there's white label job board websites you can use. for example 1. http://www.jobberbase.com/. real life example: http://socialmediajobs.com.au/ which is run by a contact of mine @servantofchaos. 2. http://www.jobamatic.com real life example: http://webstrategy.jobamatic.com/a/jbb/find-jobs run by @jowyang If you are going to run a job board, you should use a job engine website. its much easier to maintain and non-technical people can assist with the running of it as well. with jobberbase i believe you can apply directly online as well. with jobamatic, they also complement your listing with automatic listings from your local area (e.g. sydney), so this can give you depth and critical mass of jobs.
