If you are looking there are several other good resources out there: http://giscareers.com/ with thousands of jobs world wide and http://www.gjc.org/ which is mostly US but a few thousand as well, are the first to come to mind.

My colleague has built something similar: http://www.digital-geography.com/jobs-digital-geoscientists

It is using the Indeed API, which might get blocked by your adblocker.

It wants my location, is throwing an alert error regarding an object file, and the companies page breaks. Also, grumble grumble information architecture in the "Hire a GISPro" page.

Neat idea. Part of the look-and-feel is that, if you're going to make a site shiny and new, it needs to meet the usability and polish of its visually similar competitors. A (perhaps accidental) benefit of the other site is that the average visitor isn't likely to compare it, too deeply, with other leading jobs sites.

for digital-geography.com we thought it would be a benefit to zoom to your current location so you might see new jobs around your area easier. The only earror I can see in the console is this "TypeError: sidebaroffset is undefined" which is not "problematic". Do you get the "cannot access JSONP file" error? This is caused by your firewall, not the site as some jobs we show on digital-geography.com are stored in a google spreadsheet.

But thank you for the valuable insight!

How fitting that it has a map!

Not to detract from how great a resource this would be for someone looking for a new GIS role, but it'd be nice if this site had a bit of a re-vamp, style/security wise.
Re:GIS Jobs by thejosh on Friday March 18, 2016 @07:34AM (#11311067)
Site loads really quick (from AU), which is actually a plus. I miss these older style sites without all the cruft. :(
Re:GIS Jobs by JosephRedfern on Friday March 18, 2016 @09:26AM (#11311603)
Certainly -- but I reckon you could improve the style without too much of an overhead.

Just changing the colors and the header image would go a long way.

How do you like this: http://www.digital-geography.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/... (might get blocked when using adblocker)
Re:GIS Jobs by thex10 on Friday March 18, 2016 @09:33AM (#11311641)
Agreed. Even some basic sorting/filtering on the jobs table would be great. Also, is it just me or do pages of 15 results seem quite short nowadays?
Re:GIS Jobs by thex10 on Friday March 18, 2016 @09:34AM (#11311651)
I wish there were more jobs. The 30 results here are a bit underwhelming...
Re:GIS Jobs by knz on Friday March 18, 2016 @10:26AM (#11311962)
Agreed. There are a lot of GIS jobs out there but unfortunately many of them are technician level rather than developer/engineer. Of the developer positions I do see posted, most of them are for ESRI/.NET. If it wasn't for FOSS4G I'd assume that there were few non ESRI GIS developers out there!

I love this site - it just screams everything I associate with GIS from the second you set eyes on it.

Probably not intentional, but that title made me think of Yosser Hughes from Boys From the Blackstuff:
