Hey Jenny, For IT & Telco.. we had tried PlanetRecruit & WorkThing which are a part of Hotonline.. it gave us excellent results.. but when we signed up with them i.e. Hotonline.. we didn't get the same results though they say that it's one and same database.. I would suggest you take a day's trials for PlanetRecruit & Workthing.. then for Hotonline and compare the results :-) Rates that they offered us were: £2820 / year i.e. £235 / month Hope that helps! Mark

I found Hotonline to be pretty crappy, pushy sales people and lack luster results. If you're on a tight budget then maybe start with them and then graduate to jobsite or soemthing like that. I personally found Hotonline to be a pain to deal with and they have you on 3 month rolling contracts so you cant leave easily.

Additions to Dan's response.. you can also try Jobserve which is said to be a good job board for IT vacancies and it's a bit expensive.. haven't tried personally though!

We have recently had a CV database trial and found them to be sub-standard. I would suggest its worth investing a little more cash with Jobsite as they always produce excellent quality CV's. I also found the sales staff pushy and not very helpful. CV Library are also a good one to try.
