To usher in the new year, we're very pleased to announce the new Read/WriteWeb Job Board - brought to you in association with JobThread. While there are a few prominent and excellent job boards run by other tech blogs, there are a couple of differentiating factors with ours:
1) It's less expensive! $100 for a month, half the price of some of the others.
2) We think that a lot of super-smart people hang out on Read/WriteWeb, for the in-depth articles and conversations. And employers want to attract the best brains, right? :-)
But actually we love the other tech blogs with job boards too and one day, who knows, we might all join together. We're all part of the same extended community after all.
For job-hunters, The Read/WriteWeb Job Board provides job opportunities for Web Technology and New Media professionals, at startups and tech firms all over the world.
For employers: Read/WriteWeb is a premium tech weblog which reaches hundreds of thousands of developers, designers, executives and thought leaders in the Web and Media industry. So if you're looking for the smartest and most innovative staff - people who are one step ahead of the rest - then you'll find those people in the Read/WriteWeb community!

What no jobs for NZ yet ;)
Jokes aside... this could be a challenger for the niche job board at http://www.forthemasses.net/jobs

I'm tempted to say, job boards are played out--the market is flooded. But then I remember that I'm in the process of creating one for one of my sites and I tell myself to stop saying silly stuff like that. ;)
RW/W is probably a good fit for a job board. I think you might tend to have a more international audience than TC, SVN, or Om (though that's a total guess). While there is undoubtedly some overlap, I think employers would be wise to advertise to your readers. Good luck, Richard. :)

I like the idea of job boards to monetize a site. For some reason the look of it doesn't bother me as much as adsense.

Errr, aren't job boards associated with blogs getting a little tired?
*Everyone* apparents to be doing them these days.

Smart idea though.

As non-US countries will probably not have that many jobs, it would make sense if you could view all the jobs in a chosen country - rather than be forced to enter a search term as well.
