Looking for a Job: the Best Services with International Offers

  • 36
Potential expats usually start looking for work long before moving. Some research the market, others closely search for a remote location. There are many job platforms out there: international, local, highly specialized. Here are the most popular, recognized and proven job search services around the world!

Indeed

The portal proudly proclaims itself as #1 in the world (among its own kind, of course). Independent international ratings agree with that: in some of them Indeed is in the first place, in others it is in the top three.

According to the aggregator's internal statistics, more than 250 million unique visitors use it every month. They are free to post resumes (175 million), search for jobs (10 new ads are published every second), ratings and reviews of companies (320 million) and information about salaries (750 million data units).

The interface is intuitive and user-friendly. To start, select the country (there are about forty of them).

Indeed_1

In the new window you need to choose a specialty you are looking for and the city.

Indeed_2

Next you can specify your search: sort by date, salary, company’s name, etc. You can also write down your email to receive notifications about new offers.

Indeed_3

To get feedbacks you have to register and upload your CV.

Besides the main search, there are two other sections:

  • Search by salary. Info about average salaries in the country and its regions;
Indeed_4
  • Companies reviews. There you can find opinions about particular companies, job interview experiences and photos of the offices.

Glassdoor

One of the largest job sites. It contains vacancies from employers in dozens of countries from the US to New Zealand.

Glassdoor_1

The service focuses on transparency. The goal is not just to show a list of vacancies, but to provide the most complete information about the companies. In particular, the portal pages publish descriptions of employers, ratings of management staff, salary reports, interview patterns, photos of offices and other data. It is important that this information is provided by current or former employees.

In the search you can specify a particular company, desired position or keywords. It is possible to specify the working conditions (remote format, full-time, part-time, etc.), the starting date and the range of salary.

Glassdoor_2

In a separate section you can choose such parameters as the company's rating and industry, field of activity, specify your experience and even filter vacancies by selected companies.

Glassdoor_3

Each ad contains requirements for the applicant as well as information about the company and its rating.

Glassdoor_4

Reviews of companies are published in a special section called Company reviews. For example, we have chosen the position "Journalist" and did not specify the location. At the time of writing, according to these initial criteria, the service provided information about 103 companies in the world that are waiting for a specialist. Among them were the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Glassdoor_5

The site also regularly updates data on popular queries and vacancies, including those filtered by cities and salaries.
One of the most interesting options on the service is the salary calculator. This is a free assessment of an applicant's professional qualifications based on data on millions of real salaries.

Glassdoor_6

The experts of the portal offer to register, fill out a profile and get an objective assessment (from a financial point of view) of professional skills. According to analysts, it allows job applicants to know their worth and get fair pay.

Glassdoor_7

LinkedIn

LinkedIn_1

Perhaps, one of the most popular sites for networking. At the end of 2017 there were more than 500 million registered users from 200 countries and 150 business sectors.

LinkedIn is a social network. People here are not just looking for work, but also establish and maintain business contacts, communicate with colleagues and HR managers of various companies. It is concentrated around professional achievements, which are the place of work, search for an employee and / or partner, reports on professional conferences, recommendations of personnel and special literature.

You can publish CVs, short posts and full-length articles with illustrations and extensive formatting options on LinkedIn.

Search for positions on the site is simple and intuitive. There are several forms at the top: "Vacancies" (in the same tab there is a search for people and training), "Search for a position or company"," Select a country/region".

You can sort the received data by date or relevance. You can also display all offers for the last month, week, or day.
Employers on LinkedIn offer various options for collaboration from full-time work to volunteering. The specialist can also indicate the approximate level of their qualifications from "Trainee" to "Manager".

LinkedIn_2

Monster

The portal has collected at least 1 million vacancies, which are viewed by about 6 million applicants every month.

The site has two addresses. Monster.com covers only the American labor market. Monster.co.uk is created for job search all over the world.

Monster_1

The algorithm offers a simplified search by country, city, industry and company.

Monster_2

However, you can enter the position of interest yourself without or without linking to the location.

Monster_3

When you select an offer you like, a window pops up with a detailed description of your job responsibilities. Here you can subscribe to similar jobs and receive newsletters by mail.

Monster_4

It is also possible to hide your CV from your current employer on the website. The only serious negative that users note is the high level of spam.

All the basic functions like search, refinement options and uploading your CV are free of charge. However, the service also provides paid tools. For example, for comparing salaries or for thematic design of a cover letter.

Flex Jobs

Employers (more than 40,000) place vacancies here not only for beginning specialists, but also for managers.

Offers are divided into more than 50 areas: fashion and beauty, services, tourism, sales, design, science, journalism, medicine and much more. The most amazing (and relevant) distance work offers are highlighted in a special block. They include a cook, a home stylist, a school social worker and even a strategic partner.

FlexJobs_1

On the main page in the "Find jobs" section you can view new vacancies or sort them by location (if you still want to appear in the office from time to time). But this feature only works for offices in the United States.

FlexJobs_2

However, the main focus is on working from anywhere in the world.

FlexJobs_3
FlexJobs_4

The world's giants are among the employers.

FlexJobs_5

Europe Language Jobs

"The best job board for multilingual candidates and expats to find jobs abroad in Europe", the site's description says.
On the main page there is a selection of current vacancies in European countries.

ELJ_1

For example, if you choose an AirFrance in the Czech Republic, you will find a page with a job description and a requirement to speak two foreign languages - English and German.

ELJ_2

But the portal database is not limited to this. It contains job offers in more than 40 different languages, including English, Italian, Spanish and Russian. You can select the preferred one (or several at once) from the list.

ELJ_3

In the next tab you can select the country, the desired schedule and the level of experience.

ELJ_4

You can specify additional keywords to widen the search results.

ELJ_5

In addition to tags, you can enter the name of the company you are interested in. For example, the screenshot below shows what offers (for Russian and English-speaking candidates, according to the specified parameters) were at Apple at the time of writing.

ELJ_6

To send a CV you need to register directly on the site (or log in via Google, LinkedIn or Facebook).

International Jobs

This aggregator is interesting both in itself and because it is a link in a large network AboutJobs.com. In addition to International Jobs, it includes:

  • SummerJobs.com (summer internships with the possibility of further employment)
  • SeasonalJobs.com (seasonal and temporary work)
  • InternJobs.com (internships and positions for beginning professionals, often without experience)
  • OverseasJobs.com (employment for migrants)
  • ResortJobs.com (work at ski resorts, cruise liners, national parks, hotels and resorts around the world)

But International Jobs has the broadest database of work positions.

A search field opens with the ability to enter the desired position and / or professional skills and location. Below there is an updated selection with popular requests from job seekers.

InternationalJobs_1

When you go to the expanded search page, the list of countries that have job offers opens up.

InternationalJobs_2

The list of offers is published with an indication of the site where the job ad was taken from.

InternationalJobs_3

The user can go to the website where the offer was originally placed (Adzuna, Indeed, WhatJobs, or another) via a link. These can be either specialized sites for job search or companies that are looking for an employee directly.

InternationalJobs_4

For those who need structured information and advice and may have just started looking for a job abroad, the portal has a section with useful articles. For example, "6 ways to start an international career", "How to write an effective cover letter", "Best jobs for travelers".
