Default Jobserve

Is it just me who can't access this website anymore or are others having issues?

Tried via my Sky Broadband and my Orange net access and both time out.....

This is currently showing on their site:



Site Outage


JobServe regrets that all JobServe sites are affected by a major outage on the fiber optic network in the UK where JobServe's infrastructure is hosted.


Engineers are currently on the job repairing the break.


The site will be restored as soon as possible and we regret the inconvenience caused to our customers and candidates.

Looking into the reasons for the outage, apparently some contractors, working on the olympics in Stratford, managed to cut through fibre optic cables 34 feet below the surface!

People working on the olympics cut a cable 34m down.

Who reckons the current topic for discussion at JS is around carrier resilience?

When I did IT recruitment (I know - hateful) in the late 90s, Jobserve was our lifeblood. Smallish company (about 20 staff) but we spent £45k a year on Jobserve ads. It was very useful back then. Not sure about now.

Just use Job search UK - IT, graduate, teaching, government, engineering, nursing and other jobs at ClickAJob

This searches ALL the job sites, much easier.
