The IT industry like most industries has its fair share of abbreviations, jargon, keywords and general ’shop talk’. With that in mind it surprises me how many recruitment websites can’t handle searches for simple IT strings like ‘c#’, ‘c++’, ‘asp.net’, ‘.net’ etc. I think the IT industry in particular makes extensive use of the web for job searching so all recruitment sites should facilitate say a c# developer who wants to search for ‘c#’. Have a look at recruitment sites like elanIT.ie, CPL.ie, EmployIreland.com which were some of the sites I spotted which couldn’t handle most if not all of the above search strings.
