Judging by the response to our post last week on TheLadders, high-end job sites are blossoming around the globe. A few more for your consideration:
Dallas-based RiseSmart, which just recently launched, bills itself as a human-powered job search service that prescreens online search results for time-starved job seekers. First, RiseSmart's search engine scours myriad job sites for opportunities that match the job seeker's criteria. Next, a dedicated, human "RiseSmart Concierge" sorts through the results to arrive at a list strongly matched to the candidate's profile. New results are gathered and presented to members weekly; the cost is USD 54.95 per month.
In Australia, meanwhile, Six Figures is gearing up to launch this month with exclusive access to six figure opportunities and more relevant information up front, including salary and benefits. Six Figures will also enable members to present and sell themselves beyond the usual resume, including the ability to upload videos, links to personal blogs and community site profiles. Membership for job seekers will be free.
Finally, while we're at it, we'd be remiss not to mention two contenders that have been in the business since the 1990s: 6FigureJobs, which offers thousands of prescreened postings for jobs paying USD 100K and more, with free membership for job seekers; and Netshare, which works with a network of more than 7,500 recruiters and corporate HR departments and charges membership fees of USD 40 monthly.

There is also NotchUp.com in which companies will pay you to interview. You set the price, if they like your resume they will pay your price to have an interview.
I would like to know about sites like this that are not US centric. Where do those looking for exec level positions outside of the US or UK go to network and brand themselves? I see the Australia resource above..
Anyone with other resources I would love to hear from you - megan@careerbychoice.com.
Many thanks!

Are there sites who offer jobs for foreigners? Monsterboard for example is an international site, but doesn't necessarily focus on people who would like to work abroad. Or sites where companies would like to exchange knowledge, and offers temporary positions.
Many thanks,

I want to know where is the trend. We are talking companies that are 10 or 8 years old. The Ladders is not new at all, has at LEAST 5 or 6 years operating in the US if not more. Seems someone is misinforming you...
