Good list, most of these are great. I’ve always liked Authentic Jobs. It’s got a great feel to it.
I’m working on a rebuild of a similar design job site primarily aimed at UK creatives at http://www.companymeetcreative.com which hopefully can offer another avenue for people to find work in the market!
