The Scotsman and The Herald carry job adverts most days, although Friday is the best day for both. The Scotsman has an Edinburgh bias to the jobs in it, the Herald a Glasgow bias. However, sometimes jobs in Edinburgh are only advertised in the Herald. I've also seen Highland jobs only advertised in the Herald. Best to get both if you're not fussy about location. If you live outside Scotland, the best paper with a UK wide circulation and with a focus on Scottish jobs is Scotland on Sunday. Can't say much about the journalism though, after all it is from the Andrew Neil propaganda machine.
The Scotsman is at

The Herald is at http://www.heraldscotland.com//
Scotland on Sunday is at http://www.scotlandonsunday.com/
Note: Many of the on-line resources are biased towards jobs for those in
the computer industry.

Meta search for jobs. Potentially a great (although rather obvious) idea
but has some way to go to be a useful search as there are limited search
options and the integration between the jobs.co.uk site and the others
is very lacking in places. One day they may all get their collective
acts together and create a common API which produces something useful.
Alternatively, contact us as we are interested in developing such an
interface and are looking for funding/sponsors/partners and I own the domain movejobs.com for this.
Similar to Jobserve although some jobs may appear on one and not the other.

Very flexible search which actually seems to work, unlike many other sites. Highly recommended. They have launched a Scottish flavoured version at http://www.scotrecruit.com/ which is highly recommended
Jobserve allows you to filter jobs by location so you can receive a mail
whenever a job in Scotland comes up which matches your criteria (e.g.
technical skills) For more information about JobServe, please send a
blank e-mail to mailto: help@jobserve.com or visit their website at

Unfortunately, for years you couldn't filter by salary so you often got back a load of irrelevant dross. Unfortunately also only agencies can use the service. This means that vacancies with many smaller companies are not to be found here as such companies cannot afford the 30% of first year's salary which agencies charge, often for a few hours work (not bad work if you can get it!). This is the original online job matching service and it shows. You can still apply for the same job multiple times. I did in fact think online jobs searching was a good idea in 1989 and appeared in the local paper winning an award for the idea as part of the Shell Livewire competition.

One of the most flexible searches going, highly recommended.
http://www.killerjobs.com/
A decent website with a reasonable number of results. No salary search though.
Keywords are mandatory (so no browsing for just the top paid jobs, irrespective
of keywords)
http://www.monster.co.uk/
Apparently the market leader, although unfortunately they can't email
you the actual details of jobs which match your requirements!

Search by salary doesn't work
