The Ultimate RSS Feed Collection for the Israeli Job Seeker in 2007

Update: A newer version of the Ultimate RSS Feed Collection for Israeli Job Seekers is now available.

One of the technologies that has proliferated like wildfire in the past few years is RSS. Its XML-based flexibility allows programmers to manipulate it so easily that services like Yahoo! Pipes have now sprung up permitting non-programmers to do the same. Its simplicity has led to RSS feeds being generated on countless sites across the Web, including many jobsites. Now it's time to make them work for you.

Don't bother subscribing to each feed separately, you'll see why at the end.

English feeds

• Israemploy Hot Jobs – Israemploy.net publishes a list of jobs that have just been announced, covering any field.
• LaunchPad Israel Hot Startup Jobs – similarly to the above, LaunchPad Israel has a feed of recent openings but these are specific to the Israeli startup.
• LaunchPad Israel Craigslist Tech Jobs – another feed from LaunchPad Israel, this feed aggregates all Israel-based job openings posted on craigslist.org.
• Job Central Israel – This feed is of a search result for Israel-based jobs in the JobCentral database, mostly hitech jobs.
• Vast – Jobs in Israel – Another feed based on search results, Vast covers many industries beyond hitech including health and business. Thanks to Adrian Wajsbrem for this one.

The Jerusalem Post also has RSS feeds for jobseekers, and a nice form from which you can generate a custom RSS feed based on a search. Unfortunately, no results come up for Israel but if the situation changes you can see for yourself here.
