This year's Altair Technology Conference will take place on 2nd November at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.
This view is reinforced by Ray Duggins, Managing Director of TheITJobBoard.com.
In a recent interview with recruitment advertising industry website ri5.co.uk, Duggins says he finds it difficult to believe that many of the sites can be commercially viable pointing out that some of the larger sites are now owned by organisations "with very deep pockets".
But he highlighted the success of specialist sites such as Jimfinder.com, adding: "Some very commendable niche sites - Jimfinder, for example - are evidently continuing to do well".
Jimfinder's Tim Bowman commented: "Engineers using recruitment websites need and deserve to have access to 'real jobs from real companies'".
"Agency shopping lists, funded by the job boards' free deals, may offer seemingly impressive volume of jobs on their websites, but they fail to inspire the jobseeker, and certainly don't give a true overview of the marketplace".
