You might have more luck getting the developer to fix it by providing some information about your browser. It works fine in the latest stable Chrome on Mac OS X, for example.

Isn't it better to let a recruitment company do the hard work for you?

In a technical job market there are recruitment consultants that know all of the companies, what might work for you and where there might be a need. In my experience they do provide a very good service. However, we tend to dislike them when they are not needed so we might overlook them as our first point of call.

A company like "Glass Door" perhaps?

Taleo makes a great job making it as painful as possible to search and apply for jobs. I find it pretty funny a "hack" of how to look through taleo listings is in an article about unadvertised jobs.

Broken on Firefox for me too.

I was expecting a post that told you to "get off your lazy ass and look for some in your area". Instead, I got a primer on Google search operators.

In my experience 'Option one' is not so bad. You need different industry directories (not just "yellow pages") to find most relevant companies and then contact them. Laborious but better than being one in a hundred applicants.
