We present here an extension of our search for EISERS (Extremely Inverted Spectrum Extragalactic Radio Sources) to the northern hemisphere. With an inverted radio spectrum of slope $alpha$ $>$ + 2.5, these rare sources would either require a non-standard particle acceleration mechanism (in the framework of synchrotron self-absorption hypothesis), or a severe free-free absorption which attenuates practically all of their synchrotron radiation at metre wavelengths. A list of 15 EISERS candidates is presented here. It was assembled by applying a sequence of selection filters, starting with the two available large-sky radio surveys, namely the WENSS (325 MHz) and the ADR-TGSS (150 MHz). These surveys offer the twin advantages of being fairly deep (typical rms $<$ 10 mJy/beam) and having a sub-arcminute resolution. Their zone of overlap spreads over 1.3$pi$ steradian in the northern hemisphere. Radio spectra are presented for the entire sample of 15 EISERS candidates, of which 8 spectra are of GPS type. Eleven members of the sample are associated with previously known quasars. Information on the parsec-scale radio structure, available for several of these sources, is also summarized.
