» Silicon Valley still rules -- in job market, at least from SiliconBeat
Here's an interesting graphic produced by the job search engine start-up, Indeed. It shows the number of jobs each city has per capita (see below); the larger the circle, the more the number of jobs per person in that city. It shows that San Jose leads... [Read More]

After writing my last post, I realized that I had blogged through the first morning session, which is unfortunate because I would have enjoyed Better Blogging Brainstorms. Jason Toney, who I met on the plane last night, covered it though [Read More]

Thanks for the tip on Indeed. I've been checking it out. Besides the cool stuff...it has great features that solve real problems. I just ran through a comparison between Indeed and SimplyHired. Indeed has a cleaner look and much better error correction than SimplyHired - which is still quite good as well. Both these product show there is a real place for Vertical search!

While it is true Indeed is produces interesting stats and gives them away for free they have also created a job search engine with far greater possibilities than the major job boards that currently exist.
This includes SimplyHired as well. The small business owner's across the nation can now use sites like TemporarEase and post any position for free. Free posting is not new but what has changed is Indeed, SimplyHired and others that have major traffic post those jobs onto their boards giving those jobs much more exposure than they would usually get. Our company has targeted small to midsize companies that may not have a large advertising budget for Monster and Hotjobs and they are getting responses from interested applicants that might never have seen these jobs without the free services being offered by TemporarEase, Indded and SimplyHired.
What this will do to pricing at the larger boards and traditional print classifieds remains to be seen, but for now small business seems to have very cheap and effective new way to advertise, hire and grow. As long as job posting remains free for all jobs and more people move to Vertical search then why pay yo post?
