Indeed, the best job search engine out there
I have been trying to help a friend of mine find a new job using several of the job boards and search engines. We have had little luck. You know how e-mail has spam and search engines have spam. Well, the majority of job boards have spam as well.
Indeed.com, (one search. all jobs) helps cut through the clutter. My friend is looking for a job in financial operations, so we typed in financial operations into Indeed, and received over 2,500 jobs matching those keywords. How does that cut through the clutter? Well, first of all these 2500+ jobs are under one umbrella. No more site jumping. Big deal, right? Well that isn’t the best part. Indeed offers “refinements” on the left-hand side of the results that allows the visitor to easily “refine” their job search. You can refine by job title, company, location, job type and if it is an employer or recruiter posting. It is really cool.
Here is an example search:
- Financial Operations, Houston, TX
- Click Deloitte under company refinement
- Clicked on job title Capital Markets Manager
- Click on job result takes me to Deloitte’s site on CareerBuilder
You have to try it out… if you are looking for a job. If not, tell a friend.

[…] Mobissimo looks cool, but it is lacking in functionality that would make the site great. I was looking for travel options for the spring, and wanted to customize my results based on criteria such as airline. It took more work than what it was worth, and the “from” and “to” selector took a lot of time, so did the date selector. I think they have a lot of potentional with their blog and activity search, but in my opinion the basic usability is not at the level of other sites. Indeed.com, would be a good model to follow with their refinement options post-search. […]

You know what needs to be done, is to have a some tool that will allow you to populate all of these freaking online job applications. They all ask for the same thing and most are similarly formatted, but you have to enter in all information manually each time.

If you like Indeed, I’d encourage you to try Simply Hired as well. Simply Hired offers a variety of very specific sorting options that Indeed doesn’t have — as well as a database of >5M jobs. Take for a test drive and see what you think. Here’s hoping you find it helpful.

Indeed is cool vertical job search, but you know, almost all the top job search engines have refining feature in search result page.
the best part is indeed returned relevant jobs matching your keywords, and those up-to-date jobs crawled from countless job board, and corporate career site.

SH and Indeed have done a masterful job aggregating content from disparate Web properties. Might now be the time to truly innovate?
Just-Posted.com (http://www.Just-Posted.com) recently launched its flagship vertical job search engine, and it returns the most relevant matching job leads available.

Attached is a link to a Booz Allen study on the direction internet-based hiring is heading. It appears corporations are going to invest big money in new systems of their own. Good for Indeed, bad for Monster.
