Web 2.0 technologies are becoming increasingly accepted as relevant recruiting tools. They allow recruiters a larger web footprint (your reach across the web) to find talent, fill job orders, and build strong networks. Two of these sites that are becoming more and more popular for candidates seeking positions are SimplyHired and Indeed. These sites are known as job aggregators and provide job seekers one location to search jobs from traditional boards, newspapers, and private recruiters. In a post on Altsearchengines.com, Lucas Mast of SimplyHired points out:
It is incredibly important that we search every place imaginable to bring our users all available jobs, whether you are looking for a job as an accountant in Los Angeles or as a tattoo artist in Topeka. If we can bring job seekers relevant content that they will not find elsewhere in one place, we would consider that a “win”.
SimplyHired and Indeed also power the job search pages on wildly popular sites like MySpace, Facebook, Linkedin, and Vault, giving recruiters' marketed job orders a ton of exposure. Both job aggregators should be considered valuable accessories to the recruiter toolbox. With exposure to millions of job seekers across multiple social platforms, SimplyHired and Indeed could bring real value and save time when making placements.
