The Mother of All Job Search Engines?

Written by Michael on August 22, 2006 – 4:45 am -

I’ve just come across an interesting company and site that may make it much easier for you to search for job positions online.

I haven’t personally used it (I already have a few jobs!), but it comes highly recommended by Guy Kawasaki, the original Apple Macintosh evangelist, Silicon Valley veteran, writer (get some of his stuff — he’s a Top 5er in my view), and just all-round smart guy.

[Two of my favorite Kawasaki books are Selling the Dream, about embracing your passion for your business, your work, or your career and then making it real, and Hindsights:  The Wisdom and Breakthroughs of Remarkable People.]

Rather than going one-by-one to such sites as CareerBuilder, Monster, or Hot Jobs in search of your dream job, why not try a site that covers them all, plus a whole lot more?

Simply Hired is a vertical search-engine company that claims to be building the largest online database of jobs on the planet.  Well, it certainly looks like they’re on the case, as they find job listings — dream jobs and run-of-the-mill alike — from thousands of job boards, classified newspaper section, and company job postings.

I trust Guy, and the folks at Simply Hired look like they’ve figured out how to make a good thing better.

Check ‘em out and please report back if you like what you see.

    Simply Hired is a good website for someone looking for a job in the corporate world, it really is a great way to search. I wish I could find a website that lists jobs with small companies or entrepreneurs. I am looking for something different, something interesting, something progressive.

    Michael - I think your articles are very well written and informative.
