National job board partners with vertical job search engine SimplyHired.com
Mountain View, CA – Tuesday, January 16, 2006 – Simply Hired, the world’s largest search engine for jobs, and DirectEmployers Association, a nonprofit organization which operates JobCentral, today announced a partnership to provide access to over four million job listings indexed by Simply Hired on JobCentral, the Internet’s first employer-owned job board and employment website.
“JobCentral already affords job seekers a rich set of employment information and services, however we wanted to dramatically expand the number of jobs available to our users,” said Bill Warren, Executive Director for DirectEmployers Association. “After surveying the field we found Simply Hired provided the largest index of job listings online. With this partnership, JobCentral users now have instant access to over four million jobs from all over the Web.”
“Our mission is to help people find more jobs, from more employers,” said Gautam Godhwani, CEO of Simply Hired. “We’re excited to be working with DirectEmployers to power their ‘Search the Web’ feature for jobs. Leading employment sites like JobCentral can now use our job search engine to immediately scale their offerings and make the widest selection of jobs available to their users. Distribution alliances like this one will be an important part of our growth strategy and you can expect to see more such partnerships in 2006.”
