It’s so special to see the ebbs and flows online as the internet reacts to ea. others movements; much like a chess game that sometimes gets out of hand and your opponent chucks the whole game up in the air! No one else comes close to googs leverage capabilities so it’s just a matter of time when the counter punch comes and it should knock out the competition or at least leave them punch drunk. lol

A search engine that already takes care of searching for jobs. http://www.indeed.com

They get their revenue from google ads, and companies haven’t complained about them yet. I don’t see how it’s a problem either.

if i’m trying to offer ‘job’ postings on my job site, to drive advertising, do i get to split with yahoo, the revenue that yahoo derives from their advertisers who advertise on the pages that my job postings are displayed??

why wouldn’t i complain if yahoo where to essentially use my job postings, and slap my job postings in a frame on the yahoo site with yahoo advertising.. i’d be losing revenue from my advertising!!

New to this discussion. How does this type of single source solution increase the quality of the results for the job seeker? Monster and the other national boards have long attempted to provide better results by claiming to offer more local jobs.

Also, as the owner of a recruiting firm, I hear from job seekers that these sites have outdated postings. How do they intent to manage the job postings and make sure that the results are “fresh”?
