indeed’s paul forster on the new york times article

Mon, Jan 16, 2006

Update on the much-hyped New York Times article:

"Indeed
is working with Directemployers/JobCentral in that we include
DirectEmployers job listings in our index. The NY Times report is
incorrect and I understand from Bill Warren [JobCentral] that there was a
misunderstanding with the journalist."
- Paul Forster, CEO, Indeed.com

Looks like we’ve gotten a bit worked up over nothing.

Joel,

I commend you for so quickly and so prominently correcting the error. And the error wasn’t even yours. You repeated the NY Times error, granted, but I question how many so-called journalists and newspaper editors would be as inclined as you were to provide the same prominence to your correction as you provided to the original posting. Good work!
