Is it too early to predict the demise of Indeed? Probably, but the vertical job search engine is now down two employees thanks to rival engine Juju.
Brendan Cruickshank is now VP of sales for Juju and Chris Campbell is director of sales. Both served in similar roles at Indeed.
Both Cruickshank and Campbell were diplomatic in describing their exodus, only saying, “It was time to go in a different direction.”

I’m assuming you mean “Juju Lands Two Executives From Indeed.com” in your browser header????

Who is JUJU anyway? It always makes me wonder when a company hides behind a “nothing about the company” about page and a simple contact page that makes you wonder who they are as well as what and why they are trying to hide. It’s no wonder open and above board companies like Indeed and Simply Hired have walked all over them in traffic

All you need to know about Juju is this: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/juju.com/. Not sure if its possible, but it looks like they have no traffic…literally no traffic.
And this…their name is horrible. Great work fellas!

Anonymous – do you work in this industry, familiar with the web, anything? Seems there’s more to know about Juju if you understand how to look.

Their traffic is PITIFUL compared to Indeed and Simply Hired. In this job market they have gone DOWN 10% while Simply Hired has DOUBLED.

I think Jamie is on to something since they want to skulk about and hide like some kind of scam artist would. People are wary especially after Monster was hacked 3 times. Who wants to deal with some company that is so arrogant that they think they need to hide? Or is there a reason they need to hide?
