Job search engine Simply Hired has announced the launch of five new job search websites in Italy (www.simplyhired.it), Ireland (www.simplyhired.ie), Belgium (www.simplyhired.be), the Netherlands (www.simplyhired.nl) and Brazil (www.simplyhired.com.br).
The significance of launching in these locales, a Simply Hired spokesperson said, is that they are regarded as “prosumer” countries that have early adopters of innovative technology and Internet usage, and that each country has primed job seekers to embrace localized job search engines.
“Simply Hired is proud to offer localized job search engines in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australia,” said Sachin Shah, Director of International, Simply Hired. “Our recent expansion to Italy, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Brazil is a testament of our commitment to helping job seekers around the world.”
Job seekers accessing the new Simply Hired sites can search job boards, content websites, newspapers and company career pages in each country.
Moreover, through its international partnership with LinkedIn, Simply Hired’s local websites will allow job seekers to find connections at companies. Without requiring membership, Simply Hired also shows returning users which new listings have been added since their last visit and offers an advanced search option to return job listings that match specific criteria in the users’ native language.
Recruiters and employers can add their jobs into these international sites through a job feed. They can also advertise their employment brand via ‘premium’ display ads that appear on certain search result pages.
“As Simply Hired continues to grow and expand globally, localizing our job search services is crucial to ensuring successful market entry,” said Gautam Godhwani, Co-founder and CEO, Simply Hired. “Localized Simply Hired sites in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, the U.K., Germany, Spain and France are already providing job seekers in these countries the best opportunity possible to discover their dream job. By expanding our services to Italy, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Brazil, Simply Hired is demonstrating a strong commitment to the worldwide job search market.”

This is great move for SimplyHired. Ireland & The Netherlands have executed well for other hi tech companies needs.
