Gee whiz: our servers were being *pounded* by you guys, getting sand kicked in their scrawny 98-lb weakling faceplates.
So we sent 'em to Mr. Atlas for some bulking up, and they came back bigger, better, and badder than ever (we upgraded our Simply Blog and Simply Forum server to a beefier machine). Now no one will mess around with us!
ps - apologies for the brief downtime (~30 min) while our sysadmins cleaned up the sand.

mmm... sauce... So if you came here looking to wile away your time, we have a guest post from Simply Hired’s very own Kay L.:
How we plan to make money? Come on... we’ve got better secrets than that. And you're not going to get the inside information from Mr. "Can't Cook Water" Godhwani. Revealed on Friday at our company potluck were the culinary talents from across the company. We are sitting here today *still* stuffed with everything from Jennifer's "I used to work at a Japanese restaurant" sushi to Peter’s "so simple you can make it with a baby in your arms" Soysauce Quinoa. Monica's Chhole Curry was a hit at our feast and even Wilson managed to show up with some homemade (pending verification) guacamole. These are Simply Hired's family jewels. And if you're lucky, we might even share a few with you…such as Daniel's Secret Stuffed Mushrooms, Ricky's Homemade Salsa.

Our CEO and Chief Rabble Rouser, Gautam Godhwani, has given an in-depth interview to Peter Clayton over at landed.fm.
Gautam 
spills the beans on Simply Hired, and talks about returning the focus to the candidate in the job search space. He also reveals his thoughts on where we are, the direction the company is heading, our partnership with LinkedIn, the possible entrance of Google, how we plan to make money, his views of our competitors (they shouldn't wear white after labor day), and our deepest, darkest secrets.
He talks too much. We try not to let him out that often.

At least that was the thought. But then we realized we were lazy, and didn't really want to walk to the door. So we decided to send them straight to your email inbox.
Announcing: Email Alerts
(woo!). You now have the option of having daily or weekly updates emailed to you. Simply conduct a search, tune and filter as needed, and save as an Email Alert. Then sit back, put your feet up and enjoy a cold beverage of your choice, as the latest jobs are emailed to you on a regular basis (and for you folks who are both lazy *and* geeky, remember we can also deliver your favorite jobs via RSS feeds too).
Notable News. We have also added a "notes" field to the My Jobs page. Use it to store research, interview times, status or just your general ponderings and wistful thoughts. Like "ratings", the "notes" that you add to a job are private and can only be seen by you.
As always, we welcome feedback. Please contact us or post in our forums.
