EXTREME Search

(At least that's what *I* wanted to call it.)

Last week, we quietly launched Advanced Search, a more powerful way for you to find jobs. There is nothing new here really. We just put a nice candy wrapper on existing features: new ones such as the ability to exclude words or search only the title or company name, and classic SimplyHired features such as limiting your search to only jobs with salary data or at Fortune 500 companies.

Everybody likes a show-off. The cool thing about advanced search, is that it shows off all of simplyhired.com's search feature at a glance. (And the pretty colors. We like those too.) Keep watching this space; we have some great new improvements to the way you look for jobs coming soon.

Dave speaks. Oh. And there is a nice little interview with our very own Dave McClure at BusinessLogs.com. People at this company just don't know how to keep their mouth shut.

Simply the Best (better than all the rest)

Search Engine News names Simply Hired the best job search engine site.

'Simply Hired seems to be by far the best looking and most functional job search so far.'

More praise:

'The greatest thing about the site is off to the right, the rate it area. Rating a job posting doesn’t rank it for other people, it saves the job posting for yourself. You keep your own database of jobs on this site, rather than having to bookmark every job posting you like, as you have to do on the other sites. Once saved, the site lets you add comments next to the job posting. This makes the website a true job portal, and it lets you track your applications and follow up on them very easily.'

(but nothing about our quirky error messages...?!?)

if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

Simply Hired proudly announces the launch of Simply Fired, brought to you by Mark Jen (the ex-Googler fired for blogging).

Tell us your best (worst?) story about getting fired, and you could win a fabulous prize... fabulous, as in like a t-shirt.
