Today was the conclusion of the Simply Hired March hack day.
Hack day is an opportunity for everyone once a quarter to set aside their normal work and experiment with a new idea. All departments participate. A few people are inspired enough to stay till the wee hours of the morning. Lots of snacks (and caffeine) are provided and consumed.
The result of all the hard work is a morning full of sharing ideas and even some complete products. This hack day produced videos, new job search features, weather forecasts, maps and much more.
A large number of these ideas will be implemented on to SimplyHired.com- stay tuned for some cool new features.
On Tuesday evening, Simply Hired's CEO & Co-founder, Gautam Godhwani was featured on the ABC World News with Diane Sawyer segment, Job Openings: Where to Apply.
The latest job statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows an increase of 260,000 job openings in the month of December. Gautam provided insight regarding occupations driving the growth and the salaries associated with them:
Yesterday, we announced an interactive, online U.S Employment Trends tool (found at http://www.simplyhired.com/a/trends/national) which allows job seekers instant access to both local and national employment data. This tool is especially useful for job seekers and the media because it offers forward-looking data that can predict hiring based on job openings each month.
Job seekers can discover job posting trends nationally by metro area, industry and occupation, in addition to the degree of job competition in each metro area. Dating back to October 2010, this range of data provides a clear picture of the number of jobs available and the competition for those jobs.
While the BLS and ADP reports provide data on positions filled, SimplyHired.com's U.S Employment Trends tool provides the only forward-looking data from any job source, making it the leading indicator of the health of the job market.
