Indeed.com

Indeed.com is a job search engine. It was launched in November 2004 as a "search engine for jobs - with a radically different approach to job search. [cite web|url=http://www.indeed.com/about.jsp|title="About Indeed.com"|author=Indeed.com|accessdate=2008-04-21] "

Indeed gives job seekers free access to millions of employment opportunities from thousands of websites. The website offers job search functionality as a vertical search site by aggregating job listings from thousands of websites including major job boards, newspapers, associations and company career pages.

Indeed was co-founded by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan. The company is privately held with investment from The New York Times Company, Allen & Company and Union Square Ventures.

In 2005, Indeed launched their beta version of what they refer to as "pay-per-click job advertising network". [cite web|url=http://www.searchenginejournal.com/indeedcom-launches-job-search-ppc-advertising-network/3420/|title="Indeed.com Launches Job Search PPC Advertising Network"|author=Baker, Loren|publisher=Search Engine Journal|date=2006-05-16|accessdate=2008-04-09] In addition to searching job postings, it also allows the occurrence of words therein to be plotted over time, ostensibly as an indicator of trends in the job market [http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends] .

There are also Indian, UK and Canadian versions of the website.

Concept

Rather than simply being a singular employment search engine, Indeed gives job seekers free access to employment opportunities from thousands of Web sites. They include job listings from all of the other major job boards, newspapers, company career pages and more. Indeed not only shows jobs that companies post on their Web site. By simply searching the Indeed database, users have access to thousands of job openings. [cite web|url=http://websearch.about.com/od/enginesanddirectories/a/indeed.htm|title="Find a Job with Indeed, a Job Search Engine"|publisher=About.com|accessdate=2008-04-09] They have indexed having over 50 million jobs a year from thousands of Web sites. [ [http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends "social networking" Job Trends | Indeed.com ] ] Job seekers do not apply for jobs through Indeed, just receive the listing as to where the job is posted. Applicants can then decide which jobs are of interest and then go to the corresponding sites to apply.
