Indeed Hits a Million Per Month

Job search engine Indeed.com pinged me to brag on themselves a little. The company has broken the million job seekers per month barrier, a 300 percent increase in 2006. The upswing in traffic puts the job engine, which ranked sixth among online employment services in Indeed, a figure the company says is over three times more than direct competitors, citing comScore. I'm not sure what they mean by "direct competitor," though. It's hard to imagine they've outsearched CareerBuilder, Monster and Yahoo. The success of the site, which uses a pay-per-click network to monetize it, has netted the company about 150 paying clients and partnerships with heavy-hitters like the New York Times, Boston.com, About.com, A9.com, and Gawker Media. Recently the company added a host of new features to its core search functions. Those additions include email job alerts, RSS job search feeds, jobs by Instant Messager, Firefox and Google job search plug-ins, advanced search refinement, job search management with my.indeed, job trends and salary research.
