@Nikhil – If you remember, google news faced similar criticism, today they are probably one of the biggest source of traffic for news websites.

Air ticketing / insurance quotes aggregators will fall in same category.

Just responding to all comments by searching for my name on your blog :))

My friend who worked for clickjobs say that customers are call him to ask why no response to job posting? why no CV in search? guess why simply hired is not indexing the fake jobs site!

Jeet – I wonder if that’s a threat to all the job sites they’re indexing. In fact, was going to include that in the post.

SimplyHired’s biggest win was probably when they got integrated with LinkedIn’s job search. It’s good to see a good job aggregator. I hope job sites won’t be dumb enough to send them legal notices.

Heh…not a deliberate typo, but while typing this, I was thinking – “Hey, why not a site called Simplyfired”, wherein people can give details of the situation in their organization. We’ve not been able to confirm the retrenchment…so an anonymous site, perhaps.

So, because I was simultaneously thinking about SimplyFired, the typo. :) Not intentional.

“Simplyfired essentially lists relevant jobs…”
Nikhil, is the type deliberate as you say
“we’ve been hearing about people being asked to leave, and at times, salaries delayed or not paid in full…” :-)
