VentureBeat: Simply Hired keeps expanding its job search

  • Leon · 3 years ago
    Simply Hired appears to be a job and resume bank. The site seems to have been launched in early 2005. Traffic on the site has been declining in 2006 according to Alexa. CNN Money reported in April 2006 that the company raised $13.5 million from News Corp and Foundation Capital. Another $3 million was raised in August 2005 according to the company’s press release.

    Leon: while i won't comment on the overall accuracy (or lack thereof) of Alexa traffic metrics, regardless i don't believe the MySpace & LinkedIn traffic #'s are included in the Simply Hired alexa ranking.

    [full disclosure: i'm an investor in Simply Hired, and former employee / current advisor]

    Leon: to build on Dave's comment ... With Alexa, you get what you pay for.

    Actual traffic growth is quite robust when a) you use a more reliable data source, like comScore, and b)when you add partner traffic to the traffic to simplyhired.com. With more than 130M MySpace members, there are boatloads of them hunting for jobs at any given moment.
