Indeed.com - Job Search Engine

Think Google, but specifically for jobs. Indeed.com is an all inclusive job search engine. Similar to other search engines look and functionality, Indeed searches using keywords, whereas, you can search by location, salary, job type, or all three together. The user also has the option to search by already designated categories. Using a keyword search, the job results are more tailored to the job you want, which makes it easier for job seekers to find the optimum listing. A neat function that Indeed has is that it allows you to save your search results, and will send you updates via email of new listings that are part of your previous search. It can also be used as a good tool for employers seeking job applicants, allowing them to include their job listings in the search engine. The search is free for job seekers and employers. The user can also search through articles, blogs and informational tools regarding jobs, such as salary and job trends.

“Indeed is a search engine for jobs - with a radically different approach to job search. In one simple search, Indeed gives job seekers free access to millions of employment opportunities from thousands of websites. Indeed.com includes all the job listings from major job boards, newspapers, associations and company career pages - and we continue to add new sites every day.”

Unlike most large job search websites, Indeed.com is free. This is a main attraction, especially because the majority of people searching for a job is unemployed, and therefore, may not have the disposable income to pay for a job search. Also, the functionality of the keyword search is a main draw for someone seeking a job with specific requirements.

How large is their job pool? Is the user going to get as many job listings with Indeed as they would with one of the larger, well established job sites?
