Online classified website LiveDeal has followed MySpace in tapping job search engine SimplyHired for employment listings.
LiveDeal found out what Microsoft did – few individuals post job listings to classified sites. By signing up SimplyHired, LiveDeal will have access to five million job listings to populate its web presence.
SimplyHired said its five million listings and counting make it the world’s largest search engine for jobs. It collates job postings from a variety of large and small sites, including company websites.
In terms of traffic, LiveDeal said in a statement that August 2006 brought in more than 1.4 million unique visitors to the site. Those visitors can browse or post free ads on the classifieds site.
Rajesh Navar, an original member of eBay’s engineering team, founded LiveDeal in 2003. The company recently expanded into Canada, in partnership with a couple of other firms.
LiveDeal also works with Pets 911 to help increase pet adoptions from local shelters. Available animals for a local region may be viewed at LiveDeal’s new Adoptable Pets section of its Pets pages.
