New Year, New Feature: Integrated Search

(Okay, I’m lying. Our intrepid engineers hustled to get this feature out before the "7" changed into an "8," and they beat the clock by 11 days!)

It’s a little box. But as we’re always being told, best things, small packages, et cetera. This box is small enough to fit right at the top of your Job-a-matic job board. And it contains over six million jobs.

Yes folks, you now have the option of allowing your users to search Simply Hired's vast database from within your job board.

Setup is simple. Log in to your Job-a-matic account and click on the configuration tab. See how the Colors tab has been updated to “Colors & Type?”

Basically, we now offer “Job-a-matic Classic” and “New Job-a-matic,” which, in case you are worried, is much, much tastier than New Coke. New Job-a-matic gives you the ability to create a full-on job search site, with access to Simply Hired’s entire database of job listings. So:

• You can add a search box to your job site
• You can allow your users to search for any jobs they want
• Your users will not be constrained by your back-fill keywords
• Your users see results displayed with your look and feel

What’s the catch? There really isn’t one. But here are a few things to know:

• We will automatically create filters. We do not present your categories as filters to the job seeker
• Your job categories are now only presented to the job poster, to help them classify their jobs.

As always, if you have any questions about how to make a Job-a-matic job board work for you, contact us using any of the friendly links on the right. Meanwhile, Happy New Year!

What was the reasoning for not allowing our filters for the job listings on the new format? If you have a niche board (ours is Roofing), why would we want to see jobs for office techs, php programmers, and a other non-related careers? This makes no sense to me.

Also, it would be nice to have access to the filter for States/Localities and Companies on the Classic format. They appear to be missing and you can only get those filters by changing to the New format. This makes the Classic format almost useless as a real Job finding resource.
