Simply
Hired, the largest job
search engine, today announced a new localized destination website
for Japan (www.simplyhired.jp).With
more than 200,000 available local job postings at launch, Simply Hired’s
expanded presence in Asia will directly benefit job seekers—who
anticipate a worsening in the job market toward the end of the year—and
bring a wealth of opportunity to local recruiters, employers and Web
publishers. The new job search engine for Japan joins localized Simply
Hired websites in 14 other countries on five continents and in eight
languages.
Simply Hired has indexed more than five million jobs worldwide from the
leading job boards, content websites, newspapers and company career
pages. The new site in Japan will provide local job seekers with a
simple online job search experience in their native language. Without
requiring membership, www.simplyhired.jp
immediately shows returning users which new listings have been added
since their last visit, offers an advanced search option to return job
listings that match specific criteria, and allows job seekers to search
for a position by local zip code or by train station. Additionally,
through its international partnership with LinkedIn,
www.simplyhired.jp
will allow job seekers to discover the connections they have within
companies, providing them the inside track on the hiring process.
“Japan’s unemployment rate reached a six-year high of 3.61 million in
August, leaving an unprecedented number of job seekers looking for
work,” said Sachin Shah, Director of International, Simply Hired. “With
the launch of www.simplyhired.jp,
Simply Hired continues our ongoing mission to provide localized,
language-specific job search for every major region in the
world—providing as many people as possible with an opportunity to find
their ideal job.”
For recruiters and employers, Simply Hired offers the ability to add
their jobs into these search sites through a job feed. They can also
advertise their employment brand via premium display ads that appear on
relevant search result pages. To express interest in including your
jobs, visit any Simply Hired international site and click the “Add Jobs”
link at the bottom of the page. For more information about advertising

supplement existing content. By including job listings on their sites,
publishers can improve their visitor engagement and increase traffic. As
an example, Simply
Hired currently supplements LinkedIn’s international job board with

Kingdom, Australia, India, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy,
