"We're not hiring you, but we can recommend our recently acquired meta-job search engine."
Reading TechCrunch this AM, before heading off to an early mother's day lunch at Flinders Pub - which is really just an excuse for my family to eat the food where my brother's wedding reception is later in the year aaagh family / wedding / function-stuff they love it - as it seems Google might want to make out with SimplyHired. So it seems goog might buy the vertical search world after all ! Will there be a Fox bidding war ? (as they have a decent size stake) More on this "merger fever" @ Venture Beat.
Given Google is the, if not one, of the top companies (u know those research surveys say) that people want to work for, combined with scraping the whole jobosphere, with smart search tools, that combined with a linkedin buy (at a point in the longer term future), sheez what a combination.
Alarm Clock : "Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdry says that Google is stepping up its efforts to buy VC-backed SimplyHired... Simply Hired almost seems like it was built to be acquired by Google. Its angels are GOOG angels, its based in Mountain View, it targets the long tail and landed a MySpace deal, and Google doesn't have a job search tool."
