Wowjobs-One Click All Jobs

The current global recession is making life harder for almost everyone across the world, but even more so for job seekers. We are trying our best to simplify the job search process for job seekers in several countries by giving them the widest width and depth in job search results, user friendly design and interface and simplicity in overall site usage.
In our attempt to deliver on this goal, we are pleased to announce the launch of Wowjobs Singapore-Singapore's largest job search engine. When we say that we offer the largest job search engine in a specific country, we really mean it. We offer the widest selection of fresh jobs that are typically unavailable at any other job board or job search engine.

We are pleased to introduce a new way for researching salary information in Canada- Canada Salary Search.

Our salary search tool is unlike most currently available salary research tools that rely on employer or employee surveys. Instead, we harness the power of our data warehouse of Canadian job listings that is used to power the Wowjobs's job search.

Using the Canada Salary Search is simple- just provide keyword and/or location information and you will see results in graphical and text format. You can also easily compare various keyword/location pairs to see the impact of relocation or added education/certification on salary.

Of course, like a few great things in life, the salary search tool is free to use and does not require any tedious registration or submission of your current salary information.

This is a beta release and there could be a few problems with it. Please try this feature out and submit your feedback to us.

Edmonton is a great city. In terms of career advancement and various quality of life metrics, it offers great possibilities to people at different stages of their careers. After all, we are based here for a reason!
Unless you are living in some other country and haven’t’ kept pace with what’s going on with the economy of Canada, you probably know that Alberta has been experiencing massive talent shortage for a while. Edmonton in particular has witnessed a dramatic rise in the number of jobs available as you can see by searching for jobs in Edmonton. However, the availability of quality talent hasn’t kept pace with this surge in jobs.
The Edmonton Economic Development Corporation is working on initiative to address this labor shortage by promoting the city of Edmonton in Central Canada to potential job seekers.
EEDC and Wowjobs.ca have partnered to create a custom implementation of Wowjobs.ca to offer potential job seekers perhaps the easiest way of searching through all jobs available in Edmonton and surrounding areas. The custom site can be accessed from Edmonton.com site as well as directly from here.

In our attempt to make Wowjobs.ca, the most comprehensive Canadian job search site, we are now including support for jobs published in word format. We have added tens of sites to our results that have jobs posted in word format and were previously unavailable for searching. As an example, check out jobs with Delphi Solutions

In an ideal world, employers would publish their RSS job feeds that would contain the detailed job descriptions that we could easily process and make them available for searching.
In the real world, however, jobs are posted in a variety of ways on the internet. Many employers post their jobs in PDF format as well. A few days ago, one of our users reported that one of the employers whose jobs are normally included in our results did not have any of the jobs in our job results. And sure enough, this employer-Whitby Mental Health center- had switched from normal web page format to PDF format for job postings.
Our aim at Wowjobs is to make Wowjobs the only place where you need to go for job search in Canada. With that goal in mind, we are pleased to announce the inclusion of jobs posted in PDF format from hundreds of employers across Canada. We'll be very quickly adding more sites that have jobs posted in PDF format. Some of the biggest employers whose jobs we have indexed include Nunavut Government, BC Provincial Health Authority and of course, the Whitby Mental Health Center. This is a new feature so there could be a few glitches. Please keep all the wonderful suggestions coming in.

We've been working hard over the last several months to offer you the best job search experience possible in Canada. We've been focusing on three important things:

-Quantity of Jobs

-Search Relevance/Experience

-Quality of Jobs

While we continue to work on quantity of jobs as well as search relevance, I'd like to highlight some of the changes we have made related to improving the quality of jobs. As you know, to offer you the maximum number of jobs, we try to incorporate results from as many genuine job sources in Canada as possible. However, while we try to do our best to establish the genuineness of these sources, on some occasions, perhaps due to their own business reasons, some of these sources publish less than desirable job postings.

The most recent example of this came to our attention and it was almost bizarre. Job site A (which will go unnamed here) got its jobs from Job Site B(which will also remain anonymous) and posted on its own site. So far, it's understandable. However, job site B got its jobs from job site C(which will be named-Canadian Job bank). So for a job seeker on wowjobs, the following would transpire:

Job seeker searches for keyword/location combo and sees results from job site A. She clicks on the link on job site A and she's taken to job site B. She doesn't find the information there either and clicks on link to job site C. On clicking the link to job site C, instead of finding job details, she finds a message that the job posting has expired. If you are a patient person, you might live through all this, but I'd definitely be a tad angry.








Well, our only business model at this time is to make our users happy and we took this quite seriously and got rid of the offending job boards from our results. And to make sure that we did not lose out on any of the original jobs (howsoever scarce) posted on either of these boards, we directly indexed the job sites of the companies that post on these boards.

Please keep those suggestions and (the always welcome) rants coming. All the best for job searching in the New Year!
