Wowjobs-One Click All Jobs

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!
