Union Square Ventures worked really hard to convince Indeed.com to let them invest in it six years back. This capital venture firm is known for some of its prudent investments like for Twitter and Zynga, and has since invested in Indeed because it felt that it was the best candidate for an online job search site.
Today, Indeed.com has a top-notch website that works like Google. Being an aggregator, its search engine browses the net for job listings on thousands and thousands of websites from job boards and associations to company career pages and newspapers. Job seekers will typically search for listings on the site’s home page, which is similar in look and feel to that of Google’s home page. As a user, you can use 2 things to get started – what kind of job you want and where you want this job to be.
Clicking on a job listing will take you directly to that site where the position has been posted. This includes some of the leading job portals like Monster and CareerBuilder. Indeed’s focus has always been to keep it as simple as possible.
Last month, Indeed had nearly 50 million unique visitors, and generates its revenue from pay per click advertising. The company has been highly profitable since 2007 and the sales doubled in 2010!
