SimplyHired and LinkedIn Integration
This is pretty old, but I thought it quite interesting:

But SimplyHired is doing some interesting things that differentiate it from the category traffic leaders. Rather than just crawl and aggregate listings it's creating value-added services on top of that data. Most interesting among those efforts is SimplyHired's parternship with business networking site LinkedIn.

For every job listing that comes up there's a LinkedIn button. Click the button and you're immediately taken - assuming you have a LinkedIn account (which it seems almost everyone I speak to does at this point) - to a page that shows you any connections you may have at the hiring firm. This allows candidates to learn more about the company and/or find an internal champion for their efforts. There's nothing comparable to this at other jobs sites that I'm aware of.


The investment FIM made in SimplyHired shows that the separation of publishing platform and search in the job space is going to happen sooner than later. And SimplyHired's integration with LinkedIn shows that search and Indexinglinks can be separate from social networking. Are we really embarking on a distributed world of apps and data?
