Local.com Corporation, owners of the leading
local search engine Local.com, and Indeed.com, the most comprehensive search
engine for jobs, have introduced Local.com Jobs, a new component on
Local.com designed to provide job seekers free access to millions of
job opportunities from thousands of websites, including job boards,
newspaper classifieds, and company career pages. Local.com Jobs
provides highly relevant job search results to help potential employees
find and get the right job.
Job seekers may search by keyword and location, including by zip code,
city name or region. Advanced search options are also available, such
as searching on a particular company name, job title or specifying a
maximum commuting distance.
"Most job seekers look for work
locally," said Jennifer Black, vice president of marketing, Local.com.
"Local.com now offers the most relevant and up-to-date local employment
opportunities, so job seekers can find that perfect job close to home
and companies can find talented local candidates."
"While there
are lots of jobs available online, finding the right ones is what
matters to job seekers," said Paul Forster, CEO of Indeed. "Local.com
has a strong track record in providing users with relevant local
search. By integrating Indeed's comprehensive job search into
Local.com's search engine, both employers and candidates stand to gain."
