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."

Local.com Corporation, owns Local.com (www.local.com), a leading local search engine (ranked #79 in U.S. website traffic - July 2006 comScore). Local.com attracts over 10 million visitors each month seeking information on local businesses, products, services and people. Powered by the company's patent-pending Keyword DNA® and local web indexing technologies, Local.com provides users with targeted, relevant local search results. These results include special offers from local businesses, reviews from other users, local businesses' website links, maps, driving directions and more. Businesses can advertise on Local.com with subscription, pay per click, banner and pay per call ad products.

Indeed.com (www.indeed.com), the most comprehensive search engine for jobs, has pioneered a radically improved approach to job search. Job seekers now have free access -- instantly, in a single search -- to millions of jobs from thousands of company Web sites, job boards, newspapers and associations. Indeed.com makes it easy for job seekers to drill down by keyword and location to find exactly the right jobs. Job seekers may also save searches and have jobs delivered by email alert or RSS. Indeed.com was selected by Time magazine as one of the "50 Coolest Web Sites" for 2005 and by PC World as one of the best 50 Web sites in February 2006. Indeed is a privately held company based in Stamford, Connecticut, founded by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan. Shareholders include The New York Times Company, Union Square Ventures and Allen & Company.
