Pasadena, CA — Hound, one of the largest job search engines in the world, has managed to create a record of sorts by listing more than 698,080 jobs in its database directly from employer sites! More than 300 research professionals have scoured these jobs from thousands of employer websites and aggregated them in the Hound database.
The unemployment rate has remained stubborn and high in the last month, according to a Labor Department report. According to some other reports, India played major role in creating employment in US by investing over $26.6 billion in the US over the last five years and creating about 60,000 jobs, even as the country is the third largest investor in the US. Fresh talks and alliances are underway as the US is seeking to rejuvenate economic ties with India for creating more and more jobs.
Elsewhere, the Census said it had 330,737 temporary workers on its payroll in the week ended June 12. There were 573,779 temporary Census workers in May. Reports suggest that the Census payrolls actually declined by about 243,000.
The number of CEOs who are planning to ramp up hiring is the highest in three years, according to a survey of The Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of big US companies that suggests large US companies are growing more confident about improvement in economy.
The survey shows 39 percent of CEOs expect to boost their payrolls in the second half of 2010. About 43 percent expect to have no changes in the current employee strength while 17 percent of them thought about initiating job cuts.
Barnes adds, ''Ironically, there has been a drastic surge in the number of hirings but no job board seems to post more openings in their site. The main reason behind it is that most of the jobs are present on employer websites and are strewn all over the internet as well as print media. The reason for this is that it is free for employers to post jobs on their own sites and may cost $300 or more for an employer to post a job on a commercial job site. Jobs on employer websites hardly receive any applications because job seekers simply do not know about them.''
''With a highly trained team of researchers who personally screen each and every job posted on Hound’s portals, Hound seeks out, edits, approves, and tracks an elite collection of jobs on an ongoing basis,'' Barnes says. ''Hound was even rated as one of the Top 20 best job search sites by PC Magazine and ranked as numero uno job site in Applicant.''
